I'll be posting the link to grab this soon! 7 Steps is a beautiful pdf Anxiety workbook, designed by a warrior for a Warrior. So you’re ready to make changes to your life? I’ve spent a lifetime battling OCD, Anxiety & Depression. Now I’m ready to help you. I want to give you some of my favourite tips and techniques for getting in control of your brain. That’s why I decided to write: ‘7 Steps For Raising Your Vibes, A Guide To Living Your Life To The Fullest And Ditching The Anxiety’  This isn’t a cure. This is a workbook based on what I’ve found most helpful over the years whilst I was suffering my most severe mental health challenges. I strongly believe and urge you to seek help from your local GP and Mental Health Team. However what I can offer you is real life support, guidance and perspective from someone who’s been to hell and back since the age of 11, when I was first diagnosed Obsessive Compulsive. From one Warrior To Another! ...

Oh how my life has changed since my last post! Firstly I cant believe how long it has been since my last blog.....over a month! That really speaks volumes about the changes that have been afoot in my life. In this past month I have started having Hypnotherapy, Ive been continuing with my psychology (which is nearly over) and we have gained a family member in the form of a pony! Yes a PONY!! Introducing Mouse ! ******************************************************************************************************** Psychology~ This time around has finally been focusing on the stuff behind my OCD and Depression.  The reasons why I am obsessive rather than just treating the OCD alone. I am truly finding it beneficial, I have waited years for a therapist to ask me the questions I have been asked and to invite me to look at things from a different perspective. I am learning the cycles of behaviour in my family both good and bad. The reasons we all react in the way we do ...

This week I've realised that I am NOT OK.... Im not ok, Im not ok, Im not ok, Im not ok, Im not ok, Im not ok, Im not ok. I may look ok to the outside world but I'm not ok. I may look like I've got my shit together, but, I'm not ok. I may have a wonderful Art business & just launched my new colouring pages, but, I'm not ok. I've got a wonderful fiance and two beautiful children, all of them I love more than myself. Im not ok. I've got a lovely home, living in a great area, opposite from my best friend,but, I'm not ok. It's ok to not be ok. It doesnt mean Im not entirely grateful for all of the great things and people in my life. The people in my life are wonderful, amazing and make me happy to be alive. They are the ones who help me get up each day, they give me strength to push forward when I'm not ok. I'm still not ok though, OK? I'm still fighting a long battle in my head. I fight with myself about whether I c...

This is something that really gets on my nerves! I get so cross when I see it on tv, social media or in the 'real world' someone saying they 'are so OCD'! Gah! Why, oh why, do people feel its ok to use it as an adjective? I mean you and I know its not...right? You don't go around saying 'oh god i feel so bad, I'm totally cancerous' Nope you dont nobody says it!  'Oh my gosh Im soooo in an anaphylactic shock right now? ( my son is allergic to peanuts) Leukemic? Diabetic? Motor Neurone Diseased?  Nobody says these words as an adjective because...well, it's just plain rude and ignorant isn't it!? This is the kind of nonsense I see on social media ALL the time! I think one of the biggest culprits is... THE MEDIA. (Not all media, but sadly the most predominant offences are made by mainstream tv) It's the media's portrayal, I'm sure someone just started it for a laugh but what they've actually created is a Mo...
