    Hello everyone hope you're all ok tonight 

    @GreenTea aww sweet of you to think of me! I'm alright just getting through each day one by one. How are you? I hope things are a bit better 


    Sorry was playing a game and then slipped into a negative state so went to bed.
    I'm really struggling at the moment. I feel like I'm really having to force myself to keep pushing forward.
    I'm a week self harm free though. So many times this week I've had to fight through how I felt.. kinda proud of myself

    Also happy world mental health day!

    What one thing will you do today to improve your mental health?

    I'm going to do some tasks that I've assigned myself and paint my nails ;D

    @Salix_alba_2019 good morning!

    Great thing to ask!
    Today I have a date this afternoon and then meeting a friend for some chill time! Will get me out the house. I get into such a bad habit of isolating myself from friends!

    Good morning everyone!! <3

    @GreenTea that’s fantastic that you’re a week self harm free!! I’m really proud of you, I know how tough it is. 

    @Salix_alba_2019 oooh that’s a good question!! I’m not sure but might go for a walk to get out of the house lol

    Thank you! 
    I tend to neglect myself of social time, I keep having to remind myself that actually, going out with friends will make me feel somewhat better than sitting home on my own doing nothing!

    @GreenTea I’m not too bad thanks :)

    I hope you have a great day with your friends, I find that as well I neglect going out but when I do (and that’s so occasional as I don’t have a lot of friends haha) I feel a bit better as well.

    @independent_ A walk sounds lovely too!

    It doesn't matter how big or small the action is, it's always worthwhile when it comes to nurturing your mental health. Maybe you could squeeze in your favourite songs during your walk or listen to you a positive podcast, feed some ducks or birds too

    You're absolutely deserving and worthy of some kindness, always ;)

    Hiya @GreenTea I’ve been pretty good the past few months. Not so much now but not doing horribly just struggling a little. I’ve missed coming on here though, I’ve just been so busy. Aha. Hope your alright <3

    Today I’m not even going to go on social media as much as I do - every year people talk about mental health for this day and it’s accepted snd then Tommrow it will go back it being massively stigmatised and that’s not far lol 

    I have no choice but to do the training @GreenTea got a angry letter form head office for not completing my online training 😂

    @Millie2787 I agree about social media today. That’s the trouble with all these specific awareness days some people only recognise it’s a thing for the one day when actually people have to deal with it every single day of their lives.

    @independent_ I'm doing alright. My emotions have been very much all over the place because of last night. 

    I think I'm feeling a bit more positive now but still feeling very open and raw.

    @independent_ I get the importance  of awareness days but as soon as the day or week is over it goes back to be massively stigmatised and as for funding that’s what is truly needed is funding and not for people to be pushed to pillar to post especially right now

    @Starlight glad to hear you'll hopefully get to meet up with your friends. Social interaction is so important especially during these times! Hopefully it helps you feel less overwhelmed. 

    Thank you! I've had lots of support which is amazing <

    Thanks @independent_ I appreciate that ❤️ I think it was just a lot to take in at one go. But it's definitely cleared the air and hopefully is on the path to better things.

    I know I’m extremely lucky to be in an area not currently under strict rules/ in lockdown but I still feel so isolated and lonely, especially seeing others I’d consider to be my “friends” go out and not invite me and I only find out through Instagram and Snapchat that hurts a little.

    Honestly it's horrible when friends do that. 

    Just because you may have lesser lockdown restrictions doesn't mean your feelings aren't valid.
