When I think about being "triggered" by someone or something, I get irritated. Why? Maybe cause it seems like there is no 'safety mechanism' in place and it feels out of control. I'm working to find some space between feeling triggered and reacting to whatever has just transpired. This is my story of finding my safety.…

We plot our path to becoming the anti-Millwall in the second part of our season preview. There's a tense and fun game of attempting to read Barry Bannan's mind and pre-empt his favourite Wednesday XI. We then get on to the upcoming season - where do we see Wednesday finishing? Who will the player of the season be and who will take home the Wednesda…

This is the story of when I said to myself "I CAN" when I could not. What we can't do is as valuable as what we can do... as long as we keep both in mind and not focus solely on one or the other.By Amy - Fellow Human

Ever acted outside of your norm in a relationship? Ever acted like a lunatic even when you didn't want to? I have and I compare it to flying on a airplane... and how I react when the flight starts to go terribly wrong.By Amy - Self Care Advocate

Working to re-write the narrative in my head, I am learning to leave the feeling behind and take the lesson forward. The stories I tell myself fuel my emotions and affect my behaviors. I am not yet able to "forgive and forget", but I CAN work to remember my past and leave the feelings 'back then'.By Amy - Self Care Advocate

Another story, another 'rambling' and another experiment. Digging out of the old and into the new requires dedication, exploration and hard work. I myself prefer to be a bit lazy!

Part 2 of my rambling about pain, injury and trauma as I share the story in my head about judging my shitty experiences and those of others.By Amy

I was once told that our pains, injuries and traumas are like acne.... they each require time and attention to heal. Sometimes our pains, injuries and traumas leave scars. This is my beginning of addressing my healing and my scars.By Amy

The stores in my head have helped me create expectations - both of others in the world and of myself - that are NOT congruent with reality and do not set anyone up for success. Sharing my thoughts on how to have realistic expectations led me to discover I don't wanna have any at all!!!! But how do I accomplish that?…

Working to find my footing and struggling to convince myself I am capable of this adventure....I share my process of building my confidence and learning to view myself as NEW today.By Amy

Ramblings of an addict... sifting through the stories I tell myself that lead to continued use and abuse of substances and self. A sharing of the story that led me to a new experiment in taking 1 Day at a Time!!!By Amy

As I meander through my thoughts on how I communicate with myself, the words I choose, and the consequences that come from those choices; I realize the power of speech...even when I'm not speaking aloud!!!By Amy

After some practice listening to myself and examining the way I communicate with myself, I am pondering the perspective from which I view my world and realize I may be wrong... often very wrong. And I don't like being wrong! Yet getting it 'right' becomes my newest experiment.By Amy

For Sheffield Wednesday this season (2023/24) has been one of contrast, the abysmal first 10 matches or so under grumpy, charlatan Xisco Munoz and the markedly better run since under German coaching whizz Danny Rohl. The players have had similar swings, some asked to do unfamiliar or uncomfortable jobs under Xisco then recast or recalled under Rohl…

A timely canning of Xisco and our shiny new manager has brought the Gravy Boys out of their slumber. The title refers to the, subjective opinion here, awful KFC sandwich, or as Rich pus it a "nice sandwich in pooey bread". "Pooey bread" slice one gets into how embarrassed we were to even feel remotely optimistic about Xisco Munoz's reign and the fa…

Goodbye the 2022/2023 season - "you were a real one!" Hello the 2023/2024 season - "what's that smell? could you check your shoes please, I don't want that tramped all through the house, I'm not accusing you but it didn't smell like that before you arrived." etc Due to our questionable judgement we decided to sit down on the transfer window equival…

The Different Gravy: The B.O.O.B.S (Back On Our Bull S***) Sessions continue, sadly. This was a rough one, as rough as they come. We try and remember how we used to do these match reviews and just about hold back the tears as we discuss the Play Off Semi Final leg one. There's some room thankfully for the odd fun digression Callum Paterson as hard …
