    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be.

    I have been volunteering for an organisation called Hullo it’s an organisation that helps tackle isolation by giving everyone over the 18 a free relaxed conversation.

    That sounds wonderful @Durhamjaide :)

    Thanks so much for helping people <3

    Make sure you are looking after yourself too @Past User <3

    Revision is important and that kind of productivity can make us feel great but it is also important to make sure you are resting :3

    If you can't sleep, could you listen to relaxing music or watch a favourite film? <3

    It's understandable you can't always sleep the whole night through @Past User :3

    Just make sure your usual sleep hours are spent on taking care of yourself!

    Netflix sounds like a great plan :3

    The revision is not so much unless you are under tight deadlines.

    The revision can come when you would usually timetable it in from! <3

    I hear you @Past User. Just make sure you are balancing your A levels revision and taking care of yourself :)

    I understand that sometimes we feel we need to work around the clock for the best grades. This is especially the case when we are approaching deadlines/exams.

    However, sleep, exercise, rest, and a balanced diet are also important in enabling us to perform at our best and retain information too.

    How is your revision going for you? :3

    Hi @Past User

    I am really glad to hear revision is going well for you :)

    UpLearn sounds like a fabulous study resource! Thanks for sharing it with us

    Talking to yourself can be helpful. I also find writing my thoughts down on paper helps me! <3

    This is especially the case if I can also answer my own thoughts when I have a clear head

    Just make sure you are talking positively to yourself and being kind and patient with yourself :)

    Got up and worked out, even though I felt so tired and depressed. It always makes me feel a little better to move my body :)

    Thank you for sharing @Brookee <3. It can be really tough to find the motivation to work out, especially at this time of the year. How are you feeling today?

    There’s a great article on The Mix called “Can exercise beat anxiety and depression?” with lots of handy tips on how exercise can help your mental health.

    Here's the link: https://themix.org.uk/mental-health/mental-health-treatments/can-exercise-beat-anxiety-and-depression-5832.html

    Let us know how you’re doing and if you have any tips to share for an exercise routine, we’re here for you 😊.

    @HarryIsHere thank you so much for your kindness and support! It means a great deal, I’m feeling much better today, I managed to get out for a walk which was really helpful!

    Thank you for the link to the article! I will definitely give that a read!

    I recently invested in an exercise app called Tone and Sculpt and it’s so empowering and sorts out all the workouts for you and has meal options, 5 different trainers with different styles and a lovely supportive community so that’s been such an amazing help in keeping me motivated to work out! But I also find getting out for a walk, even just 10 minutes is so refreshing and energising, particularly at this time of year when there’s little light!

    I hope you’re doing really well too Harry! Sending you love <3

    Got up in decent time today and managed to have some vague routine to the day :)

    Always good @Mike :3

    Instead of letting a broken laptop ruin my day, I showered to feel better and then thought about potential solutions!

    I had my hair washed and got a haircut today. I also got the massive matted part of my hair sorted out.
