I wrote a book

Hi. If you follow me then you’ll know I write about mental health and my experience with mental illness. And now I’ve written a book about it called That’s Mental: Painfully Funny Things That Drive Me Crazy About Being Mentally Ill. If you’ve ever liked anything I’ve written then I hope you can check it out. It’s funny, sad, raw, and all the things. I hope it makes you laugh and cry but most of all, I hope it makes you feel less alone.

Mother Material

I gave birth to my daughter three weeks ago, but she doesn’t feel like my daughter. I don’t feel like a mum, I feel like some person who loves this baby so much. Like an overly zealous babysitter. Like I’m looking after her until her real mum turns up. People…

I have a mental illness and here are some real dangers I pose to you.

Not returning your calls, texts, or DM’s but still posting online…a lot. Agreeing to meet up then bailing last minute because I have <insert fake yet serious-sounding physical ailment>. Taking medication and not being racist. Leaving your party without saying goodbye to anyone, unless there’s a pet, in which case…

What I Write About When I Write #AmWriting

A two line email containing five parentheses. Title for an empty google doc. A “breezy” DM to an ex. Filling out the “any other comments?” in an online form. A text with full grammar and punctuation. Nothing. Any tweet. Pros and cons list of what it would be like to date me. An entire novel…in a group chat. That pointy “S” you know the one. Reading. One bullet of a bullet journal. “Happy Birthday!” on three Facebook’s acquaintances’s walls.
