At the moment, everything in my life is going as well as it could be. I have almost finished the first year of my degree without a hitch (second to last class of the year today) and I’ve got my...
I’m back! Well, I’ve been back for a few days now, but after getting home around midnight on Wednesday I had to spend all day Thursday at college, and yesterday I pretty much just lay aro...
I have things to say, but apparently no time in which to say them. I’ve been working hard on my last couple of assignments for this year at college and in a couple of hours I’m off to Sco...
The Cass Identity Model states that there are six stages to identifying and coming out as one or more of LGBTQ, namely identity confusion, comparison, tolerance, acceptance, pride and synthesis. As w...
I hate the term “frape”, defined as the changing of another person’s Facebook status or profile without their knowledge. This is a frustrating thing to hate for a couple of reasons,...
Way back in the depths of November I approached a local charity which offers free counselling for survivors of rape and abuse. At the time I was assessed I was mostly concerned with the impact of the...
So I know I’m posting this on a Tuesday, and also that these are photographs from Easter weekend, thus negating the whole point of photograph of the *week*, but the backlog was getting a bit ov...
Good news: I have new hair. It is awesome. And here is the build up to the potentially not-so-good news, depending on whether you think I am as awesome as my hair or are not really all that bothered....
On Saturday morning I heard that my old singing teacher Joanne had died the night before. It’s been over ten years since I last saw her, so I didn’t think I was particularly affected beyo...
Or: What I get up to when I have an essay due in next Thursday. Conversation from Facebook is reproduced exactly as it happened, except for the deletion of surnames and *likes* ******* Charlotte shar...
I’m not really one for shopping. In the last six months I’ve only bought a cardigan (from the M&S outlet store near my house) and a pair of jeans (from Asda – classy!) after my ...
My camera hasn’t actually been out since my mum and sister were here two weekends ago – the horror! But since I have yet to put those pictures up, you’ll have to imagine I took thes...
One of my favourite talks at EDIC was a sprint though the role of food in eating disorders by Professor Andrew Hill. He began by addressing the infamous cliché attached to eating disorder awareness r...
This is the very first time in three years of blogging that I’ve accepted a request to promote/share something on my blog, and that is because the request came from my lovely friend June Alexan...
Despite being between jobs at the moment I still seem to be incapable of completing my to-do list. Why is this?! I guess I have been either really busy or really ill for the whole of March, so I shou...
I’m freaking amazing at managing my anxiety these days. Over the last couple of weeks in particular it has become obvious just how skillful I’ve grown after more than twenty years of havi...
The EDIC reports are coming – I have a post on diagnosis to finish after a long geeky discussion on Facebook with Extra Long Tail, currently at eighty comments and counting, one on nutrition an...
I grew up in a small seaside town with a population of about 10,000. The first time I visited London – population 7.2 million – I was seventeen and running away, although from what I couldn’t r...
So apparently I’m only updating my blog once a week at the moment. I don’t know what to blame that on, so I will just accept that this is the case! I think I’m still burnt out after...
I have been conspicuous only by my absence for the last week! This is because I had an essay to try (and fail) to complete before going to the Inter-Varsity Folk Dance Festival in Aberdeen on Friday....
Sooo. So. I should be writing an essay for college, which means instead I have sorted through my wardrobe, colour coordinated my t-shirt and underwear drawers, made pineapple upside down cake, commen...
If I close my eyes for a minute, I could almost believe I was still in York. The sun streams through my bedroom window here in Newcastle all morning, so that even when it’s freezing outside, my...
Today is the first day of Eating Disorders Awareness Week in the UK. Every year I wonder why beat (who host EDAW here) and NEDA (the parallel organisation in the USA) don’t team up and hold the...
I have tonsillitis. I haven’t had “WTF is that on my tonsils”-itis for about twenty years. But it is okay, because Audrey made me Battenberg cake. I LOVE Battenberg, but the commerc...
It’s Monday! I am getting a bit lax with my POTW Photograph of the week, February 6th – 12th: Yes, it is a photo of my bridge! I know I’ve obsessed over the bridge quite enough alre...
As many of you might have extrapolated from Facebook, the second post I intended to write for the third birthday of my blog on Tuesday got a little waylaid. I finally sent that email to my mum, and s...
Today is February 7th, 2012. Today I am phoning people and filling in forms regarding my new state of unemployment, sending a “coming out” email to my mum because I have reached the limit...
This has to be the epically lazy edition – I haven’t posted all week, since my last POTW! There are quite a few things I could say, but it’s been one of those weeks where the words ...
I was busy over the weekend and didn’t get a chance to upload my most recent photos! These were all taken during one walk from Whitley Bay to North Shields Photograph of the week, January 23rd ...
Jess kindly tagged me in the “11 things” survey over the weekend, and since I am supposed to be writing an assignment right now I thought I should take part ASAP! Anyway, I do like a bit ...
