The wellbeing thread.

I thought we could have a thread where we could talk about mental health and offer each other support and advice (not of the medical kind).

I'll start by sharing some useful mental health helplines.

I also have a blog which I don't post on much but you might find useful.

To get the ball rolling, let's start by saying how we are doing generally at the moment. How are you?

I am feeling okay. I have felt a bit drained recently but it has been Ramadan for the past month, and I've been working.

I've struggled to be kind to myself.

I am sorry to hear that. I hope you can start being kind to yourself now.
