Oh no absolutely not! As much as I'd love to know what is going on in someone's head I also value my own sanity and being able to switch off from other people's thoughts and concerns is key to that!

If you owned a restaurant, what kind of food would you serve?

August 14, 2021

I'd probably do traditional British dishes with fresh, local ingredients. I'd also like to make sure each menu item has a vegan option and a gluten free option so there is plenty of choice for those with different needs or preferences.

Is there a subject you're especially knowledgable about? You mind saying something you know relating to that which you think most other people don't know? 🧠🤯

August 11, 2021

I really like the biology of mental health. It's really powerful for breaking down the stigma of mental health not being a 'real' thing. It also helps people to engage with treatment when they understand why and how the techniques are going to work.

I'm currently really interested in breath work. Lots of people with anxiety are told "just breathe" and feel they are being fobbed off. But breath is such a powerful tool when understood and utilised properly. Most people know that when they are anxious and think there is danger their heart rate increases and they breathe faster and that this is part of the "fight or flight" stress response. However, what is not commonly taught is that this mechanism is two-way. So how we breathe also signals back to our brains if danger is present. Therefore slowing down breathing (or even maintaining relaxed posture!) can tell our brains that there is no danger. This in turn activates the opposite side of the nervous system which switches off fight or flight and anxiety symptoms.

In short, we aren't victims of our brains but if we experience trauma or stress we can be more prone to false alarms where we think we are in danger and we are not. This triggers a protective response which we experience as anxiety. But we can talk back and tell our bodies it is a false alarm very effectively with our breath!

I find that amazing and I wish I had understood why I kept being given breathing exercises for my anxiety. What they failed to explain to me was why and how this could help - and when to use it!

Sorry for the long answer!!

If you disagree with someone does it mean they are wrong?

August 11, 2021

It means I *think* they are wrong which is different from them being wrong. Opinions are not facts and can change so if their argument is good enough I may begin to agree with them. But that still wouldn't make us right!

Do you know which mental illness is associated with when a person voices aloud internal conversations with imaginary or non-present people? Or enacts situation that is going on in their mind?

August 07, 2021

I'm not a psychiatrist so not trained to diagnose mental illness. What I would say is that diagnosis requires a proper assessment as some symptoms can be present in lots of different disorders, or the frequency/intensity or other details can also be relevant. To add to this we're all individuals so two people with the same diagnosis can describe or experience it differently or with a different combination of symptoms.

I'd definitely advise seeing a psych if you need diagnosis but if you can't get access you can look up diagnostic criteria in the DSM (which is what they use to diagnose) - this is the link to a free pdf (can be slow to load!) but as you will see it is complex so do seek professional help if you can. https://documentcloud.adobe.com/link/track?uri=urn%3Aaaid%3Ascds%3AUS%3A907fa51f-b6cb-494c-95b1-5cacf626fc55#pageNum=1

Do you like to swim? How long can you splash around in the lake / sea?

August 04, 2021

I love swimming! I can spend hours in the pool or the sea. I'm by no means a serious swimmer: sometimes I'll just doggy-paddle, float around or tread water!

I just like how it feels in water and I feel really at one with it somehow. I'll even take my shoes off and paddle in puddles when it rains!

I continue to be cautious, especially as I do some shifts at a hospital. For me it is too soon after restrictions were relaxed (I'm in the UK) to tell what effect this will have. If there isn't a huge spike in cases in the next few weeks, or if this doesn't translate to increased hospital admission or deaths then I will consider myself cautiously optimistic!

Do you ever take baths? What makes a good bath according to you? Do you do anything to make it more pleasant? 🛀🌸

August 04, 2021

I nearly always take baths over showers, it's a major self care time for me. I love bath bombs / melts which make the water a nice colour and listening to nature sounds. I hate getting dry though so I tend to lay out my towel on my bed and then chill longer while I air dry 😌
