Hypersensitivities

I've noticed that other people don't always notice when there's something crawling on them, like a fly? That some people can actually put up with it, or not even notice it? Well I just saw a person on TV with a fly crawling all over their upturned palm whilst they continued what they were doing. … Continue reading Hypersensitivities →

Beaten Down

In the beginning blogging helped a lotIn the beginning Sertraline medication helped a lotIn the beginning self-practised ERP therapy helped a lot They all still help but I ran out of 'fresh starts' from too many drastic changes of circumstancesI'm worn out and can't go any further without intervention from the psychologistAnd having all the … Continue reading Beaten Down →

Limits To Twitter

Careful not to confuse TwitterWith the internet or physical technology themselves;It's not Twitter that 'democratises' information—That was the internet and handheld technology; We are not beholden to a single private company for any of these thingsAnd perhaps it should be questioned why Twitter became so freely, exclusivelyEmbedded into our daily news articles in the first … Continue reading Limits To Twitter →

Ashley P

Or Ashley Leia as I knew her. It was a shock to find out the other day that she's died, and that her large amount of output has come to an end. We weren't in contact for the last 18 months due to a random falling out one time, which I think was just caused … Continue reading Ashley P →

Remote Therapy

Our staff have been able to see more clients as there is … Continue reading Remote Therapy →

By A Thread

It is incredible to me that in the UK a large proportion of people (not just the most vulnerable or lowest-earning) are now in a situation where you can't easily drive a car, see a doctor, see a dentist, turn the heating on, get an ambulance in an emergency or use any other public services, … Continue reading By A Thread →

Thoughts On The Trip

That trip idea has caused me a real dilemma, like everything does when you're struggling with OCD, never mind mobility issues. I was feeling better knowing that I'd just cancel and not feel bad about it, if I needed to. I was occupied with the task of finding a psychologist. Now I've also learned that … Continue reading Thoughts On The Trip →

Contact With A Psychologist

Well it was definitely the right way to go, what I outlined about just making contact with a service which seems actually suitable to begin with. I found a psychology place (what do you call it?) nearby, which has a large team of psychologists. Some of them mention OCD in their profiles, and a few … Continue reading Contact With A Psychologist →

Economics Of Empathy

"Buy cheap, buy twice" has always been something I've lived by. I'd rather have something suitable and buy it once or not have it at all. So I should be doing the same when it comes to therapy. Whether or not it proves to be feasible, the options should only ever be: the good quality, … Continue reading Economics Of Empathy →
