Are you aware of when you're giving away too much of your time, energy and effort?A lot of the people I know who are really into self development, psychology, and mental health/well-being say how in-tune they are with their bodies.Some can pick up immediately on physical symptoms that let them know that they’re stressed. Others even notice if they’ve consumed a type of food or an ingredient that their body is sensitive to, and it made me wonder how ...

Why do some people seem to disagree but never argue? Some couples manage to get along despite their differences and never end up having heated rows, so what's their secret? Most of the time, when we communicate with people, we interact. When they tell us a story, we can't wait to add a comment or two to show how what they're saying relates to our own experiences and how this means we understand exactly what they mean. However, when we do this, we're not fully...

Money. It's on most of our minds. Turn on the news and someone will be talking about how there is too little of it, how we're printing too much of it or how the value random commodities go up and down in a way that doesn't really make sense. When it's difficult enough to keep tab of your own finances, the ups and downs of the global financial market seem like something of a mystery.

As with many aspects of parenting, weaning has become a battleground of expert advice and warring philosophies, leaving many parents feeling confused about what’s best. Where to start?If you’ve had a baby in the UK in more or less the last decade, you’ll have been told that the best way to feed them is to exclusively breastfeed for six months. Same goes if your baby is bottlefed; milk feeds for six months are the way to go because their digestive system isn’t ...

While most people would willingly acknowledge that many women can experience issues with sexual desire and arousal, can we definitively say that this is a medical disorder? Would giving such complex problems a 'catch all' label help or hinder those who need to seek treatment? This week the 41st Maudsley Debate at the Institute of Psychiatry aimed to tackle this with an event entitled Love is a Drug.

Why does society still deem a relationship between an older woman and a younger man to be news- or gossip-worthy? It appears that ageism is still rather taboo for some.When kids first start to show an interest in the opposite sex, girls usually go for older boys because boys their own age are considered to be far too immature. Once we've all passed puberty and have left full-time education - where everything revolves around spending time wit...

Sometimes little things annoy me. I’m quite a patient person most of the time, but there will be little things that tip me over the edge into griping and complaining. I’m not alone in this, life can be irritating for everyone, and never is this more the case than when it is our own bodies letting us down. Some things, which seem like they should be so logically simple, just aren’t that easy for us to do, and it has gotten me wondering why with these things our bodies have yet to evolve…...

This is the time of the year when it's more common to complain about the state of your health than the weather. I'm not the only Bitchbuzz writer who's been confined to the couch with the flu, but I hope this experience has at least made me stronger. And better versed in how to waste time online.

It’s January. We can bet you have dusted off your trainers, dug out the gym card and signed up for another healthy eating plan to get those pounds shifting.
It’s now halfway through the month that sees most of us embark on a crazy regime that is unmanageable and unsustainable until we find a routine that works. How are you doing? Hopefully you may have made some headway and worked off the Christmas party calories at least, but maybe you aren’t feeling as healthy as you w...

I am not the only person to have spent what feels like forever clogged up with the dreaded lurgy. Almost everyone I know has had this winter’s particularly nasty cold/flu bug, which has been sweeping my friendship groups with a ferocity I don’t think I have ever actually seen before.
If you have been afflicted, you’ll know it – that long and debilitating period of proper flu, then the slow and horrible recovery period that goes through coughs, snuffles, headaches and sinusitis....
