Who am I?

Making a batik in Bali
I'm just a normal person, who happens to like writing.


I used to self-harm (a lot) and spent many, many years feeling extremely depressed. I didn't take pills to make myself better - I wrote.


I'm now working on the final format of my book on depression, which will be self-published on Amazon as an eBook. For this reason, I decided that I probably should invest in an eBook reader - my first few posts are all about that.


I live with my husband and two cats, in a rented house in Middlesex. We both dream of moving to our own place, and I would particularly like a cellar (to store lemonade!) 


You may already know some other things about me. I speak quite freely about depression and self-harm, and have already done many interviews on the subject. You can find some of them online here: - BBC3The ObserverWomanBizarreThe SunStyle, and Today
