Self Care – It’s so important right now

HealthBy AmandaDecember 10, 2020Leave a comment

This year has been pretty meh in a nutshell, and I am pretty certain that many of us, despite having had extra time at home, have not and are still not looking after ourselves correctly. There are obviously the group of people that used lockdown as an opportunity to get fit and healthy, physically and

My Dad, gaslighting and me

Health, Life, News & OpinionsBy BethDecember 7, 2020Leave a comment

*Trigger warning*  ‘You’ve been the victim of a narcissist and he’s been gaslighting you ever since you were small. It’s a game to him’. There was silence as I took in what the counsellor was telling me. All these years I thought there was something wrong with me and that I’d done something to make

7 Tips To Ease the 2020 Strain

Health, LifeBy Mel OwenNovember 27, 2020Leave a comment

We’ve all had a heavy year. Some heavier than others, but heavy, all the same. Whether you’ve lost a loved one, found yourself unemployed, been driven to despair by the boredom of lockdown or you’ve been shielding and resent those not taking the lockdown as seriously as you, the strain is feeling a bit much,

Sorry, I Can’t Come In To Work Today… I’ve Got My Period

HealthBy LexNovember 23, 2020Leave a comment

Well, there’s a line you’ve probably never said word-for-word on the phone to your boss. If you have suffered with particularly painful periods or related symptoms, you will probably have had to take time off, although just how honest you’ve been in admitting why may vary. A study by the British Medical Journal found that

A Covid Vaccine – A Glimmer Of Hope?

Health, News & OpinionsBy LucyNovember 17, 2020Leave a comment

Is there finally a glimmer of light at the end of a very dark tunnel? News filtered through this week that Pfizer and the German biotech company BioNTech have had brilliant results from their phase 3 trials of the vaccine and it proved to be 90% effective in terms of protection from the virus. I

The Long Road to a Diagnosis

HealthBy AnonymousNovember 17, 2020Leave a comment

It’s been 10 years since I picked up a nasty virus during my time at university, that made my cheeks and glands swell up so much that I looked like a hamster. I had all sorts of tests at the time… tests for mumps, glandular fever etc. But the doctors never got to the bottom

Adele addresses weight loss for the first time

Health, News & OpinionsBy Katrina | Real Girls WobbleNovember 9, 2020Leave a comment

  I have had it for years, “you look like someone famous”. If I had a £1 for every time someone said I looked like Adele on a night out, I’d be nearly as rich as her. Now she has lost an estimated 7 stone, which is my weight loss goal. She’s been pretty quiet

Lockdown 2.0 – The feeling of uncertainty and protecting our children

Health, LifeBy AmandaNovember 6, 2020Leave a comment

  I think we will all agree that the announcement from Boris on Halloween was not one that we weren’t expecting, but somehow just didn’t feel real. So many mixed emotions flying around, and the underlying question of “How did we end up here again?” The children can still go to school… huge sighs from

Becqui’s Experience of Miscarriage

Health, LifeBy BecquiJeanOctober 30, 2020Leave a comment

There’s been a lot of discussion regarding baby loss and miscarriage in the press lately; October marks Baby Loss Awareness Week, and celebrities such as Binky Felstead and Chrissy Teigen have openly and honestly spoken out about their experiences. However, particularly on social media, there was a backlash with online trolls slating the women for

What It Feels Like to Have a Tonic-Clonic Seizure

HealthBy thehappysistaOctober 29, 2020Leave a comment

Tonic-clonic seizures (a.k.a grand mal or generalised seizures) are awful and there is no getting used to them. You lose consciousness, fall to the floor and convulse. In my case, like many others, there is no warning and no identifiable trigger. It can be hard for people who haven’t experienced a seizure to really empathise
