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 raise a cuppa and a big smile to not drinking
It’s time to make a change
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
