I’ll start off by apologising, because I’m going to get bitchy. As someone who’s a bit of a slave to their emotions I do enjoy a good bitchy rant, so if I’m being completely honest I’m not really sorry. But, eh, I’ll be nice. I am not depressed. I do not have depression. … Continue reading I Am Not Depressed
Settle in, kids! It’s time to get educated! I’ve had a few reactions to my blog and I’m fortunate enough that they’ve all been good. They are usually well-wishes or pieces of advice which I genuinely believe come from a place of kindness and helpfulness. You should all know that I’m thankful for these. … Continue reading I Am Already Better
I’m fortunate enough to have been employed by a few people who took into account my ridiculous brain and asked me how best they could deal with it. What could they do to help? What could be avoided?

This, as with most things my brain … Continue reading Keys, Phone, Wallet…
Despite my ridiculous brain, I’m quite high functioning. People meet me and think I’m weird but often it’s chalked up to quirkiness. Not many realise that I am actually quite insane. It’s true, I’m a master of deception. When it comes to appearing sane, I have two main issues: a hyperactive imagination and incredibly … Continue reading The Night the Moon Came Down
None of you asked for this, and although I know you must care on some vague level (why else are you reading this?) it seems somewhat self-indulgent to write an entire blog post, on my very own blog, about WHY I started writing this blog. Surely this is what an author bio is for, right? … Continue reading Why Are We Even Here
