Bad Cervical Screening Result
So yesterday before I went on my date, I was opening my post, to find a letter containing the results of my cervical smear (PAP) test results. The letter said that they had found evidence of a Human Papilloma Virus Infection (HPV) and dyskaryosis in some of the cells on my cervix. At first, when […]
Why is the National Health Service so bad?
I know I should be grateful that in this country we get free healthcare (although when you think about it it isn’t completely free as we pay for it through taxes) but I am starting to feel completely let down by the NHS. I had an appointment this afternoon with a psychiatrist but Karen the […]

An Open Letter
My eternal thanks go to Debbie at Healing from BPD for this letter. She has written down exactly how I feel, in a way I couldn’t possibly have been articulate enough to manage. She knocks the nail on the head so many times in so many different ways. I hope to give this to my […]
Oh boobies. *triggering*
So I had a rollercoaster of a day yesterday. For most of the day, spent at work, I was productive, got a lot of work done, walked to work and back in the sunshine instead of driving and felt generally good. I don’t think I have mentioned Simon (name changed) before – he is a […]
