Back in 2014, I was obsessed with Brazilian jiu-jitsu. After several years of training, competing and leading the UCL Brazilian jiu-jitsu society, one of my jobs was to find coaches for our classes. It was through this role that I met Miles — a brilliant athlete, dependable, an amazing guy and always had a beaming […]

On 17 September, I made a choice. Waking up from 15 hours of lost time, at a friend’s house, when I should’ve been home the day before. I had clarity. Enough. I’ve shared before a…

How did I only just find out that antidepressants can reduce dopamine? I might try and titrate off my Sertraline, as perhaps my lifelong depression was more about the lack of dopamine that ADHD gives me? (Yes I will be sensible, yes I will consult with a doctor)

Friends! Pals! Treasured work associates! Last month Mandy Brown wrote about how she struggled to quit her job and this bit hit me like a sledgehammer: “I...

This morning, on the final day of my holiday, I spent around two hours thinking through a way to auto-classify content on my blog, as part of a project to recommend tags to my posts. Most of my old …

A new shows there’s no clear evidence that depression is caused by abnormally low levels of serotonin in the brain.

My anxiety has started amping up again which in turns results in less and less quality sleep.... Over the years I've learnt counter measures to this so yesterday I made pasta - my go to anxiety buster.... I slept uninterrupted for 8hrs and feel so much calmer today

It has been one year since I accepted therapy and antidepressants. I should have done it much earlier, it would have improved my quality of life and allowed to start fixing root causes earlier. If you see signs of run out and depression, go to the specialist immediately 🙏

Burnout was months ago. I don’t know what *this* state is.

Remote for almost 2 years? Ain’t nobody tryin to work in an office ever again and deal with micro aggressions, shady ass coworkers, the person who wants to stand at your desk and gossip, interoffice politics, and commuting in the cold, NOPE

I just saw this “You’re not lazy, you only have a certain amount of energy and right now you are using it all to survive.” I don’t know who needs to hear that right now, but I know someone does

A reminder: People procrastinate. But if what you call "procrastinating" is wanting to start, not feeling able to, feeling a deep sense of both dread and shame as the thing simply EXISTS at you? That... might not be procrastination. That might be Executive Dysfunction.

Remote work manages to avoid certain uncomfortable social dynamics and I’m all for it. Cheers to minimizing inappropriate and uninvited comments about personal life, health, wellbeing, etc! 🥂

Thats what anxiety and depression feels like sometimes. Everything is great but you're on fire and trying to convince yourself everything is ok.. because it is, but you are just a mess.

It's okay to not be okay, my friends. This is a hard time of the year. One holiday season seven years ago, I was suicidal. I bottled it all in. The holidays are tough. Talk to someone you can vent at. Just vent. It's all okay.

This week I took medical leave from work to take care of my burnout / mental health. I lost my capacity to take care of myself and enjoy the things I love the most. Now even after one week, I can barely concentrate on anything, even if it was supposed to be “fun”. #burnout

Sometimes I wonder if 20 months of a pandemic has had a mental impact on us

As someone who does this quite often, they are not ignoring you. They are overwhelmed. They are forgetful. They are trying to figure out what it means to care for themselves and actually do it. They do not hate you. They, in fact, probably miss you.

Word of the day, on repeat, is ‘latibulate’ (17th century): to hide in a corner until the situation improves.

Word of the day is 'hingum-tringum' (19th-century Scots): feeble and barely presentable; just about hanging together.
