So why does it feel so wrong when it's a mental illness day?
It feels even harder today, really wobbly about life because I've had it so good? weird I know. but my brain, like others, doesn't take extremes very well.

My psychology/relationship is a HISTORY. I loved learning about food on a scientific level. I loved the psychology around other people's food when I was a practicing nutritionist.
But this episode invites you into the world of Autistics Anonymous; the food edition. Autistic people tend to have a very specific relationship with food. because food is a science - there should be a logic based on biology.

house sharing is pretty much now completely normal (and almost) very expected when aged between 18+. I think house sharing (for anyone) but especially for autistic people is HARD! really and truly hard. Because home is the grounding space for a lot of our quirks and ways we need. It is a lot of pressure to have when living with strangers.

Let's talk about it. 2023-09-1924 minInside Voice with Martha's Mindtherapy - the world behind closed doorsI think therapy has been both glamorized and also demonized at the same time. I came in with no idea what to talk about, talking about therapy came natural. I've had a LOT of therapy in the past. Maybe it isnt spoken about enough. It should'nt be taboo, I also don't want to say how easy it is to go. It takes a lot of energy and you need to be emotionally ready.
Hope this episode gives insight into the world of therapy.

The dating doubts are so normal especially when you get used to someone being there. It's easy to slip into comfortability. I think the fact dating is so temporary means the eliment that change could resurface and therefore the fact your heart can feel exposed all of a sudden is really tough, espically in this capricious dating environment.

It can come in many forms of emotions. I wanted to do a trigger episode/ an intro to it. It can be a very hard topic. One that maybe you arent ready for, because I wasn't ready to hear pain when I was very early on in my grieving journey. You can find peace to talk about it. I know that...2023-08-2205 minInside Voice with Martha's Mindmisconceptions around mental health conditionsbecause if it's a misconception that means we still don't really have a clear concept of what it means to have a condition that is completely mental.

Spoken August 20232023-08-1800 minInside Voice with Martha's Mindhow helpful is self-diagnosing?A little debate came about when my friend messaged me about how helpful is it when people just 'label' themselves a mental health condition without outsourcing with a professional. I liked this topic because it makes mental health a societal issue 0 when is it? Or is it merely about the individual who needs a label for self-acceptance and understanding
BLOG - www.marthasmind.co.uk2023-08-1129 minInside Voice with Martha's MindGrieving My Own Path - blog post readFirst written in June 2020. My experience with grief was first death, was incredibly tough and unlike most deaths. It was accidental. For my dad, for us as a family, and came far too soon.
I wrote this because how I was experiencing the waves of emotions when dad was visiting in my head became easier to verbalise and share when it felt like dad was either coming to take a seat at the table, or he was passing by with a smile. 2023-08-0804 minInside Voice with Martha's Mindhow to feel okay about restarting life and having career failureslet's say one thing loud, it's totally okay if you don't know what you want to do right now! It's okay if you have tried to go down a career you thought would be right for you. It wasn't. If you need to hear someone go through the weird journey of getting lost... then listen hear. 2023-08-0429 minInside Voice with Martha's Mindbad head days are about surviving - ugly real talks about bad mental health daysI spoke completely with passion and also anger to some extent. I am sick of being told that on bad mental health days, we should do X, Y, and Z??!!! I think the harsh and actual reality is - no, We exist. We survive. We do the path of least resistance in order to simply make it through. Is it giving up? Allowing your day to be swallowed? I think again, the reality of someone who actually suffers from anxiety or depression will understand that; our heads do rule us (sometimes). And we have to sit with it. Because...2023-08-0221 minInside Voice with Martha's Minddating check-ins, friendships and insecurities - the check in episodeThis episode I wanted to be like my own personal check-in.

In today's episode, I discuss a few things that I struggled with on my trip. From falling in love temporarily to awkward times in hostels. Enjoy the realities of travel.
I also understand how privileged I am to travel and in NO WAY slate how lucky I am - I had (for the most part) a wonderful time, and it's okay to say I struggled as well.2023-07-1424 minInside Voice with Martha's Mindeating disorders and exercise obsessioneating disorders and exercise obsessions - I talk through my story of eating disorder orthorexia and exercise obsession and how this then transcended into developing BED.
I currently still struggling with BED (binge eating disorder). I have only told about 4 people in my life that I struggle with this eating disorder. It has affected me for over 5 years. My mental health battles mostly stem from my recovery and setbacks with this disorder. I am still recovering. It's been a really hard journey for me. And it scares me so much to...2023-07-1052 minInside Voice with Martha's Mindthe simple pleasure and winsmental health is really about good mental health practices. I think we all know that the people who are constantly praising life itself are (yawn) tiring folk, but there is something to be said about celebrating the tiny wins of every day. mental battles are easy to feel, and might be harder to appreciate when life throws you constant tiny little wins that maybe we don't see as often.
Some of my wins of life - which haven't come easy to feel, may I add. the cups of tea moments, the over-hearing of some...2023-07-0228 minInside Voice with Martha's Mindbut you don't look autistic?If you have ever disclosed a mental health symptom/ diagnosis with someone and heard the phrase ... 'but you don't look X' - then you understand entirely.
This is a BIG chat about my autistic journey. I really want to help break this notion that to be autistic you have to look/ act a certain way. You don't!
I used to have a lot of shame admitting I am autistic in fear of how others react, but this is a HUGE part of me. No, it doesn't define me. I am a whole person with many...2023-06-2637 minInside Voice with Martha's Mindmessy but here I am; the start of inside voiceIn this episode I talk about;
