Me, Myself and I
Whilst there is an ADHD creature (BTW), I didn t feel that they represented my experience of ADHD so I made a new one. Meet Buzz! Buzz the Busy Octopod Buzz the Busy Octopod Buzz was a little octopod with eight arms, two big eyes, and one very busy brain. Every day, Buzz had lots...

Yeah, so turns out I have ADHD I did a couple of videos talking about that and also how my first couple of weeks on Elvanse have been so far.

I have anxiety and depression (and dyslexia and am waiting for an ADHD assessment, if we are counting!). I ve had both for a long time. No trauma, or sad backstory, It s just the way I m wired; it runs in my family. Over the years, I ve had ups and downs, some more severe than others, all...

Should. A terrible word for your mental health. I should be a rockstar by now. I should have learned French, I should get a promotion, I should be a millionaire. We often say things like this, an odd sense of entitlement to something that never was. Because of this, we rarely stop to ask why...

This is a weird one. When you are depressed you often start to sabotage your own chances of escaping from depression! What do I mean by self-sabotage?

Just a quick one. A while back, working with my daughter, I made a video ) soundscape that conveyed how it felt when she was having an anxiety attack. I wanted to share it here, but also warn you that it can be a touch triggering for some. Of course it s not how everyone feels...

Hi all. This is the new home for my more personal blogs about my life, mental health, family and so on I wanted to keep it separate from my gamification content from now on!

I m dyslexic. I was diagnosed 30 or more years ago. So I say with all respect, stop calling Dyslexia a superpower. It belittles glamourises a condition that is, to many, crippling and leads to terrible anxiety and self-esteem issues. When I was young, I was labelled stupid by my school. In fact, my maths...
