Let’s face it, lots of people already think I’m a bit of a fruit loop, hectic, hyper, emotional. That’s ok, they are right. I don’t take offence to any of these observations. I’m not trying to be anyone I’m not & nor do I want to be. One thing I have learnt dealing with my … Continue reading judge your little heart out. I DONT CARE!

but why are you mad!??????
We all know that mental illness is due to a chemical imbalance in the brain but it doesn’t stop it from being frustrating.

Remembrance day, anxiety & the calming pill
Today was rememberance day. A day to think of all our fallen hero’s & to mark 100 years since the end of the war.

Mushrooms & death

The postman days before had tried to get into her flat, he had banged on her window demanding she let … Continue reading Mushrooms & death
What is it like inside an asylum?
We don’t call them asylums anymore but we may as well. The name asylum fits the description so much better than ‘ward’. A ward to me symbolisms a hospital type place with clean washed floors, neatly made beds & patients sitting in chairs next to them, or tucked up with clean white sheets up around … Continue reading What is it like inside an asylum?
Mental illness? Pull yourself together & trust me!!!
