The podcast is BACK and better. In this episode I'll be discussing where I've been, and how I got through a two year long depressive episode.
Make sure to give it a listen tysm 🙏❤️

People pointing out that I'm very intelligent as a way to negate the fact that I'm mentally ill feels incredibly backhanded even if it's meant to be a compliment. Like, no, I can't think my way out of mental illness by being intelligent. I wish I could but that's not a thing.
So this man was accused of rape and he decides to release texts that confirm the woman he raped was, in fact, too drunk to consent to sex and barely remembers what happened? Which … is rape.
Am I reading that right?
So I have had plenty of time to draft various episodes. What would you like to hear about next?
Bare in mind these are vague but the episodes will be back to chatty and fun despite often being heavy.
If you want to listen to something raw, honest and open when it comes to mental health/bipolar disorder I recommend listening to my episode on why I had to take a very long break.

This disorder isn't forgiving, it doesn't care for commitments and it won't stop so that you can keep on living. Appreciate all the listens so far, I'll be back recording once I move into my flat. I can't record at my dad's house 😅 too awkward.
Yes. Mania got me through year 1 and 2 of my degree, depression hit in my final year and I tanked it. It also prevented me being able to achieve my dreams of teaching abroad.
Genuine question guys
what’s a small win that felt huge to you recently?
Mine was decorating my new home despite being quite low and sad. I still did it.
Share yours with me!
Gone from that to that, even more has been done since. Had to spend a fortune on renovating this place as it was left in a disgusting state. Council expect people to live in that from the day they pick up there keys. Painting is now finished, flooring down this week and then I can move in.
Inheritance shouldn't count imo. My Grandad wouldn't have wanted me to survive off the inheritance he left me. If it was 100k i could maybe see an issue but 10k doesn't go far and then she's back to being poor and struggling. That money could be used to put her in a position where she never has to claim UC again.
@loopzoooop People who break rules should be punished. Rules are there for everyone, she shouldn't need as much benefits if she inherited £10k, if it falls below the £6k limit then she can inform them.
