To
celebrate the SIXTH year of this wild journey with I'm NOT Disordered, here's a post with links and pics from the past year!
And here's to many more posts, partnerships,
collaborations, and Q&As!
But before we get into the flashback… here's what has been posted for the past five Birthdays:

January 2018 saw a partnership with OliverBonas on their book: 52 Lists For Happiness, and a competition win that saw me partying with one of my Blogging idols; Victoria McGrath (InTheFrow), Alex
Harrison, and Google Pixel.
February 2018 featured posts to celebrate Time To Talk Day with Time To Change, my 27th Birthday, the release of my favourite ever movie: Greatest Showman, and a few chats on things I’m glad Iignored, ways to feel more productive, and a collection of stigmatized comments
around mental health.
March 2018 was the month where I discussed
the reason why any feelings towards your abuser is ok, and the rationale behind
my self-harm and suicide attempt.
April 2018 saw me being sectioned,
celebrating the National Service User Awards, a quick chat about manipulation
and collaborations with Blyth Library (for World Book Day), the University of Sheffield, and English Heritage.
May 2018 meant a trip to London for the Richmond Fellowship Working Together Forum, a few more National Trust collaborations (here and here), one with English Heritage, and a series of posts for Mental Health Awareness Week.

NOT Disordered making it onto Feedspot’s Top Ten UK Borderline Personality
Blogs, a couple of ‘24hrs with…’ posts (here, here, and here) and a trip to Carlisle!

mental health.
October 2018 saw a lot of very important
posts but the most important was the one when I lost a best-friend; my cat of
four years Dolly and the beginning of a new life with my kitten; Emmy.
