What do you envision when you hear or see the word Wellbeing?

What does wellbeing mean to you? Take a moment to think about it...

What did you come up with? How do you feel about the thought processes you experienced in relation to that question? Read on and I will share with you what wellness means to me. My Belief surrounding the concept of wellbeing is more than just physical. It is a whole package of interconnected elements, connections, attitudes and

personal philosophies. It is holistic and all-encompassing. It is of course, undeniably about your health, physical fitness and condition, these things are all central to good overall health. But more than that, it is about your mental strength, your cognitive ability and the decisions you make daily and why you make them. Taking the time to ensure your overall wellness facilitates personal growth. Wellbeing starts with positive connections. Social, Physical, and Emotional

It is also of course about choice. Your choices can have the ability to empower you, or they can cause destruction to yourself and your wellness. Your rituals define you. How you choose to behave is how you will be, and given enough time and repetition, it is what you will eventually become and who you will be. How you behave will affect how others perceive you and respond to you, both personally and professionally. This can work positively or negatively, it works both ways. Take a moment to consider the following;
Every day, what do you do to increase your wellbeing? What decisions do you make that impede or decrease your wellbeing? Are you happy with your choices and how they make you who you are?

I have observed various policies on recognising the talents of neurodiverse individuals in organisations, but often these policies remain theoretical rather than put into action. Embracing neurodiversity is crucial as it values the unique functioning of different brains, fostering inclusivity and innovation. By embracing neurodiversity, we unlock diverse perspectives and problem-solving approaches, driving creativity and progress. This acceptance empowers neurodiverse individuals and enriches communities through empathy, understanding, and collaboration. Ultimately, embracing neurodiversity leads to a world where everyone's strengths are celebrated, paving the way for a more equitable and dynamic future for all.

Instead of focusing on what some may perceive as limitations, neurodiversity emphasises the valuable contributions that individuals with diverse cognitive styles can bring to society.

Those of you rioting and destroying communities - You are not doing it in my name. - Hang your heads in shame.

If you are stood still watching the rioting and are doing nothing. Hang your head in shame.

For those of you that have hijacked the tragedy in Southport and choose to repeat lies and conspiracy theories - Remove yourself from my friends list.

The right wing media who have sowed the seeds of hate over the last few decades and in the last week - You do not speak for me.

The politicans that stoke violence, hatred and seperation - You will never speak for me.

Our Story

My name is Allison, I generally introduce myself as Allison two L’s. It’s particularly important now with email… I have lived the ‘I sent you an email’ ‘no you didn’t, how did you spell my name’ conversation more often than any other, but I digress..

I am 51 years old and I have spent most of my adult life suffering or living with, as I am told that living with is a more politically correct explanation, but is doesn’t fit me. So I have suffered from mental illness most of my adult life, and probably before that, but I grew up in the seventies and such things were not discussed and therefore didn’t exist for people like me…..

I have spoken candidly of voice hearing as a child and how comforting I found it, so imagine my shock when I found out that only ‘Mad’ people hear voices… the confusion!! I didn’t feel mad, I felt normal, I didn’t think I looked mad, don’t mad people scream a lot and look dishevelled (I was only 13!!). So I kept it to myself, until 2010 when I was 44 and in the midst of a catastrophic breakdown. So I admitted to my psychiatrist and subsequent therapists what went on in my head.. jeez and how did they repay my honesty.. I was put on medication that destroyed who I was and has had a massive impact on me physiologically ever since, that’s how. I was diagnosed with BPD, CPTSD and Anxiety and I suffered (there is that word again) a psychosis, self-harmed and find relationships difficult (I was going to say found, but that wouldn’t be the truth). So I have been in the darkest place, and with the help of a therapeutic community here in Oxford I have come out the other side, with only my need to talk to myself and some anxiety as a reminder of those days, yes I am that person you see on the bus that mutters and chats to herself, and everyone avoids sitting next to me (silver lining..).
