It's 1.45 a.m., and I can't sleep. Tomorrow is the start of semester 5. I figured might as well do something productive since sleeping feels impossible. This semester is the professional exam semester before I enter the clinical years [...]
. I woke up yesterday feeling a little grumpy and down for no particular reason. But I was determined to not let it ruin my entire day. With this in mind, I turned to one of my favorite things ever – a list – and wrote down a few things that could help me snap [...]
I’m currently hiding from the rain, moving from one cup of tea to the next. I thought I would cheer myself up by writing a few things I am happy about this month.
I love a busy weekend full of plans but I equally, if not more so, enjoy a cosy weekend at home. Once in a while it’s nice to have nothing to do and just recharge for the weeks ahead. However, it just doesn’t happen often enough! I find it really hard to sit back, relax and take time off so I’ve put together a weekend to do list to fill my mind with ideas.

Hey hey heyyy... Here is this month instalment of the mental health series. I think I should name the instalments so it'd be easier for people to find them, because if you're a keen reader of this space, you'd know that sometimes I write about...absolute rubbish. 🤣 . Mental illness can seem a lonely place [...]
Dear Anxiety, You've been playing mind games with me for the past 4 years now and I am more than done with you. I want you gone...forever. Because of that, I am trying harder than ever to beat you. And eventually, I will. Some days are worse than others and I try to ignore [...]
I feel as if I haven't written anything about anxiety in a long time. To be honest, I've been feeling better. I guess the EMDR therapy works after all! 😅 However, I don't want to put my hopes too high. 😕 If it gets better, it gets better. . Hmm.. Let's begin. When I was [...]
