No one should feel alone, broken and ashamed, like I did. I remember how I felt like there was something really wrong with me. I was afraid to do anything that would put me at the centre of attention and open me up to judgement. I expected negative judgement from anyone who saw or heard…

We’re running a Coffee Cake Create evening at Old Bakery Studios on World Mental Health Day (that’s Tuesday 10th October) – and you’re invited. Wait! Before you tell me “I…
