Honestly the rapidly rising cases have thrown me completely. I’m trying to balance what is logical/real world risk and what is #OCD. I used to always know the difference, even if it didn’t change how I felt in a situation. But now I have no idea where the line is.

Just had my first experience of someone shouting abuse at me in the street because I was wearing my mask on the way to pick up my car from its service.

Being a The Story Collider producer brings a lot of joy to my life in so many ways. Today I got to spend my lunch break listening to people and their stories. I always feel so honoured and grateful that people are willing to share parts of themselves and their lives with us

New “living with #OCD in a pandemic” musing - when does taking a lateral flow test become a compulsion/a form of seeking reassurance? I want to keep doing them but am already feeling like they’re becoming intertwined with my #OCD

This has been such an incredible story to be a part of - seeing the work behind the scenes to get this test up and running and then to see the impact on patients like Kat has been a privilege❤️

A fantastic example of the power of research 🔬 It has been incredible to work with Prof Darren Hargrave on this, from first chatting when the clinical trial results were published last year to learning that these amazing treatments would be recommended for use in the NHS.
