on July 1, 2020July 1, 2020 By raggedcult

Go on a date in the 21st Century, whether initiated online or in person, and it is a bloody minefield. Many of you will know this. I’ve always joked about writing a book about it. Frankly, I don’t really have the desire to give some of these cretins book space. Article space, on the other hand…too tempting to resist. Here’s a handful of some of my most spectacularly bad experiences; on dates and in relationships at best for laughs and at worst, to know you are not alone and we are in this madness together, people.

I Was Too Much ~ A Satirical Sermon for Women

on June 23, 2020June 23, 2020 By raggedcult

Today, I was too opinionated on the things that matter to me. I spoke up. I held my corner. I didn’t get ‘persuaded’ by the other point of view. As a result, I was spoken over, cut short, and told to stop being so hot-headed about it.

The Truth About Body Dysmorphia Disorder And Eating Disorders In The Intensity Of Lockdown

on June 17, 2020June 17, 2020 By raggedcult

The above is the official information we are given. In my own work and life, I’d say about half of the people I speak with share experiences about poor body image and body dysmorphia - once they know they are in a safe space to do so, where they will not be judged. My guess, and it is a guess, is that this stuff affects over 50% of the population.

The Music Industry Should Not Be Left Behind

For all the hardship which societies around the world are going through, health is not the only branch of life that has been devastated. Livelihoods and incomes have not escaped the destructive force of the virus either. With governments in many countries, including the UK, helping out those whose jobs have been affected by the pandemic, the self-employed have suffered hardship more than most, including musicians and the labour force of the music industry.

Messing With The Mind – My Experience of DBT

on January 16, 2019January 16, 2019 By raggedcult 2 Comments

For anyone who doesn't know, I suffer from one of the most difficult and stigmatised personality disorders, BPD. I still haven't fully got my head around it but I'm getting there. However, there isn't a cure for BPD; there isn't a pill for us to take. They can give you tablets (although good luck with that because it's an absolute nightmare) for the symptoms you have but not the actual illness.
