Things I’ve loved and learned in the few weeks… Body To Ground EP, Hollie Rogers God damn, this woman can sing. And write. I’m sort of biased because Drummer Boy, erm, drums for her, so I’ve been to a fair few of her gigs now, and she’s rehearsed in our studio (we say studio, you… Continue reading Sunday Seven, 14/05/17
Awareness is not enough
If like me, you spend most of your waking hours refreshing Twitter, on the look-out for cute puppy gifs, excellent puns and headlines to get outraged about, you’ll know that this week is Mental Health Awareness Week.

Taking prescribed, doctor-approved medication for an illness that largely affects one’s emotions as… Continue reading Jagged little pill

It’s been a while. December saw yet another move, to a new flat in Hove (home to yummy mummies and posh bakeries), and I lost a job and got a new one within the space of 48 hours (I wasn’t fired or anything). And of course there was Christmas, and New Year, a lot of… Continue reading Sunday Seven: 29/01/17
Mind vs. body
“What are you so stressed about?” pic.twitter.com/QqG7o7I18B — The Gay Burn Book (@SouthernHomo) November 7, 2016 I like to think I know a little bit about mental illness. Not much, but a bit. About some of the more common ones, anyway, like depression and anxiety. But until this week, I had no idea mental distress… Continue reading Mind vs. body
