Self-loathing and bipolar.
Where does it come from? Why can we feel invincible one moment and like absolute shit the next? I’ve felt like this for as long as I can remember. One day I’d be the class clown, making everyone laugh. The next, I wouldn’t even show up to school. It’s always been one extreme or the…

Hypersexuality and Bipolar Disorder.
It’s World Bipolar Day again, yet conversations about hypersexuality remain scarce. What sets it off? Is it rooted in Bipolar Disorder itself? Is it the result of repeated trauma, such as sexual assault and rape? Or are some of us simply predisposed to it, like a ticking time bomb waiting to go off? Maybe it’s…

Sociopath: The Pathologisation of Women Under Patriarchy
I feel like I keep saying the same thing, but I’m not sure people truly understand why the patriarchy pathologise individuals. As many of you know, I’ve been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and Antisocial Personality Disorder. In other words, I’ve been labeled a sociopath with a mood disorder on top. However, I challenge this diagnosis…

Politely F**k Off!
I think I’m too wild for this world of hypocrisy. I have strong opinions, and a lot of people don’t like that. Last night at the pub, a guy overheard my conversation and decided to tell me that I should be grateful to a certain person because of what he did for “those girls”. That…

Bottom of the Barrel.
People use the term “working class,” but growing up, I didn’t even feel like working class. I felt worse, like I was at the very bottom of the barrel. A junkie’s rejected daughter, My mum and stepdad never worked (until later in life), they claimed benefits for as long as I can remember. Even though…

Bipolar Novelty: Is It Just Me?
Does anyone else experience something I like to call “bipolar novelty”? For me, everything feels novel at first, but I’m never sure if that’s a bipolar thing or just one of my antisocial tendencies. I’m the type of person who, once I decide I want something, I get it. The strange part? As soon as…

Fuck off, Karen.
“Be grateful”? VOM. 🤮 Listen, Karen! When I’m having a moan on the internet the last thing I need to hear is “Be Grateful” I am grateful, KAREN. That’s exactly why I’ve managed to build the life I have, holding it together for my kids. Trust me, ending up in the gutter with a drug…

Northerner in the South: The local stabber.
Since I was 21, I’ve been that unmistakable northerner in the south. Never lost my accent in fact, I clung to it harder. It wasn’t just about where I came from; it was my way of saying, you’re not changing me. My ex moved me down there, away from work, friends, and family. Isolation was…

The Void.
Happiness. It’s a word thrown around so casually that it almost feels like a finish line we’re all expected to cross. People ask, “Are you happy now?” as if once you say yes, you’ve conquered life, as if it’s the final destination on this twisted, uneven road we’re all walking. But what is happiness, really?…

A Brief Summary of My Life.
I’m a child of the 80s, and while neon leg warmers and big hair were all the rage, my early years were anything but typical. Abandoned before I could even walk, I was adopted at six months old by the same lady that adopted my mother. My formative years were spent shuttling between church pews…

Trauma.
I have long intended to start blogging and vlogging, but the past six years have brought a series of profound challenges. A significant move away from London marked the beginning of another crazy period in my life, including a two-year legal battle with my ex-partner following his assault on yet, another woman. This period was…
