We made it ❤️
I really, really don’t want this to be an “oh wow look how much I’ve achieved this year I’m saying all this to make people feel bad about themselves because nobody else in the world has done anything ever” post. 2020 was bad for everyone. We’re all glad its over. It was pretty horrendous. But […]
MoreQuestioning on Sectioning
As a few of you may know, in July of last year I was sectioned. It was under Section 2 of the Mental Health Act which means I could be held in hospital, against my will, for 28 days. I have decided to write a blog post on the subject because last week I was […]
MoreCrappy comments, the ‘no-period’ period and a general update.
I took it to insta to ask people what I should write about. I had several people asking how to deal with triggering remarks, a few on period concerns and some just wondering how I’m doing! So hopefully I’ll get to address all of those in tonight’s post. Let’s get to it! First of all, […]

Honest update – why I’ve been MIA
Hey friends. I know I’ve been MIA for a while. I’m sorry. If I’m completely honest I’ve been struggling. A lot. The ED voice was winning for a while and I’ve been scared. I felt hopeless and lost. I have the most amazing support around me but sometimes I just feel like I don’t want […]
MoreThe Outpatient Diaries: 29.06.20
9:30 I wake up and take Shuggs round the block. He barks at a young boy on a bike, awks. 10:00 I make a smoothie bowl and have some peanut butter. I am still very much craving peanut butter all the time. It’s actually crazy how much of it I eat and my body SCREAMS […]

The Outpatient Diaries: 19.6.20
8:31 Shuggs wakes me up by licking my face as always. I go downstairs and get a snack before taking him around the block. 8:50 I have breakfast. 9:15 I phone the GP about my back and they give me some strong painkillers and some exercises to do. I am getting really annoyed that I […]
MoreMy “bit-of-a-weirdo” ED habits and how I’m breaking them.
Ahh, it feels good to be writing again at last! I’m not really sure what I’ve been up to particularly, just living I guess! It’s been amazing. But, I do really want to get back into this blog business. So here I am! Today I thought I’d do a post on overcoming the hardest anorexia […]
MoreThe Outpatient Diaries: 18.06.20
[Side-note: I know, I know, I’m starting to do the daily diaries again. Surprisingly, it was frequently requested. It might not be as dramatic as the Inpatient Diaries but hopefully it will still be slightly interesting? Who knows. We will just have to see how this goes I suppose.] 8:20 Shuggs wakes me up by […]
MoreA rainy li’l update 💖
Hey everyone! I hope you’re well. Thought an update was due as I haven’t been doing as many blog posts recently. I hope to write a bit more from now though. I’ve not been as busy this week because of the weather but I’ve still had a lovely time. There have definitely been a few […]
MoreA rambly wobble – 1 week after discharge.
Hello lovely people. Long time no post. I thought I would give you all an update now that it has officially been over 1 week since discharge! Time really has flown by but hospital seems like a lifetime ago. I’ve had an absolutely incredible week; I’ve been on dog walks, done yoga in the sunshine, […]

Nineteen life lessons for nineteen years.
Hey! Thought I would do a post on 19 lessons I’ve learnt this year as tomorrow it’s my 19th birthday! Writing this post really made me reflect on how far I’ve come and I’m proud of myself. Although this year has been the hardest ever, and hopefully the hardest I will ever have, I’m glad […]
MoreOn Magic, Manifestation and Mind Chatter
Tonight I’ve been thinking and you know what? I believe in magic. I see it existing around me all the time. Although the tricks can be explained logically and by something really ordinary and boring, I’d rather not ruin the fun. I’m only now learning to accept the fact that most people fill their days […]
MoreLetting go, feeling queasy and learning to sing again.
Yesterday I realised I had forgotten how to sing. Now, I don’t mean singing as in opera, or even in any sort of tune, I mean just singing because you feel like it. Singing when you’re in the shower, in the car, or when a catchy song is stuck in your head. I hadn’t done […]
MoreHow joy and peanut butter are basically the same thing, plus the impermanence of living.
Evening lovely people. I was on my ground leave today and a wonderful thought came into my head. To enjoy something, you simply have to add joy to that thing. Joy is therefore the same as peanut butter – add it to anything and it will be a million times better than it was before. […]
