It's natural and 'human' for us to see the 'New Year' as a time for change, progression, or new beginnings. But Mental Illness is no respecter of time. It does not recognize a 'new season' and it does not take a holiday. Use every day as a time for change and/or renewal. Today is your day to make a small change. Yesterday is gone. You may never get 'well' but you can be better. Hope lies in small...

It's always tempting to try to set a 'new years' resolution (NYR). However a NYR can be detrimental to your mental health because you may be setting yourself up to fail. Every day is a 'new day' with mental illness. Your success or failure of yesterday does not determine your today. Today is a new day, yesterday is gone. Choose to do what you need to do today to get 'better'.

Suicide Ideation - What is it? What does it feel like? Today we'll help you understand this concept.   Also available as a video podcast at https://youtu.be/xFprb3jcOYU Suicidal ideations (SI), often called suicidal thoughts or ideas, is a broad term used to describe a range of contemplations, wishes, and preoccupations with death and suicide. There is no universally accepted consistent defin...

The sad fact is that suicide rates will increase exponentially over the Christmas period.  All the Christmas cheer, talk of family and hope, pushes some over the edge as they see what others are perceived to have and, by contrast, what they do not have.   #anxiety #depression #agoraphobia #mentalhealth #overcome, #anxiety #exposure #therapy #panicattacks #recoverfromanxiety #anxietysympt...

The Mental Illness/Health sector is broken! Mental health practitioners are over extended, wait lists for treatment are horrendous and the rate of suicide is increasing exponentially. Of all the money invested in the Mental Health sector only a tiny amount is being turned toward research. The question is 'how can we fix a problem we don't understand'? We are trying to fix a car with a blown engine...

There is no greater made up proverb than 'Carer, care for thyself!' The first rule of 'Duty of Care', is to make sure that YOU are safe. If you are incapacitated, exhausted, broken etc you cannot care for those around you. You are important too. Don't forget to look after yourself!
