One week after switching from 80mg modified-release propranolol to 10mg tablets throughout the day… and I wanted to share an honest update.

I was genuinely anxious about making the change after 15+ years on the same dose, but it’s actually been more positive than I expected. Clearer head, better sleep, and some surprising improvements I didn’t see coming.

If you’re facing a medication change, especially after being on something long-term, this might help.

Propranolol MR shortage in the UK… so I had to switch. I was anxious about it, but here’s how it’s actually going. If you’re affected too, have a watch and let me know your experience. 👇

Last night I went back to St Andrews with my dad for the first time in 30 years. Had a bit of a wobble with the anxiety, but I pushed through and actually had a brilliant night. Made a little video about it if you fancy a watch. 💙

Ten years ago, in 2015, I made a video listing five goals I thought I’d never achieve because of anxiety. One of those was going back to a big football match...

🧠 World Mental Health Day 2025

I recorded a short video to talk honestly about where I’m at right now, the highs, the lows, and everything in between.

Over the last few weeks, I’ve faced a lot of anxiety, even after doing something massive like driving across Europe. It just shows that recovery isn’t always a straight line. Some days you feel like you’ve got it all together, and others hit you harder than you expect.

Whatever stage you’re at, just remember, you’re not alone. Someone out there understands exactly how you feel.

Keep talking about it. Not just today, but every day. 💬

Parts 2 and 3 are now up!

Part 2 covers our time in the Czech Republic, the wedding, Lednice Castle, meeting family, and even quick trips to Austria and Slovakia.
Part 3 is the journey home, through Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, and finally back to the UK.

Plenty of ups and downs along the way, but a lot of good moments too. Feels good to look back and see how far we actually went.

This is Part 1 of my European road trip vlog - driving from the UK to the Czech Republic while living with anxiety. 🚙💭

I’ve always shared openly about how anxiety can make even short journeys tough… so tackling a 1,000-mile drive across multiple countries was a huge personal challenge.

In this first part, I share the reality of what it’s like: the fear, the negative thoughts, the small wins, and the determination to keep going. We cross the Eurotunnel, stay in France and Germany, and finally make it to Lednice in the Czech Republic.

If you’ve ever wondered whether anxiety has to hold you back - I hope this shows that even when it feels impossible, you can still achieve amazing things.

In this first part of our European road trip, we set off from Tamworth in the UK and make the long journey all the way to Lednice in the Czech Republic. Alon...

Had such a lovely time in Czech Republic 🇨🇿. Those of you who know me, know how much of a challenge this was for me. My first time ever leaving the UK. Being 1000 miles away from home. Going to the wedding of people I've never met. Shopping in Austria & Germany, swimming in France 🤯

Yes there have been moments of anxiety, yes I've had plenty of 'what if' thoughts, and yes there were moments where I questioned my ability to do it.

But now we're on our way home and I'm currently sitting in Germany eating breakfast. 7 countries (8 including England) in a couple of weeks. What a ride it's been so far. Still got 3 days driving to do, but we're making the most of every moment.

6 years ago I couldn't even enter my local shop without feeling anxious. I felt less anxiety in a German supermarket last night than I used to in the coop less than 1 mile from home.

My anxiety hasn't gone away, it still throws me off sometimes and it can be as intense as ever, but that doesn't mean you have to quit. I could either panic at home on the sofa or panic in Prague. There is no difference. Get out there and live a little.

I almost didnt take this trip because of my thoughts, how wrong were they.

Been a while, but I'm still here...

Yesterday I experienced one of the most intense waves of anxiety I’ve felt in a long time. For nearly two hours I was stuck in this overwhelming sense of doom, a heavy, crushing dread that made me feel like something terrible was about to happen, even though nothing actually was.

This weekend, I took my self-built VW Transporter campervan out for its first proper camping trip. 🚐🔥

Not exactly anxiety-related, but for me, trips like this are all about pushing comfort zones and making sure anxiety doesn’t stop me from doing the things I want to do. A few years ago, I’d have overthought the whole thing to death, but this time, I just went for it.

After Friday’s anxiety episode, I could’ve stayed stuck in my own head, overthinking and letting it control my weekend. But today, I decided to push back.

This isn’t some big challenge—just a small step to remind myself (and anyone else struggling) that we don’t have to let anxiety decide what we do next.

🌪️ Dizziness, Anxiety & Panic – It Got Me Today… 😞

I’ve dealt with anxiety and panic attacks for 20 years, but every now and then, it still hits me like a ton of bricks. Today was one of those days. That horrible wobbly, floating, unsteady feeling came out of nowhere, and no matter how much I told myself it was just anxiety, it still knocked me for six.

If you’ve ever felt dizzy, lightheaded, or like you're swaying on a boat for no reason, I know how scary it can be. You’re not alone in this.

I just uploaded a video sharing exactly what happened today and how it reminded me that, no matter how much progress I make, anxiety is still lurking in the background.
