đź’ Mental Health Check-In Time đź’
We all know January can be a tough month. Days are short, the weather’s grim, and Blue Monday – even if it's a travel industry invention – can feel a little too real. So, how are you holding up?
Personally, I’m feeling better than I have in a while. Cutting out alcohol (a depressant, after all!) has been a game changer for my mood and energy. I’ve also been getting outside more, and diving into my art and writing has kept my creativity alive.
If you’re feeling a bit wobbly, know this: you’re not alone. Sometimes just speaking up and saying, “I’m not okay,” is enough to lighten the load. There’s always someone out there to listen, so don’t bottle it up – let it out. Talking does help.
Let’s check in with each other. What’s been working for you this month? Drop a comment, share your wins or your struggles. If you’re in a dark spot, remember – reaching out is a strength, not a weakness.
Take care, keep moving forward, and remember – the small things you do to take care of yourself matter. 🌟 |

Nice thread op, well done
Am slightly hopeful may get a way forward as going through assessment with new mh team though I worry nothing will work and I will have to live with my thoughts for ever and always be on guard to not give into them |

  It's ok to not be ok and sometimes you just need to reach out from the darkness for someone to give a helping hand into the light
Please don't suffer in silence it's not worth it
Please beautiful fab people remember that you are the reason someone has smiled today

 Lovely thread OP ❤️ Glad you're feeling a little better.
I'm okayish, it really depends on the day and the pain level atm. Thankfully I've had a couple of easier days over the weekend which meant I could get out and do something, helped me feel a bit more normal. Back at work this week too so hopefully that will help a little just by getting back to some normality. |

I’d say i’m okay and hanging in there.
Things I can’t control and have to leave be. Things I can, I try and sort out.
Meh in general terms, could use some hope/upswing, but so could everyone.
Keep going as there’s no other option |

"I'm feeling positive and good in myself, a step in the right direction from last week. How're you OP? "
I'm in a good place at the moment, well a far better place than two weeks ago. |

"We've had a tough time lately and I'm glad we have each other. It's so tough for people alone but I find keeping a diary helps me. And it always helps to get some outside perspective "
I write in one way or another every day be it my journal, my blog, poetry or my social media groups. |
