SUBSCRIBE TO THE WAYTHROUGH NEWSLETTER!!

A couple of months ago, I’m NOT Disordered reached the milestone of having 2.5 million readers and as a result of this, I put together a press release (I blogged about my advice on writing one of these, back in 2021 and you can read it here) and circulated it around my local and national news outlets. It’s resulted in a few features and the most recent, will be in the November issue (released November 28^th) of Waythrough’s newsletter: Coming Together and on speaking with the Communications and Marketing team, I had the idea to create this blog post promoting the newsletter because it’s actually not necessarily internal, anyone can subscribe (just click the link above or here!). In publicising it and having had numerous other appearances in the media, I thought I’d discuss how it feels to do this sort of work in the hope that it provides insight, and that budding Influencers or Bloggers feel more prepared in being offered or seeking publicity for their content creation…

YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE (WALKING ALONE) | GUEST POST BY MARTIN BAKER OF GUM ON MY SHOE | INTERNATIONAL MEN'S DAY 2025

You’ll never walk alone.

 

Liverpool Football Club motto

I’m grateful to Aimee for the opportunity to write this guest piece for International Men’s Day (IMD). For those who don’t know, IMD is marked every year on November 19. The purpose is to acknowledge the positive value men bring to the world, their families and communities, and raise awareness of men’s health, mental health, and well-being. The theme for 2025 is “Celebrating Men and Boys.”

THE CONTINUOUS JOURNEY OF MENTAL HEALTH BY JACK WILSON | MEN'S MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH 2025 | GUEST POST

Mental health, both good and bad, is a continuous journey. Your age, situation or background doesn’t mean you cannot seek the help and support you need…

Over the past 2 years, having went through a big dip in my mental health, leaving work and becoming a family carer for my Grandmother, it is safe to say life has not been very straight forward. That is why for Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month this year, I felt it important to do this blog.

GOODBYE, GRACIE | A THERAPEUTIC POST FULL OF MY THOUGHTS & FEELINGS AFTER LOSING MY YOUNGEST BUNNY

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye,

You were bigger than the whole sky,

You were more than just a short time,

And I’ve got a lot to pine about

I’ve got a lot to live without

Taylor Swift – Bigger Than The Whole Sky

I’ve always said that since Day One of creating I’m NOT Disordered back in 2013, the content has been about what I want to publish, what I want to create, and what I – and my mental health – benefit from writing about. So, when I found myself full to the brim of sad thoughts and feelings when my youngest bunny; Gracie, passed away on November 1^st, I immediately thought ‘I’ll write a blog post; that’ll help!’ I fully recognise that it might not ‘do well’ in terms of gaining readers but ultimately, it’s helped me to process these thoughts and feelings massively and that actually feels so much more important and worthy of publishing…
