What’s Happening? Warning depressing content.
I have 45 years of depression and anxiety cycles behind me. I know how they work. I know so well that the knowledge has for years blunted the deeper end of depression. I go down, triggered by a mixture of sensory hazards; summer heat & brightness for example, memory; an event that has caused problems…

My Life – A Job Application
I was asked to write a biography to go with an application for a volunteer position. I thought it might interest people crazy enough to read my other rubbish. I love you, my crazy followers! Lisa Holt I was born in a tiny town in Gippsland Victoria, because my parents lived in an even smaller…

I’m A Little Scared
Neurofeedback gave my life clarity, it enabled me to write. I thought my life was finally going somewhere. I have being doing things I haven’t done in years, I’ve been doing things I’ve never done. I was shocked at my lack of anxiety and how much I was getting done. I had a melt down…
