Well, this is a kind of farewell to this site, which has been my pride and joy over the last year. There have been 165 posts on this blog since December 2009, and I am humbled by all of the comments, support and encouragement.
In many ways, I first started the ...

It is fair to say that I had a ‘wobble’ last night, something which was always predictable over the holiday period, and which is now hopefully passed allowing the opportunity to enjoy the special Holiday Season ahead.

I first wrote excerpts of this post some 12 months ago in the days leading up to Christmas 2009. At that stage, grief was still very raw, barely 4 weeks since the passing of my dear fiancée Danielle. However, even now, so much of it rings true when I think ...

When I initially setup the site, there was no doubt that I saw it as a means of healing, ...

Thankfully, the time for talking is almost complete. Since August 24, 2009, the day after England regained The Ashes by defeating Australia at The Oval, the media and the public have built up this series to previously unseen levels of hype, regardless of the fact that these sides are currently ...

There is so much said and written about depression, much of which is very helpful and positive, but some of which borders on ignorant and contemptible. I have, myself, spoken of symptoms, treatments and staid attitudes, and have made specific reference to recognition of trigger points, those likely to disruptively ...

As a keen mathematician at school, there was precious room for any notions of ambiguity. Quite simply, whatever the combination of x and y, there had to be a conclusive answer at the end of it. Ironic then it is that I would end up a first class honours graduate ...

Depression is an overused term, sadly so for many that suffer from this highly misunderstood and often maligned illness. As someone who did suffer over a significant period of my own life, I think that it is so important to understand the implications that it can have on the lives ...
