This is a collaborative post. The Internet gets a terrible press these days. According to the papers, it’s responsible for all kinds of societal ills. From causing screen addiction through to Brexit. With all this going on it’s sometimes hard to remember that the world wide web came about as a way to help human progress and not to hinder it. However, once you get past all the marketing and bots that clutter up much of the information superhighway, there…

They seemed filled with wisdom and knowledge and a confidence I couldn’t imagine possessing.…
This is a collaborative post. Most of us consider asthma as something you either have or not. It’s one of those conditions we assume will be prevalent at birth. And, while we may worry about this for our kids, we don’t often consider that we could suffer ourselves. In fact, if we experience shortness of breath, we often consider it just another symptom of age. In reality, though, that isn’t always the case. It isn’t unusual for adults to develop…
This is a collaborative post. Sleep is a massive, vital part of our health. Many people consider the ability to exercise and diet, maybe even to meditate as one of the vital underpinnings of health.

Last year, I wrote a post for Mental Health Awareness Week claiming that I was going to start sharing my story of living with depression, beginning with my nervous breakdown and diagnosis. Yet, these posts never materialised. Writing your own tale of living with depression is…
