    Hello world!

    Hello world!

    Hello world! I have decided to change the topic of my blog. If before it was focused on me trying to write poetry, now it will be focused on my direct experiences around topics of mental wellbeing. Why? As I am affected by a mental illness, namely depression, I would like to be useful and […]

    The diary of a student welfare intern – 2

    The diary of a student welfare intern – 2

    Last few weeks were all about exams and invigilating students. I got chosen to invigilate a student who required a special chair and a special desk in order to sit comfortably and write their exam. There was, however, an inconvenience, as the special chair that had been ordered for them had not arrived yet. Instead, […]

    Wanting to call home

    Wanting to call home

    The other day I picked up the phone to call my mum, like thousands of times before, but my feeling was different. I wanted to call her. In the past I mostly called her because she was pressing me to do so, tapping into my sense of guilty. “You never call”, “when we call you […]

    The diary of a student welfare intern – 1

    I got the opportunity for a job in a university, and I am in the team which, as a friend of mine put it, “carries on the students’ lives”. It is a rewarding job, as I get to help students with queries which are often related to psychological distress. It is not an easy job, […]

    Emotional lessons

    Emotional lessons

    As a kid I grew up with two parents which had not be able to take care of themselves. This resulted in me assimilating some bad habits. My mum has never recovered completely since the divorce. She needed affection, and she put it on me. “Do you love me? Why do you never hug me? […]

    Iceland trip

    Iceland trip

    I came back from Iceland on Monday and I still have the blues. I love cold places, I love snow and ice, I love mountains and those nights so dark you can see the milky way. And in Iceland I saw all of this. Wanna know how I travelled? Here’s my story! We followed an […]

    Grandma died

    Grandma died

    Grandma died peacefully during her sleep. I am going to her funeral today. My mum said she doesn’t have any more reason to live. I pointed out I’m here. She said I am abroad so it does not count. I felt pain. She will never change. Image credits

    The nightmare goes on

    Tonight to go to a place in which we celebrate my best friend’s birthday I had to pass in front of the house in which the person who touched me when I was little lives. I talk about that trauma in this post. It happened in that house. I almost cried, but I didn’t. I […]

    You are too fat to talk about anything else

    You are too fat to talk about anything else

    My dad welcomed me in Italy with “Are you pregnant?” Not even hi before. My mum said that it’s normal that other girls were jealous of me when I was younger, as I was skinny. My dad looked at me and said “no” My dad told me he wants a detailed plan for me to […]

    No milk for you

    No milk for you

    Today I woke up at my dad’s house and there wasn’t any milk to have breakfast with. It is a normal thing, as my dad is not what you can define a house person. He eats out with his friends lunch and dinner. If there’s no stuff for breakfast he skips it. I told him […]

    Book review – The opposite of butterfly hunting by Evanna Lynch

    Book review – The opposite of butterfly hunting by Evanna Lynch

    As a great fan of Harry Potter and cosplayer of Luna Lovegood, I could not avoid reading this book. And it was a good idea! Evanna writes about her anorexia in a honest, compelling manner, and I love to read honesty when it comes to mental illnesses. It’s too easy to go google remedies for […]
