Confessional: I am a stress baker Yes, I am a stress baker. I am a baker too, but during times of stress, baking becomes not just a functional means of providing food and sweet treats for those around me, but a way to control my life and create a sense […]
Today I feel really sad. I went off to work on a day when many are already either self-quarantined or practicing social distancing, terms which have fast become part of our language the past week or so. I work in a school so whether or not I got to work […]
Anxiety is something that we all feel and it comes from our caveman brain. It is natural to feel it. It is a good thing and it keeps us safe from danger and helps us to problem solve. But for some anxiety can take over and it can become an […]
Ever since May said that she was going to do her Food Matters series, I have been thinking about what to write. I have so much to say, you see. Food has been such a huge focus of my life. It has shaped me in so many ways, mentally and […]
Currently the prompt for SB4MH is to choose the most popular post you have written for the meme. I have been blogging about mental health for a while and when I went back through all of those I had written, the most read post in my Mental Health category was […]

The biggest challenge to my mental health is control. Ironic for a submissive who has relinquished control of a number aspects of my life that this should be the case. Or perhaps, it is not an irony after all. Perhaps it makes a lot of sense and perhaps the requirement […]
So it turned out that I took a break from writing posts last week. This was not planned, it just sort of happened. But it has made me think, once I got over my feeling of guilt that is. And that is it! Why was I feeling guilty about something […]
I am always interested in mental health and emotional well-being and so I wanted to write a post for the Food For Thought Friday prompt this week. I do feel a little fraudulent, however, as I am fortunate that I don’t suffer from depression, so I did hesitate about posting […]

So today marks the end of 30 Day Orgasm Fun, the challenge set by the lovely Tabitha Rayne. I explained in my post 30 Day Orgasm Fun – First Thoughts that I wondered how I would manage with the challenge. I had three considerations which I reviewed in the update, 30 Day Orgasm […]
April here we come! As is often the case, I like to set myself a challenge now and then and the start of the holidays is always a good time for me as I usually have more time than during the term and so sign myself up to take on […]
Tomorrow is World Metal Health day so I wanted to take a minute just to raise awareness for that. At work we are saying hello yellow by wearing a ‘touch of yellow’ in order to highlight this as there are growing numbers of young people in schools who are managing […]
