Inner Safety

The Scarlet B Posted on July 5, 2015 by RaeynJuly 5, 2015

Mental Health and the Mommy Wars

The Scarlet B Posted on April 3, 2015 by RaeynApril 3, 2015

Dear Daughter, Here’s Why I Don’t Work Dear Daughter, Here’s Why I Work Gah. When I was pregnant with my first child, I made a conscious decision to avoid parent-to-be boards. Being mentally ill and chronically low on spoons, I … Continue reading →

It’s Time to Talk

The Scarlet B Posted on February 5, 2015 by RaeynFebruary 5, 2015

Today is Time to Talk day in the United Kingdom. The idea is to take five minutes out of one’s day to talk about mental health, whether it be to do some lovely stigma-busting, or to just take some time … Continue reading →

My Illness is Not a Plot Point

The Scarlet B Posted on May 31, 2014 by RaeynMay 31, 2014

I have noticed an increase in shows using bipolar characters in storylines. Great, right? Anything to show the truth of the disorder, right? It all raises awareness…. right?! Yeah, except they all seem to be dramas. Mind, I don’t like … Continue reading →

Slowly, Slowly Onwards

The Scarlet B Posted on May 19, 2014 by RaeynMay 19, 2014

I’m at home today. That’s often the case, especially at this rather late stage of pregnancy. We’re in the last month, woo! A few more days, and I’ll be absolutely and fully cleared for home birth, which is a relief. … Continue reading →

What, Again?!

The Scarlet B Posted on January 31, 2014 by RaeynJanuary 31, 2014

Maybe it’s just me, but often? It feels like having bipolar (or any other sort of invisible illness) is a lot like being on trial forever. You’re on the stand, over and over again, repeating the same damned thing to … Continue reading →

It’s Just Another Day

The Scarlet B Posted on January 1, 2014 by RaeynJanuary 1, 2014

In January, no less. I don’t subscribe to the whole resolution thing. The popular ones are all supposedly about ‘self-improvement’, and more often than not these days, about ‘losing weight to get healthy’. Me, I’m a firm supporter of the … Continue reading →

The Scarlet B Posted on June 27, 2013 by RaeynJune 27, 2013
