It’s okay to not be okay ❤️🩹 Today is World Mental Health Day.
There is always hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. The world breaks everyone and afterward, some are strong at the broken places. Mental ill health affects around 1 in 4 adults in England. Young people are especially at risk with around 1 in 5 young people between the ages of 8 and 25 developing a mental health condition.
TW (Please skip over this next section if you need to): There are around 20 Su*3id3’s across the UK every day. The systems put on place that are meant to help are crumbling apart and are not receiving enough support and funding. More people than ever are struggling but if there is anything I can do to help show people, there is light on the other side of the tunnel, I am living proof that others can also reach the other side of despair and climb out of the tunnel and into the light.
Always an open book, here are a few practical tips that i find help me when I’m feeling low 💙
- Reaching out to a friend i’ve been meaning to for a while.
- Making a list of five things that bring me joy which serve as a reminder to do the things that bring me joy.
- Taking a short walk outside. Bonus points if the sun is out! Vitamin D is essential. Every person in the UK shoyld be taking Vit D during the winter months.
- Making a daily list of the tasks I need to do most, the night before the following day and ticking tasks off as I go for a little dopamine boost and sense of achievement.
Your mental health matters. And if you’re reading this, know you are never alone in your worries and struggles. My inbox is always open and there are always lots of organisations with helplines who can offer further support.
