Mental Health Discussion

[BZN]

Thank you for the message 🥰 it's appreciated.

And thank you to all who commented and checked in, too. I took a couple of days off work, slept, watched some telly had some quiet time with hubby, a big cry, then slapped a smile on my face, walked for my One Foot Forward (hut my fund-raising goal, and am halfway to my km one) and am ready to go and visit my young friend in hospital 🤞hoping he's well enough for a visit today

Yep, life can be a bloody hard slog at times, and I know you have had your share.
Keep your walking going at least every 2nd day as it produces feel good hormones, but I'm sure you know that already, so this is just a reminder.

NO GROG as it doesn't help in the long run, only makes things worse...and I'm talking from experience here and gave up drinking alcohol of any sort about 35 years ago.

And lastly...find a psychologist or even a Social Worker/Nurse to download your feelings onto.
If you are open and honest with him/her they can definitely help you.
But you must be prepared to open up fully and tell it like it is as they are trained in body language and will know if you are bullshitting.

This is from QUORA.COM and written by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who is a Democrat Congresswoman in the U.S.A.

My dad died when I was 18.
My mom scrubbed toilets and drove school buses.
I bartended to help her and still won a Congressional primary at 28.

I'll take my family over a fat bank account any day, and my experience makes me a better legislator.

I am the people I work for.

Some people are just born with the right stuff, courage, determination to do the right thing and help others.
How many of us are guilty of not using the gifts we were given at birth?

The famous Pommie actor has said...
Distance is the only answer to disrespect.
Don't argue, don't react.
Don't get involved in drama.
Simply remove your presence.
Edit...oh shoot, I left the actors name out...Rowan Atkinson.

I stand by this. I ghosted someone I had known my entire life. Some friends don't want you to succeed they just compare themselves to you. I never regret just cutting them off, disrespect doesn't deserve a response.

Best advice ever. Cut the fat. There are people in your lives that just bring you down to lift themselves up. Drop em like a Woolies bag when the bottom gives out.

Let this thread be an outlet for people who are genuinely struggling with their mental health. Take the politics crap elsewhere.

Yeah, though politically targeted minorities, and even the female majority on occasion, can directly struggle with mental health because of policies and the rhetoric of their supporters.

Elsewhere should be a dedicated thread on here, just like it had been for more than a decade.
