Thoughts from the anxious mind of a wife, mother and one-time career girl
If you read my last post on whether or not it's possible to cure mental illness you'll know that, whilst I don't believe there's a cure right now, that doesn't mean there isn't hope. Is it possible for us to manage mental illness and still live just as happy and fulfilling a life as anyone... Continue Reading →
By now we're all well used to the vast divide that exists between the approach towards, understanding of and treatment of mental and physical health. In physical medicine (whilst I acknowledge it obviously has its own set of challenges) we have constant research, fundraising and the development of pioneering surgeries. But it seems, to me...

My anxiety has been particularly high the past few days and, as many of you will know yourselves, night-time can be the worst - when the distractions of the day are gone and you're trapped alone in the dark with your restless mind and endless thoughts. So I thought I'd share with you some tried... Continue Reading →
I've written before about how the weather changes my mood, but this year, I'd been dreading the changing seasons even more than usual. I felt the impending September like a lead weight, as the date was set for my first born baby to start school. I've been a stay at home Mum since he was... Continue Reading →

Hannah, like myself, struggles with her mental health and so understands just how important it is to take some time for yourself. So grab a cup of tea, relax and... Continue Reading →
I love food. Eating it, making it, watching every single cooking programme on TV - and immersing myself in cookbooks (every single time I cross Waterstone’s threshold, I need to talk myself down from spending that month’s mortgage payment on beautiful, hardback food bibles). Before kids, my husband and I would spend whole weekends... Continue Reading →
I had a little convo with a fellow anxious mind over on Instagram the other day about the differences in anxiety symptoms, and I really wanted to talk to you guys about it. Since starting My Anxious Life, I've shared my stories and read so many others, and we're all really starting to understand the... Continue Reading →
For those that haven't read Charlotte's guest blog - why not?! For those that did - I think we can all agree how brave she is to tell her story so openly. And today I am immensely proud to share with you another guest blog, in honour of Mental Health Foundation's Mental Health Awareness Week, from the... Continue Reading →
