I can't you remember what I spoke about but I hope you enjoy.

Although I am choosing to share this information with everyone, I don't actually think it's important at all, but I think the experience might help SOMEONE as it would have helped me, had I known some of the things I know now, earlier. I also don't want questions on my lifestyle I may or may not choose to share online in the future, so to hold any confusion, I'd rather 'confess' now, as I assume a lot would be confused.

I actually don't know what today's episode is about. Hope you enjoy...?

If you're a smoker who wants to quit smoking, there's no better time to do it than now, whilst, we're self-isolating. Hope this helps someone!

Hey guys! This is my second attempt of uploading today's episode because like the twat I am, I deleted the tab on the screen by accident. When I don't take prep-notes, like I didn't today, writing out the description is always the most boring part, which is exactly why I will continue to be my very casual self, even when writing the description on today's episode. The title should make it obvious on what I talk about in today's episode. Like every episode, I hope you enjoy. I enjoyed talking about what I recorded for you because it is something I am excited for in my future and therefore excited to share as well. Please share with your friends on your group chats. Follow me on Instagram: @gabi.dines

The title is pretty self-explanatory - today's podcast is a reflection of how my life has been different for the better these last few months. I explain why I look forward to the holidays, going back to work after the holidays... I go on about how weird routine is... and also my amazing progress at the gym. Soon my podcast channel will be my very own boasting channel. Fun. I hope you enjoy. Please share with your friends on your group chats. Follow me on Instagram: @gabi.dines

Today's episode is here to encourage everyone to try and not use alcohol as a psychological dependency. I talk about British culture and our love for alcohol, growing up in the UK around alcohol, the pleasure circuit, social barriers and social anxiety, and quality time with our friends that need to be encouraged more - to be able to enjoy life without the stress of 'having to drink' or take drugs - my way of thinking around all of it. I also talk about the importance of saving money, general well-being and the fact that most people in their 20s are broke all the time because of our habits with drugs/alcohol. I hope you enjoy today's episode. Follow me on my Instagram: @gabi.dines

Anyone that listens to my podcast PLEASE go and search for 'The Big Drill' on Spotify Podcasts and on YouTube. Today's episode is a response to their episode dedicated to the Joker movie. Again, another really enjoyable listen. WARNING: I was really tired when recording this so it took my brain a few seconds to think properly so I do, once again, like ever episode, chat absolute sh*t. I hope you enjoy. If Will and Ghazi take the time to listen... Thanks, hope you enjoy too :) I'll continue to be the awkward person I usually am at the gym :) Please share with your friends xox

Like almost every episode, I start off with some updates about some personality changes I have noticed in myself that I feel proud of and accomplished. But today's main conversation is something I describe as 'real culture'. I want to revise the ideas we have been putting out as a society on our morals and the pressures we have developed on to each other and our friends to "never be fake" "keep it real" and everyone claiming to be a "genuine person" seems to be the most dishonest thing to me. Tune in to find out more. I hope you enjoy and thank you for listening! Follow me on my Instagram: @gabi.dines please take the time to share with your friends on your socials and on your group chats xox

In today's episode I talk more about the gym (of course) , having a healthier relationship with food, some extra activities I am doing at home with my bedroom, to taking advantage on my Google assistant system on my phone 'OK Google' and the benefits it gave me. I talk a little of a routine I am developing (which is great because when my mental health is down I usually don't have a routine) - I talk about flexibility in routines and its importance for me, The last thing I also want to discuss which I have bought up is a topic I had at the gym: motivation VS habits. I thought it was interesting for someone to say that they don't believe in motivation, especially because I care about it so much. I hope you enjoy. Please share on your group chats.

I'm far more pumped to talk in today's episode than I was in episode #58. Here's another update on how I am doing at the gym. I also touch more on my sleeping routine and my fix with it. I was watching The Cat In The Hat last night and fell asleep whilst watching it. It's a lot easier than trying to lecture yourself in to feeling okay about falling asleep. I also mentioned a YouTube video by the God himself, Vsauce and his video 'Why Do We Dream?' - go check it out. I hope you enjoy!

Hello all and welcome back :) The title really speaks for itself here. If you are a returning listener, you'll know that I recently spoke about wanting to join the gym once I started working again and now here I am. I also spoke more in-depth about the exercise I do with the motto "Do something today that your future-self will thank you for". And again, if you want to know more about what I created and want to give it a go, feel free to message me on: Facebook @ydypodcast Twitter: gabbyddines Instagram: @gabi.dines Unfortunately, I didn't manage to upload this episode on Monday at 6PM like I said I would :(! So it's up today. Hope you enjoy. Please share with your friends xo

One of the most important and one of the last lessons my therapist taught me, was to do something today, every day, that my future self will thank me for. I don't always think about this saying, but when I do, it always makes me feel motivated. As you'll know if you have been tuning in recently, I've been in a depressive state and chained to my bed the last few months. I designed my own way of teaching myself and encouraging motivation for myself that goes along this important saying "do something today that your future self will thank you for" and I really am starting to do something every day, even if it's quite literally just one small change in my behaviour, one tiny choice that I don't usually choose to do that my future self will thank me for doing. I hope all is well and you're not losing your grip on your own control.

Series 17 Episode 3 on Dragons' Den (available on BBC iPlayer) taught me something that was important for me to see. I decided to talk about the episode because I was always taught that it's not good to show or express any real emotions as it is seen as 'weak' or it's 'not tolerated'... I really hope that in the future, workers don't feel silenced and can show that they sometimes need a little bit of help crossing mental barriers and not be dumbed down, scraped to the side or lose their job.

Trying to find balance in your life is usually hard to maintain or even start in the first place. I'm learning and slowly picking myself back up, although recently, I've learnt that sometimes listening to your instincts can be your enemy. Don't be silly and don't make stupid decisions off impulse and because you believe it will amplify to your happiness. I hope everyone had a sick Carnival this year! Starting to make plans to improve my life and podcast channel. Listen to today's podcast to find out more. I hope it helps you tidy your room.

In today's episode, I talk about the huge amount of time I've taken out from everything, and what it has lead me to start thinking about. I've been thinking about my future and trying to get myself out of the past and it feels goood. I hope you enjoy.

I wanted a casual chit chat (by myself) to share with everyone. I was in a great mood and ready to make another episode. Join me whilst I'm in the bath, dealing with my problems and self-caring. In today's episode I recommend to watch the Netflix Original series 'Dear White People' and discuss the new season that is yet to be released on '13 Reasons Why' on Netflix. I was aiming for a half an hour kind of episode but you know how much crap I talk, and it's a lot so here's another almost hour long podcast for your entertainment. I am starting to aim to release an episode every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 6PM. I hope you enjoy.

I have recently been watching the YouTube channel 'The School Of Life' and it helps me understand very complex feelings in a simple way in videos usually under 10 minutes or a little over. Through binge watching them, it has helped me identify the behaviour I avoid and think about my insecurities and immaturities. In today's episode, I reflect a little bit back on my previous episode #51 'Home' and the kind of bubble I have been stuck in but the behaviour I have been cycled in with it recently is not what I want any more and it's great that I'm identifying it. I talk about the YouTube star Eugenia Cooney > The School of Life > My messy home > My Self-esteem > My face & boobs. I hope you enjoy. Please share with your friends. xox

This episode isn't specifically about my home but more about what I want in life and things I found important to share today and felt right to share - obsessions seem to be important as they usually help me release my dopamine and make me feel motivation. I talk a lot about how I want to be able to have a home instead of depending on a man to give me one. I talk a bit more about Daniel Sloss' 'Jigsaw' show on Netflix as well as an interview Marilyn Manson is in that always teaches me a lot about discovering what I want and the reasons behind it. He usually helps me with putting better words in to my head. I hope you enjoy this bloody long podcast.

If you're not already fuming at the title then give my podcast a listen as to why you should be. I often see online a social media influencer talking about being tired all the time and sleeping all the time and unfortunately, like on most social media platforms, there are a LOT of pricks who leave irresponsible comments. I address these types of comments in today's episode. I hope you enjoy.

Norwich backfired and the way I responded to the situation reminds me of how far I've came after therapy - I remind myself of how I use to emotionally respond highly stressful and emotional situations. I go on to talk about my lack of appreciation on what I do have as I tend to focus on what I don't have in my life. I've forgotten what it feels like to feel cosy, like when you're in doors on a rainy day and are happy to just sit in bed and watch movies all day. I've forgotten how to enjoy the safety, security and the luxury of at home, entertaining stimuli. I hope you enjoy.

In today's conversation, (yes I just put 'conversation' instead of 'episode' because despite that no one ever replies to me, it still feels like a conversation I have with me, myself and I) I first talk about having vivid-scary dreams when I was on my antidepressants and during withdrawal symptoms. I compare how long dreams feel now as an adult to when I was a child. I wonder if it's worth trying to have nicer dreams by changing our everyday thoughts. I do end up mentioning Harry Potter because Dumbledore says in The Deathly Hallows "Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not true?" and I start to really wonder to what extent this can be applied in real life. I also discover a theory about why we dream what we dream, probably a popular theory that already exists but this theory made a LOT of sense to me. Please share your thoughts on today's conversation! Follow me on my social networks: Instagram @gabi.dines Twitter @gabbyddines Facebook @ydypodcast Thank you.

In today's episode I give you guys an update on what I've done with my life so far, regarding moving out and joining the gym. I touch on the importance for me of going to the gym and helping my anxiety and giving me motivation. I also refer back to episode 40 (Why S*it Shows Are Important) with some spoilers on Love Island and EastEnders. I hope you enjoy.

This is my longest episode yet and I honestly never try to figure out how I got past 30 minutes of speaking but it never really surprises me. In today's episode, I talk about my history of discovering mental health, how it all began, the beginning of starting my SSRI's, through to therapy, to coming off and going through withdrawal symptoms all the way to readjusting to life again with my own brain that was getting biologically depressed by myself and unlearning my addiction to SSRI's. It's a long one, it gets a bit personal, I start going off topic (the usual) and I do it many times. If anyone actually manages to go from start to finish on today's episode then please let me know. I will be mind-blown. I hope you enjoy. Thank you.

This question annoys me a lot and I wonder what our friends real intentions are. Some people ask what others do for a living for several common reasons: To make small talk; genuine curiosity; to get more contacts in an industry they want to work in. I talk about how most of my friends, if not all of them, are genuine friends to me. We don't want to work in a similar field as each other, we have only a couple of similar interests as each other but we are great friends because we enjoy each others company, we've grown together and we are happy to express different kinds of emotions to each other. We are fine with showing some degree of vulnerability because we're not taking advantage of each other. I hope you enjoy. Thank you.

I've did it again; I went from topic a to b, c and d before finishing any of my points. In today's episode, I start off with having a rant about how everything else you decide to do with your career that does not connect to getting a degree or going to university is not an 'alternative' and that we're brainwashed to believe that we have to go to uni because it's the best attempt you can give to your best shot at getting the best job for you. I think this is extremely false. Warning: Like most of my episodes on my podcast channels, I ramble a lot and it takes a while to just directly get to the point. Thank you.

Today's episode is a rant about an encounter I had with this silly, pathetic boy on Facebook. But also an unexpected fan-girl moment I had as I was making today's episode because this beautiful YouTuber and Podcaster called 'Dudey Rhino' replied to me during the making of today's episode, so watch out for that. People, stop calling women 'slags'. Wearing a bra in public is NOT consent to sex and should not be assumed that she will have sex with anyone and everyone. You're a slag for calling someone a slag. I hope you enjoy. Thank you.

I'm back and ready to make more episodes. I first talk about moving out of London in June which has some cons that I fear happening. I talk briefly on coming off m medication and ordering Melatonin from the US and it's health benefits. I go on to talk about the corruption of the medicine system in the NHS and my disbelief on their best interest in their patience. I hope you enjoy.

I had a huge nag at this idiot on Twitter who made a patronising comment to a woman who pointed out that men have been violent towards women due to rejection. The scenario was linked to a tweet that said "tip:if you think somebody is giving you a fake number, read it back to them incorrectly. see if they correct you." And like a lot of people, I got really pissed off about it. I hope you enjoy.

I started to get in to the topic 3 minutes if you'd like to skip - now that's out of the way, in today's episode, I talk about the shows I've started investing my time in and what it teaches me. I've been watching Eastenders, which I thought I'd never get in to but it's great to wind down and watch at night and see the way the lower class is represented in society and the drama's that come with it. As well as watching Celebs Go Dating. Celebs Go Dating can be very boring, it's sometimes makes me chuckle but I also learn a lot from it. I talk about the importance of giving the mind something to think about that doesn't affect my real life. I hope you enjoy.

I was with a friend of mine and he highlighted the awareness of how much mental health can affect an individual with a mental illness to still be in its infancy. I agree. In today's episode, I talk about how my mental health has affected me at work and the ignorance I have seen towards it. I talk about my concerns with how managers have treated their workers who have a mental illness. It's easy to say you have to leave your personal problems at home and not bring them to work, but mental illness follows you every where you go. If I knew how to switch it off at work, I'd do that all the time. I want to contribute to not just raising awareness of the existence of mental illness, but how it causes the individual to involuntarily behave in inconvenient ways sometimes. I hope you enjoy. Comments on constructive criticism are welcome. Thank you.

I've got myself a full-time job doing front of house work. I mentioned before on a previous episode that I am terrified of working with customers because it flares up my anxiety. But the place I am working in is very related to my cultural background, being British and all (I'm now working behind the bar in a pub). I'm really excited about this opportunity and can't wait to start work tomorrow. I hope you enjoy. Comments on constructive criticism are welcome. Thank you.

I bought my first Cosmopolitan magazine. It made a few pages dedicated to the works of a man named 'Jordan Peterson'; a clinical psychologist and a professor of Psychology at the University of Toronto. The magazine for March 2019, page 81 says "Why does every guy you know worship this man?" I had never heard of him before but wanted to know why apparently every guy I know worships Jordan Peterson. I found a YouTube video he uploaded, with over 258K hits which piqued my interest. This is my response to his suggestion.I hope you enjoy. Comment son constructive criticism are welcome. Thank you.

I want to share my episodes on my Facebook account as it's the biggest community I have online. I would like to be able to reach more people and be able to hear some range of opinions on what I discuss on my podcast channel, positive or negative feedback. I go on to speak about my experience working around customers for the first time in a long time and how it has helped me. At the end of the episode, I update on trying to get back in to having a morning routine. I hope you enjoy. Comments on constructive criticism are welcome. Thank you.

I made a video on my phone, with my front face camera, talking to myself. When I was in therapy, my therapist taught me a role play method, where Gabby 1 (sad Gabby) would address her worried to Gabby 2 (reassuring Gabby) where I would have a conversation with myself, putting positive thoughts in to my own head and rationalising my mind. In the video I made of myself, it is Gabby 2 rationalising Gabby 1. I hope you enjoy. Comments on constructive criticism are welcome. Thank you.

I had a random, emotional reaction to simply thinking about the future I imagine myself having. It has made me think more positively about life and giving me some more motivation to do what I need to do in order to achieve my goals. I want to be able to help my boyfriend. I want to be able to be a successful business woman. I want to move out. I hope you enjoy. Comments on constructive criticism are welcome. Thank you.

I watched this Netflix series called 'Russian Doll'. I love when something like watching a film/tv show can change some of your views on life and give you these great epiphanies. This Netflix series teaches you about confronting pain and how it can set you free. I've spoken before about how the truth can set you free, but like most people, I usually try to avoid pain, mostly emotional pain. In today's episode, I talk about how I want to start perceiving pain differently; by accepting it, but also accepting the non-painful parts of pain. Comments on constructive criticism will be appreciated. Thank you.

I watched a couple of episodes of the 'Botched' series (it's about popular plastic surgeons and their work with real customers); this episode is about my opinion on plastic surgery and how I few self-esteem/aesthetically pleasing body surgeries. I hope you enjoy. Comments on constructive criticism are welcome. Thank you.

In today's episode, I mention a website I looked at yesterday which had some great tips on how to control and break the habit of automatic negative thoughts, which I put to the test and helped me out. I also talk about how I want my work and home life to turn out to be with what I imagine and want to create. I hope you enjoy. Comments on constructive criticism will be appreciated. Thank you. Here's the link to a helpful website I skimmed over that has some helpful tips by people who have had trouble with controlling their Automatic Negative Thoughts: https://anxietynetwork.com/content/stopping-automatic-negative-thoughts

In today's episode, I spoke about a negative past experience I had with an ex-boyfriend and how I've allowed it to affect my current relationship. I speak about my fears from my past relationship and experience and how I'm trying to change that. I hope you enjoy. Comments on constructive criticism will be appreciated. Thank you.
