How my best friend helped me survive anorexia
When I was ill, I could almost feel anorexia pushing my friends and family away. I became withdrawn and distant, no longer myself. I did not want to go out with my friends or family, I didn’t even want to talk.
No man is an island – How my friends have helped me cope with depression
A small part of me could see what was happening, it was like watching from an outside view, seeing the colour of my former self fade into a big grey smudge.
Not only was I disappearing, but people around me were too.
But my closest friend, Katherine, has been there through it all.
Nobody asked Katherine to stay or understand but she did and there have been so many moments that I could not have gotten through it without her there with me.
Looking back, Katherine and I have picked out a few of the moments that have stuck with us along this journey.

Why we should all be having sex breaks at work
This week a Swedish councillor proposed that we should all be having sex breaks. Meaning one hour breaks from work in which you can feel free to head home or stick around in the office and have brilliant sex.
As someone who’s previously explored the many benefits of wanking at work and masturbated in my office for a week, it probably isn’t that surprising that I’m all for the idea of sex breaks.
Just like masturbation breaks, taking time to leave your desk and have sex would be a great way to relieve stress, increase focus, and make workers happier – and, as a result, better at their jobs.
Orgasms are good for you. They make you happier, healthier, and generally take you closer to being your best self.
At work, that can only be a good thing. Happy workers are productive workers, right?

I get why people might be a little freaked out by the idea of their coworkers running off for a quick bang sesh. But that’s something I reckon we should change.
I’m tired of the fact that when we’re at work, we pretend to be work-focused machines that don’t have human needs or a life outside of work.
We pretend that we don’t fancy our coworkers, because that would be inappropriate. We pretend we’re not exhausted after getting hardly any sleep. We agree to stay late because we don’t want to admit that actually, while we don’t have concrete plans, we’d quite like to go home and eat a giant bag of tortilla chips in front of the TV.
When it comes to sex, this goes further than the office.
We try to stay as silent as possible when we’re having sex and our housemates are home. We’re embarrassed of buying condoms. If we’re asked what we did last night, we’d never say that we spent a few hours engaged in some intensely passionate love-making involving a blindfold and The Weeknd playing in the background.*
*His music, I mean. He’s not literally there in the bedroom. I’m not that cool.
For some reason, even when we’re proper adults, we’re still set on pretending that we’re not sexual beings. Which is really bloody weird.
We all have sexual needs. We all do sexual stuff. Why are we acting like it’s a big secret?
But even if you’re not on board with my personal mission to make everyone talk about sex, you should be on board with the concept of sex breaks.
Why? Because the way we’re currently working is ruining our lives.
Unless you work in one of those ‘cool’ offices with bean bags and free snacks, you’re probably working in a culture that encourages you to stay late, eat your lunch at your desk, and always be on email alert in case anyone needs anything.
This bikini model was ‘slut-shamed’
The owner of swimwear brand Aquadiva Swimwear has been accused of slut-shaming a young model who often represents the brand after the model said she wasn’t happy with a photo they had used.
19-year-old model Stevie Alger, from Queensland, was told by the brand that they would be using a photo of her in one of their bikinis at a pop-up shop on the Gold Coast.
However, after asking which photo was going to be used, Stevie admitted to the company that she didn’t like the photo because she felt ‘self-conscious’ about the way she looked in it.
Despite telling Stevie that she looked gorgeous in the photo, the owner, Allison Appleby, went on to become defensive, asking her whether she disliked her brand.
