"you can't change others but you can change yourself".
Which of the lines below resonate for you this morning?
Do you worry about things that you can't control?
It's useful to draw 3 circles and write in the things you worry about which
* you can control eg your moods
* you can influence eg how people treat you
* you can't control eg war

“It’s okay to feel this way right now.”
When I heard that, I could finally take a breath. I needed to know that it was okay to feel how I was feeling in the moment — rather than bury my emotions and pretend they didn’t exist.

Safety plans are useful to get you through suicidal moments or hours. Link in @Liz_ORiordan 's post below.

These photos were taken just hours apart. Mental illness can be invisible. When my friends thought I was at my happiest, I was often on the brink of despair, crippled with depression from my twenties.
I’ve been suicidal twice - both times as a consultant surgeon
Lonely, overwhelmed and scared to admit what I was feeling.
I hid it from friends, colleagues and HR for twenty years. I was embarrassed and ashamed that I didn't want to live. I talked about my mental health for the first time in my memoir 'Under The Knife' because I no longer worked as a doctor and I didn't need to worry about what my patients might say if they found out.
StayingSafe.net helped me create a safety plan and got me through the crisis points until I could get proper help.

As a breast cancer patient I found myself overwhelmed with gut-wrenching anxiety, scanxiety, fear of recurrence, survivor's guilt. Why had no-one told me this was part of the collateral damage?
If this is you, ask your breast care nurse if your local cancer centre provides free counselling. I've had it twice and it saved my life. Talk to your GP. I take proudly Citalopram to keep my brain more or less on the straight and narrow
I am no longer ashamed of having a mental illness. I now know that it is not my fault.
Mental health awareness is not just a wave of quotes. Mental health awareness is brutal and not-so-easy on the eye.
World Mental Health Day 2024 is for yesterday, today, and every day to come. ❤️
You matter. Someone cares

Courage isn’t about being unbreakable
Nope
It means getting back up when you’ve been broken
It means putting yourself back together so you can do what needs to be done, for yourself and others
Happy #WorldMentalHealthDay

The biggest thing that has impacted my MH over the yrs has been trying to make everyone else happy. Be a good daughter, sister, wife, mother, employee. Do the “right” thing not what would made me feel happy or proud. Now I put myself first & know who I am,

We enjoyed our Team Day out at #Quarrymill Woodland Park today, near #Perth.
But there was sadness too as we bid a fond farewell to our Office Manager, Moira. That's a Rowan sapling, which we hope will flourish in her garden
Thank you, Moira, for 6 yrs, including lockdown.

I'm feeling stressed just now. Last week I felt it build, so I decided to practice what I preach - exercising, socialising, enjoying nature and meditating. My stress hasn't gone, but I calm.
What are your tips to de-stress?

Student feedback says it all:
