It's #mentalhealthawarenessweek so I thought I wou

It's #mentalhealthawarenessweek so I thought I would add my 2 cents.
Often when we talk about "mental health" we mostly talk about depression and anxiety. There are two things to bear in mind about this.
Firstly: there are so many more mental health issues than just depression and anxiety - and we really need more awareness about the ones that don't fit neatly with a questionnaire and a packet of SSRI antidepressants. These are the conditions we need to be more aware of, so that we can better support and care for ourselves and the people around us.
Secondly, a conversation about mental health that talks only about those two conditions is like a discussion about physical health that only talks about the common cold. It's mental *health* - and to me that means more than just not having a diagnosable mental illness. It means everyone taking as much care of their mental health as their physical health. Actually these days most of the things I do for my health are more for my mental health than physical health.
Mental health is not just about having a neat set of symptoms that fall into a category making for easy diagnosis and treatment.
For me it's about being mentally well - or working towards that.
And having a mental health awareness week is great, if we're going to use it to make ourselves aware of the huge variety of mental health issues that can arise in a person's life - and then to use that awareness to bring more kindness, understanding and compassion to our interactions with each other.

mental health follow up. I made a video to follow

mental health follow up. I made a video to follow up on last week's video. It took me 3 attempts because I've only had 4 hours sleep and can't stick with one train of thought.
But it's Mental Health Awareness Week so I thought I'd have a chat.

What are you grateful for today? Here is my list:

What are you grateful for today?
Here is my list:
💥 I did not get rained on during the school runs today
💥 S has started going into school on her own; it's a bit sad that she doesn't need me to go in with her, but I'm also very proud of how independent and sensible she is
💥 Despite my head being all over the place today, I did manage to finish 2 pieces of work
💥 A quiet evening sitting on my bed, reading with the window open & birds singing
💥 S opting to use a large chunk of her reading time this evening laying on my bed cuddling me

Photo is a selfie I took on the way home from school. We took a short detour through the park and she was busy watching a robin on a branch so wouldn't pose for a selfie... So I stole one!

What are you grateful for today? Here's my list...

What are you grateful for today?
Here's my list...
💜 Getting us both up & out of the house early for a walk
💜 The look on S's face when she managed to complete the monkey bars for the first time
💜 Finding ways to calm and regulate my body and mind
💜 Actually getting some boring housework done today
💜 Time to sit and read in peace

Photo is of S on our way home from the park earlier, realising that as well as nailing the monkey bars today, she is also now tall enough to see over the side of the Railway bridge. (Thinking about it, I think I was about 11 before I could see over the side of that bridge)

S is very proud of herself today.
Two weeks ago she started trying to do the monkey bars. For an entire afternoon, she climbed up, swung onto the first rung and then fell - and then got up and did it again.
Since then, we've been back to the park at the weekends, and she has tried again and again and again.
Today she finally made it all the way across to the other side and she is so pleased.
Resilience is apparently one of the school values and we have talked a lot about the idea that her getting up and trying again and again is a bigger achievement than if she had just swung right across on her first try.
Now I'm wondering what her next goal will be...

How is your Sunday going?
For reasons yet to become clear, we got up early and walked to the park in the rain, arriving at a time that on a Sunday can only be referred to as shit o clock.
I had not yet had time for coffee; S had eaten only half a breakfast, deciding the more exciting half should be purchased from the Co-op near the park.
This is the face of a child who has tried so hard at the monkey bars, she now has blisters on both hands - and she is very proud of them!
The good news is that by 10am I had already taken more steps than I managed all day yesterday. And now I'm back on my beanbag, reading the Sunday supplements and drinking coffee. Happy Sunday. 💙
