If only we could erase bad memories and achieve financial stability for the rest of our lives, our mental health would no doubt improve. A reflection on trauma, OCD, MS, and the importance of stability for wellbeing
Traveling with a disability or hidden condition takes planning, but it shouldn’t stop you from seeing the world. Whether you’re worried about customs, the DWP, or managing OCD while abroad, being informed and prepared can make all the difference. Remember: not all disabilities are visible, and you have every right to ask for support from airlines, and airport staff,.
How one woman’s journey through grief and hardship led to the creation of two powerful charities – and why her story continues to inspire global change. When we think of JK Rowling, most picture the global Harry Potter phenomenon. But behind the fame is a woman who once lived on state benefits, writing in cafes while caring for a young child as a single mother battling grief after losing her mother to Multiple Sclerosis.
Trichotillomania, also known as Hair-Pulling Disorder, is a serious mental health condition classified under Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders in the DSM-5. It involves repetitive hair-pulling that leads to noticeable hair loss, emotional distress, and social or occupational impairment.

Dropshipping is a business model that allows entrepreneurs to sell products online without holding inventory. Instead of stocking goods, the store sells the product, and then passes the sales order to a third-party supplier who ships the product directly to the customer. This model has a low barrier to entry, minimal upfront investment, and is perfect for people wanting to start an eCommerce business from home.
There has never been a more empowering time to start a business from scratch, especially if you are long-term unemployed, disabled, or seeking independence from a system that doesn’t always serve you. With government policy actively encouraging people to return to work, including those who face barriers due to disability or health, starting your own business can be a powerful, self-directed solution. You gain not only control over your income and routine but also protection from benefit sanctions, while still receiving financial support as you build your dream from the ground up.
