Going to a concert with anxiety

Taylor Swift Reputation Tour, Auckland 2018

I used to go to rock concerts all the time. I’ve seen some amazing bands over the years – until my anxiety started to become more of a problem for me and then I had to make the hard decision to stop going. I’m not very good around crowds, I suffer from panic attacks and to be honest it’s a real struggle. I recently got invited along to the Taylor Swift Reputation Tour concert here in Auckland and as someone who has been a Taylor Swift fan for the last ten years or so, I knew there was no way I could say no. I had to find a way to go to the concert and not have my anxiety be an issue. Easier said than done. I thought that since anxiety in big crowds seems to be quite common I’d share a few of the things that helped me have a great time and minimise my anxiety. View Post

I stopped loving my body

I spent a lot of time actively working to stop hating my body and start loving it. Loving it right now, as it is, without conditions. Because that’s how body positivity and self love works, right? Well guess what, that is bloody hard! Every time I feel like I am kind of getting there, it’s like running a race and having the finish line move as you get closer. View Post

Living with anxiety

Trigger Warning: Mental Health, Anxiety

My anxiety isn’t cute. It’s not a something to be romanticised or played down. It’s not a trend. It can be incredibly debilitating, isolating and frustrating. A lot of the time my anxiety is quiet – from the outside I might look fine but inside I’m so overwhelmed I can’t even manage simple tasks.

I find it really hard to talk about mental health stuff, not because I’m ashamed (well maybe sometimes it’s that), but more because finding the words to describe what I’m feeling is hard. I know, me – a writer – struggling for words, it’s not what you’d expect is it? View Post

Review: Modibodi Period Underwear

Something you should probably know about me is that I’m not afraid to talk about things that others might consider taboo – especially when it comes to our bodies. And so I tried out the Modibodi period underwear, I made a video about them and took some photos of what they look like on – because I’m a blogger and that’s what we do. View Post

Modibodi sent me some pairs for review and I've also purchased a few pairs of my own. Posts may contain affiliate links.

Tips To Help You Sleep Well

This is Meagan Kerr Tips to help you sleep well

If you’ve been reading my blog for a while you possibly already know that sleep has been a struggle for me for a long time. I’ve found it hard to get to sleep, hard to stay asleep, I’ve had poor quality sleep … and it’s a struggle to get up in the morning because I’m bloody exhausted. Sound familiar?

My sleeping habits are by no means perfect, but I’ve found a few things that are really helping me sleep better – and I’m not talking about the stuff you already know like not using your phone before bed and making sure you don’t have a TV in your room and that kind of thing, because TBH I am always gonna use my phone and have no plans to move my television (and nowhere else I can put it). Let’s get real. View Post
