AMJ Blog
I have been writing a blog for some time. I use it to share my experiences and views on mental health – I had a breakdown in 2014/15 and live with depression and anxiety – and work life balance. I am passionate about working on my wellbeing and helping others to achieve and maintain the right work life balance and wellbeing approaches for them. My blog – along with my Twitter feed – comes with one health warning – if you read it you may have to hear about some of my other passions – my family, golf, Liverpool FC, communications, the Boston Red Sox, politics and the West Wing.

I really miss my daughter - and she's only been at school a few hours

My body, mind and the Two Ronnies

Being there when the laughing stops

I wish I’d been more mental heath aware before I hit the wall.

My birthday; my lockdown; my life after anti-depressants

Everything has changed utterly; we shouldn’t go back to business as usual

A week is a long time in a lockdown

Life goes on but it goes a lot better if I look after myself

Tough day; first big test post anti-depressants

A lecture on resilience

COVID-19: being at home helps my depression and anxiety but the daily news does not

COVID-19: what a time to come off my anti-depressants

The withdrawal method

Going away is no holiday for me

Talking often helps you spot what is staring you in the face

Philip Schofield, Frankie Bridge, you and me

Life is tough at the moment but that’s ok

Listening to what some people say about mental health, it’s no wonder I’m depressed!

Control freaks; dishwashers and Prince Harry
