I received a couple of messages in the last month asking me why I hadn’t written any blogs recently and why I hadn’t spoken any further around the topic of loneliness after being quite open about it last year. The main reason is; I’ve felt a bit embarrassed to, and I hate to say it…

It’s beginning to look a lot like that time of year that I really dread…. Avid readers (hey Mum, hey Dad) will know that I have spoken about this before – yet every year November comes and I get railroaded once again by my sudden plummeting mood and feelings of sadness despite knowing that it’s now a…

Sometimes I wish I was a musician or a poet and able to channel some of these convoluted thoughts and emotions into a beautifully crafted and considered song or poem as opposed to a rambling blog. But here we are. Over the last 6 months I’ve dipped my toe back in to the world of…

Maybe it’s because I’ve been writing more about music again. Maybe it’s because I don’t think anyone wants to read about me…

I was asked to contribute to a discussion on BBC News around the side effects of antidepressants and how more informed guidance should be given to those using them. BBC News – Thurs May 30th Michelle Lloyd Antidepressants from Michelle Lloyd on Vimeo.
