LEAST FAVOURITE SONG?
Anything like Gagnam Style, Blurred Lines etc. you get my drift right?
 
 
 
A SONG THAT MAKES ME HAPPY?
Listening to it right now, and smiling! No Angels by Bastille feat. Ella (Eyre)! Love, love, love it! It was a cover of TLC's No Scrubs, but I love the way Bastille cover songs because they just recreate the entire sound and style of the song- go and check them out!
 
 
A SONG THAT MAKES ME SAD?
Well that would have to be, hmm I don't even know haha! Oh, got it! Small Bump by Ed Sheeran! (Love him) but that song :'(

A SONG THAT I KNOW ALL THE WORDS TO?
Well, I know the words to a lot of songs, but I am going to say a rather old song... Like a Prayer by Madonna! Love it and it was our House Music song at school (the winning song!)
 
 
A SONG THAT I CAN DANCE TO?
Most, but a song that will make me get up and dance is definitely the Cha Cha Slide!
 
 
A SONG I FALL ASLEEP TO?
I cannot fall asleep to music, I did it once when I was little and it gave me nightmares- never again!

Overjoyed by Bastille, I used to hate this song. I would constantly skip over it on the album, but it has grown on me and I love it!
 
 
 
A SONG FROM A BAND I HATE?
I wouldn't say I hate a band? But I am not a huge fan of the Arctic Monkeys, but I have never really made an effort to listen to them! That can be a challenge for me, to listen more to TAM!

I wouldn't say I hate this song now, but I think I have just listened to it too much! Icarus by Bastille, I just don't listen to it so much because I have over listened if that makes sense?
 
A SONG I ALWAYS HEAR ON THE RADIO?
I don't really listen to the radio, but whenever I do- our local radio station is like obsessed with 80's/0's tunes so I guess that era of music!

A SONG I LISTEN TO WHEN I AM HAPPY?
Happy by Pharrell Williams obviously haha! Pretty self explanatory!

How To Feel Good About Yourself

Hi everyone, now today I wanted to talk about something other than anxiety. Although I want to promote feeling good in your own skin, it can be hard when you just can't. A lot of my friends have told me to stop wearing makeup to school, so I did. To start with, I did get a lot of compliments and I started to feel better about myself. Eventually the novelty wore off and I started feeling ugly and pretty shit; because I wasn't getting the compliments anymore and I just felt so much better wearing that extra layer on my face! So I started wearing it again, then I stopped, then the cycle began again. So although I want you to feel good in your own skin, if you don't here are my top tips:
 
Makeup
This can be a great way to start feeling better about yourself, I know it sounds silly but it is just really satisfying that when you do wear it- and you look in the mirror and you look so much better! So, if you are just starting out in makeup and are on a budget, there are a lot of awesome cheap "drugstore" brands to chose from. Base makeup is so buildable so you can chose the amount you want, here are my top tips (sorry the photos are the product images but the quality of my camera is shocking so I wanted you to see it well!):

Tip Number 1!
Get to know your skin!
If you don't know what skin type you have, here is a good way to determine: when you wake up in the morning, feel your face. What is it like? If it feels greasy and sweaty all over, you my friend- are kindly welcomed into the oily club! With oily skin, you want to make sure you use a primer to keep your makeup on, a matte foundation and ALWAYS POWDER! Another thing I do is use a mattifying moisturiser, these are really good at absorbing oils.
If, when you wake up and your skin feels oily in some places and dry in others, you are combination! It is quite hard to tell what to use, but I would recommend a seaweed based skincare product- go to the Body Shop they have some crackers! And then just try out some different foundation finishes, and if you like use a primer but it may feel a little cakey! And you still need to powder!
If your skin doesn't really feel like anything, you know what I mean? Then you have normal skin! You can use whatever foundation you like, just find the one that you love the most but still remember to powder- we don't want no shine!
Finally, if you have dry skin- you will know! You probably won't need a primer but if you have large pores then you could use a pore minimiser. My one and only tip is to steer clear from mattes. They will look disgusting on your skin! They will cling to your dry patches and then it just makes it look like you were trying to conceal a spot, so try a more satin finish because that will look absolutely lush!

Tip Number 2!
 Powder, powder, powder!
Powder will be your best friend! Apply it over your foundation to get rid of shine or use a pigmented powder over foundation to give a bit of extra coverage, or on its own to give a natural look. I personally love the Rimmel London Stay Matte Powder if you are on a budget. It comes in Translucent, Pink Blossoms, Peach Glow, Sandstorm, Silky Beige and Nude Beige. It costs £3.99 so it is super cheap for what it is! If you want some other reviews click here:
http://uk.rimmellondon.com/products/face/stay-matte-pressed-powder


A higher end powder that I love, not so much for setting make up but for wearing as my/ instead of foundation is the Benefit Hello Flawless Powder, I have tried the foundation version of this, which was apparently good for oily skin, but I didn't really get along with it. I still have some leftover so I might try it again, because I used it in winter when I had more dry skin. So this powder is glorious! It makes my skin feel so silky and soft and just so posh! I am a lover of Benefit makeup and even though it is on the pricier side, it is well worth it trust me! However, I am digressing here, but I have tried a couple of their products which I am not a fan of. Would you like a blog post on that?
http://www.benefitcosmetics.co.uk/product/view/hello-flawless <----- click there for more info!

However, it does cost £25.50 which to be honest is quite a lot of money but I am in love, if I could marry this product, I would!

Tip Number 3!Mascara is your friend!
Don't be afraid to use mascara, after all it is going to finish off your look amazingly. If there was only one product I would have to use forever it would be a mascara because
it really just adds that much more "wowness" to your face. Some people like to wear just mascara as their makeup, that is totally fine- but in my opinion, I wouldn't wear it without a base on my face but that is just my opinion! My favourite mascara is the Collection Big Fake Ultimate, it costs £4.99 however it does dry up fairly fast and to my knowledge as of know they are yet to make a waterproof version which sucks!(the link to the collection site isn't working so here is the Boots one instead!) http://www.boots.com/en/Collection2000-Big-Fake-Ultimate-Mascara_1281311/ 



A waterproof mascara I am loving is the Benefit Bad Gal Lash mascara, now on the packaging it doesn't say it is waterproof and I haven't tested it in a pool or anything, however- I did wear it to watch The Fault in Our Stars, and I cried so, so much! And not a tear mark, pretty impressive right?

http://www.benefitcosmetics.co.uk/product/view/badgal-lash-mascara

Tip Number 4!
Use Youtube!
If these tips have been useful, great! However, there are loads of beauty gurus online and where I learned all I know about makeup! So, I am pretty sure you have- go and check out other beauty Youtubers because a lot of them are make up artists so they give awesome and super advice, here are some of my favourites: (I just had a heart attack, I went to click on another tab and I accidentally closed this one and I thought I lost all of this- I didn't  though. phew!)
https://www.youtube.com/user/pixi2woo - Tanya Burr
https://www.youtube.com/user/pixiwoo - Pixiwoo (Nic and Sam)
https://www.youtube.com/user/Sprinkleofglitter - Sprinkle of Glitter (Louise)
https://www.youtube.com/user/zoella280390 - Zoella (Zoe)
https://www.youtube.com/user/kandeejohnson - Kandee Johnson
https://www.youtube.com/user/essiebutton - Essiebutton
https://www.youtube.com/user/FleurDeForce- Fleur DeForce
Of course, there are so many more, but these are just a few that I love.

Hair
I don't have too many tips on how to feel good about your hair, because I am still learning all different and funky hairstyles. I can't even French plait...

Tip Number 1:
You can do it if you dry shampoo it!
Dry shampoo is my saviour! You know the days when you just can't be arsed to do anything with your hair and you haven't washed it in like four days? Dry shampoo is an excellent solution! You just spray it in your roots and massage it in, BAM! You are done. I stand by Batiste because they are really inexpensive and they have such a good range. I also love that the scent lingers too because there would be nothing worse than putting dry shampoo in your hair if the smell went away- nobody wants smelly hair haha! They just make dry shampoo so you can guarantee it will be good because they put all of their energy into making just the one product- not loads of others!
http://www.batistehair.co.uk/
You can also use it just to give your hair a bit more volume or texture too! There are so many different scents and formulas so you will find one you love and they make minis too! I am a lover of the Coconut and Exotic Tropical one.

Tip Number 2!
Salt Spray it up!
Salt spray is a great way to give a beachy and wavy look to your locks. I have curly-frizzy hair so I hate when I brush it and it goes all frizzy and yucky! So, spray some of this beauty in and Bob's your uncle! I like to spray it in my hair directly, twist some parts around my hair and scrunch some of my hair up. I also like applying it to my fingers and just run that through my hair too. This is my solution to anti-frizz but keeping the waves and it adds so much texture to my hair! I have been using the L'Oreal one, and I love it. It smells like anti-septic which could be an issue for some people but I love it- most hair brands make them too!
http://www.loreal-paris.co.uk/styling/studio-line/matt-and-messy/tousled-wave-salt-spray.aspx

 So, that is it! My top tips of feeling amazing in your own skin. Of course, you can just pick and chose which tips you would like to use and I hope you have enjoyed this! If you have twitter, comment below and tweet me (@didijustpanic) I LOVE LOOKING GOOD! Love you guys, please comment!

Chapter 1: The Facts - continued again (final part)

 
Today, this is the most personal post I have done to date. I have spoken about GAD and SAD in previous posts, but today I am writing about Panic Disorder.
 
Panic Disorder
 
I have suffered with some sort of panic disorder, yes fairly mildly but it is still there, for just over a year. I know that everyone feels anxious and panics in certain situations, which is perfectly normal, however for people like me- we can feel anxious and nervous at for what others deem to be perfectly normal situations. When you are in a situation that makes you uneasy, nervous, scared or anything like that: what do you do? Probably act in a rational way and just calm yourself down, yes? Well, for people with panic disorder, in situations like this it is near impossible to calm down. Instead, we will most likely experience a panic attack. And, I am just come out and say this:
PEOPLE WHO SAY THEY HAD A PANIC ATTACK WHEN THEY JUST SAW A SPIDER OR JUST KIND OF SAY IT AS A JOKE OR TO EXAGGERATE THEMSELVES- ARE THE PEOPLE I REALLY CAN'T STAND.
Because, I can tell you this for nothing, a panic attack is one of the scariest thing I have ever experienced. According to the NHS these are the most common symptoms when having a panic attack and I will highlight which ones I have experienced:
  • palpitations, sensation of an irregular heartbeat
  • sweating
  • hot flushes
  • trembling
  • shaking
  • chills
  • dizziness
  • dry mouth
  • chest pain
  • shortness of breath
  • hyperventilation
  • nausea
  • feeling faint
  • numbness or pins and needles
  • need the toilet
  • fear or dread
  • churning stomach
  • ringing ears
  • tingling fingers
  • shivering
In the majority of panic attacks I have experienced I have cried or felt extremely emotional. Now, when I say I have panic disorder, I haven't been diagnosed but I am guessing I do. I have panic attacks in situations where I feel too hot or too surrounded by heat. However, in situations where it easy to feel anxious for the everyday person, I am completely on edge and experience tiny bursts of these symptoms. Most panic attacks last for around 5-20 minutes. If you are in a very stressful situation, for yourself, and have experienced a panic attack- there is a possibility that you could experience a panic attack straight after a previous one- if that makes sense.
 
People with panic attacks can sometimes worry about having another one, therefore constantly living in fear. Luckily, I don't have this on-going fear, yet when in a stressful situation - I do tend to think 'I am going to have a panic attack,' or 'oh my god I am panicking,'. I am a generally anxious person and I so suffer with quite severe shyness, as explained in post on SAD.
 
Finally, once when I had a panic attack (my first ever one, and my worst one to date) my symptoms were so intense, I felt depersonalised. This means that you feel detached from the situation, your body and surroundings. It makes you feel like you aren't really there, the best way to describe it is as if you were a fish in a fish tank and having loads of people looking and staring at you. People may think it can make your panic attack feel less frightening, when in fact it made, me anyway, feel a whole lot worse and extremely disorientating.
 
The cause of panic disorder is not yet fully understood, but here are the most likely:
  • traumatic life experiences, bereavement, abuse etc. can cause feelings of anxiety
  • genetics, a family member suffers with PD (this is a theory)
  • neurotransmitters, chemicals in the brain and perhaps an imbalance of these chemicals can cause the development of this condition
  • increased CO2 sensitivity?
  • catastrophic thinking, focusing on minor symptoms and interpreting them catastrophically
Again, the first course of action is CBT, where you will talk about what you experience during a panic attack, how you feel etc. The next step would be antidepressants of similar medications. I have explained this in other posts because treatment in near identical for most anxiety disorders. I do not feel that my anxiety is severe enough to get medical help just yet. I will do a post soon on my first attack and explain it in detail. I hope this 'series' has been helpful for you. And again, like my previous posts on this topic- all information is from nhs.uk so if you want any extra and more in depth advice go and check out that site.

Band Focus!

 
You may have heard of essiebutton.com 's series on her channel called; Brand Focus? Well, I have had a bit of a brainwave and though instead of Brand Focus, Band Focus! That's right, I have decided, if you guys like it, to do a mini series of focusing on different bands to write about and share with you guys! I will share with you my favourites and recommend some good songs. So what is first on Band Focus? BASTILLE!
 
Okay, so you have probably all heard of the British band called Bastille, and many of you probably consider yourself a fan. But I bet if I ask you to name three songs you will say a mixture of these things:
  • Pompeii, Things we lost in the fire, Bad Blood.
  • Pompeii.
  • They have more than three songs?
Am I right? I kind of hope that I am not because I absolutely adore this band so much. Seriously, it is an obsession. So basically, Bastille began in 2010 when Woody- drums, posted a flyer through Dan's- lead singer door advertising drum lessons. They soon joined forces and decided to begin a band because Dan had already written quite a few songs on his own- you can find them along with some solo covers on Youtube! They soon found Kyle and Will and Bastille was born. Bastille is called Bastille because Dan's birthday is on Bastille Day (14th July). Early in their music careers they released two free downloadable albums full of fantastic covers, collaborations and original tracks, these included Requiem for Blue Jeans, Walking to Oblivion and my personal favourite/slight obsession, No Angels featuring Ella Eyre. This was a cover of TLC's No Scrubs. Other People's Heartache was unfortunately taken down however I am certain you can still access most of the songs on Bastille's original (not Vevo) Youtube account.
 
On the 27th of April 2012, their first official single was released; Overjoyed! This confirmed their recent record deal with Virgin. However the video was released in the November of 2011. Bad Blood was Bastille's second single and first official video on their Vevo channel, however Overjoyed and some previous videos were uploaded on their own Youtube channel - BASTILLEvideos. Later on in the year they released the third single from their upcoming album- Bad Blood, called Flaws. They had previously released it for a limited time only but it was re-released. The success of the track got them on the Official Top 40! In the February of 2013, the biggie, POMPEII was to be released, this got to number 2 in the charts. 
 
On the 4th of March 2014- BAD BLOOD, their debut album was released. Later on in the year Laura Palmer and Things We Lost in the Fire were released as EP's. On the 9th of October Of the Night was released, it is a mashup of old schools hits: Rhythm is a Dancer and Rhythm of the Night. Personally I love this track!
The Tracklist for Bad Blood is:
  1. Pompeii
  2. Things We Lost in the Fire
  3. Bad Blood
  4. Overjoyed
  5. These Streets
  6. Weight of Living pt 2
  7. Icarus
  8. Oblivion
  9. Flaws
  10. Daniel in the Den
  11. Laura Palmer
  12. Get Home
  13. (Bonus Track, on my download it was Weight of Living pt 1)
  14.  
 
 
Now, this got me super excited because on the 25th of November 2013, Bastille released All This Bad Blood, an addition to Bad Blood. The first disk is the same as Bad Blood and the second disk is split into two parts
  • Part 1 - All This Bad Blood - songs from released EP's
  • Part 2 - Other People's Heartache- songs from Other People's Heartache
 
 
  1. Poet
  2. The Silence
  3. Haunt (Demo)
  4. Weight Of Living Part 1
  5. Sleepsong
  6. Durban Skies
  7. Laughter Lines
  8. Previously on Other People's Heartache
  9. Of The Night
  10. The Draw
  11. What Would You Do
  12. Skulls
  13. Tuning Out
 
After the success of both albums and all six, I have lost count, EP's, they were nominated for 4 Brit Awards! Best British Breakthrough Act, British Act, British Single of the Year with Pompeii and British Album of the Year with Bad Blood. They won Best British Breakthrough Act! I was so pleased and I used all of my e-mail addresses to vote for them! They have also picked up awards for Best Cover Woodie at the MTVU Woodie Awards with their BBC Live Lounge cover of We Can't Stop- Miley Cyrus! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pZi7CXE2ac&index=27&list=RD2cuR_Vi6vas
 
 
The Band have been touring America recently and are hopefully working on Album Number 2 or is it 3? Maybe 2 and 1/2 haha! Anyway, I hope you have enjoyed this because I adore this band and I am going to do a little list of my favourite 5 Bastille songs (even though I love them all!)
 
  1. No Angels
  2. Walking to Oblivion
  3. Sleepsong
  4. Oblivion
  5. Laughter Lines
Thanks for reading

(When I read this through, it kind of seems like an essay on Bastille haha! But I enjoy their music so yeah aha!x)
 

Chapter 1: The Facts- continued

Hi everyone, last week's anxiety post was about GAD, so to continue with what I was doing I am going to, as promised, talk about SAD or social anxiety disorder. I do not suffer with this condition as such; however I am a very shy person around new people. I don't know why this is, but I have always been a very shy and socially anxious person- for example, when all the other kids would get up to do a dance at a party I would always be the last person and might I add, with a heck of a lot of persuasion. Even now, at my drama club, I detest improvisation because I am constantly thinking what if other people laugh at me? I also have a really bad 'phobia'? of answering the phone- if it rings and it is someone other than my mum, dad, nan or gramps, it will go to voicemail! I don't know why this is but I am just really afraid of it, like I don't even know what I am scared about answering a phone haha!  So, that was a little background on me and SAD, sort of, now into the facts:
 
Social Anxiety Disorder
 
Okay, so SAD is more than just shyness and can cause intense feelings of fear and panic when completing everyday tasks, like me- talking on the phone or going to the shops. Suffers might be afraid of doing or saying something embarrassing or humiliating. SAD can severely impact and disrupt everyday life and interaction with other people, hence leaving the sufferer feeling isolated or alone. If you are displaying these signs, perhaps go and have a consolation with your GP:
 
  • Dread everyday activities such as:
-meeting strangers
-talking in groups
-starting conversations
-going shopping
-talking to figures of authority
-eating or drinking in groups
 
  • Have low self esteem and you feel insecure about your relationships
  • Fear criticism
  • Avoid eye contact
  • Misuse of drugs and alcohol to reduce anxiety
  • Panic attacks, I am not going to go into detail about panic attacks because I want to do a whole blog post on it!
 
There is no actual proven cause for SAD however the NHS do think that genes and a contribution of other factors are to blame. Anxiety UK think that parents may play a part in developing SAD, they think that children who had parents like this could have a higher possibility in developing SAD:
  • Overprotective
  • Not affectionate enough
  • Constantly criticising you, fear you aren't doing well enough
  • Worrying about your manners and appearance, more than the average person
  • Exaggerating "STRANGER DANGER"
 
Again, like GAD treatment usually begins with CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) (more explanation in previous post) and then moving on to SSRI's if the CBT is inconclusive. However there can be some nasty side effects of SSRI's, here are just a few:
  • feeling sick
  • blurred vision
  • dizziness
  • insomnia (sleeping problems)
If the above treatments are not working for you then psychotherapy could be a possibility, this involves talking with a trained professional about your anxiety, this could be one-to-one, in a group or with your parents, wife, husband or partner. Psychotherapy for SAD usually works on building on social skills and interaction, and will consist of around 25-30 sessions over a span of 8 months.
 
I hope that this post has been fairly helpful for any SAD sufferers- please check back within the week for more posts on anxiety, music and beauty!

(ps. I wrote my GCSE creative writing coursework on a therapy session with somebody with panic disorder- so I may take snippets of that in my next post which will be on Panic Disorder)
