Last night I did the unthinkable. I signed up for the list of clinicians willing to back into the National Health Service for at least the next six months. I haven’t done a blog for a while so appologies for that. I am good, in fact really good. The focus now on life is lookingContinue reading “BackStreet’s Back, Not Alright.”

Not again…
Yesterday I talked about the kindness campaign and essentially thinking before we tweet after the tragic passing of Caroline Flack. Today yet again another brother or sister in green, red or blue has died. The press release from West Midlands Fire Service states he was on duty when Firefighter Andrew Moore was found dead afterContinue reading “Not again…”
Socially Tweet Tweet
It’s 5 AM and for some reason I can’t sleep. I am feeling ok but I realise I am wearing my wife’s bathrobe, more comfy than mine and the pink shade suits me better. It has been announced last night that the television celebrity Caroline Flack has taken her own life. This news is obviouslyContinue reading “Socially Tweet Tweet”
Video Nasties & Football
The so called stiff upper lip I think is still in play, it may not be so obvious. In terms of X is going through a relationship Brakedown or Y is drinking a bit too much then us guys chat. Men will be Men; Boys will be Boys. We are told we never grow upContinue reading “Video Nasties & Football”
Lights, Camera….The Silk Scarf & Pretending to be a Tree.
I start this one with sharing a little surreal time at hospital this week. I was asked to be a tree. Yes a tree. I enjoy the am-dram thing and always felt I was an undiscovered talent who imagined myself shouting “Get out of Ma’ Pub” on Eastenders of such like. I therefore was excitedContinue reading “Lights, Camera….The Silk Scarf & Pretending to be a Tree.”
The Boss ( of me)
Sooooooooo firstly apologies I haven’t written for a while. This week I have been pretty well, I am starting to reduce the amount of flashbacks & nightmares. I even have a situation where I do get them but I am not scared or traumatised just “oh ok, that’s pants” My treatment at hospital is EDMR,Continue reading “The Boss ( of me)”
Jingle Bells, Batman Smells…
I haven’t written for a bit, this is due to the joys of the festive season. I have had the perfect Christmas. Family all together, eating lots of Turkey, farty ball sprouts and CAKKKKKE. The other thing that I had was depressions, lots of bloody depression. Now as you see from the start, I hadContinue reading “Jingle Bells, Batman Smells…”
Eyes wide Asleep….
This post will be slightly different as unlike the others I am in the present. I will continue the story of my treatment but I wanted to get down on paper, well on MacBook, how I am feeling right now. The feeling of sudden depression is something that most people I am sure will haveContinue reading “Eyes wide Asleep….”
The new job… Sit down / do what you are told…
Over my time of getting better and being in recovery I have had a constant theme running though and that is changing my core role. This is not about a job title but more my attitude and my position. If you ask most people in healthcare we have unwritten rules, one of those is IContinue reading “The new job… Sit down / do what you are told…”
Sit Down & Lets get D&M (Deep & Meaningful)
It came to the first day in the hospital. I was given a blue folder and sat in my first group session. The psychologist kept asking ‘why are you here?… How does that make you feeeeeeeeel?’ I got more and more cross at this constant barrage. I was sure he had read my notes. WhyContinue reading “Sit Down & Lets get D&M (Deep & Meaningful)”
