Ye, go for it.
I'm trying to figure all that out at the moment.
I "woke up" to realising I have been depressed 🫥 for 5 years (except, it's actually 7 or 8 years because COVID just fucked my perception of time). I've not been myself, I've not been happy with myself, and I have just kept on going as usual cause it's the easy route.
I'm trying to fix it, and fuck me is it hard.

Thankfully, I was chatting to a friend. And they started talking about their mental health, their journey and all that. And that's what made me realise I should get help.
One of the things they said that stuck with me was "just keep talking about it". And that's everything from people genuinely asking how you are, to actually asking for help.

For sure, how about we make January mental health month in !Scotland and encourage all to share. Mine has been shattered by the arrival of children

How about

week 1: sharing - we all could benefit from talking

week 2: caring - I'm sure we all know someone that is struggling and have helped in some way, and we should recognise those efforts too

week 3: hoping - for wishful thinking, or things that are missing in our society

week 4: coping - what actually helps you? What can we recommend?

Threads on a Monday? Try to do something for a charity perhaps too? Though trickier online

I'd be happy to join in too, I'm quite a good listener and having been around the block a bit might be able to help out. Tell me what you are feeling!
