I will be talking about self-harm in this video, if you feel this may be triggering please do not watch but consider looking at some of the below links. This is a pretty tough subject to talk about as it has a huge amount of stigma surrounding it. However, the more we talk, the easier it will be to talk and hopefully those suffering can access the help they need. I have now been self harm free ...

Hello and thank you for watching. Today's vlog is about reconnecting with yourself by reconnecting with nature. When I am super overwhelmed I go for a walk in nature, my favourite place is Sherwood Forest, but it could even be to the local park. Practicing mindfulness whilst walking amongst nature helps me to work through my thoughts and return to a place of peace within my mind. Also apologies...

Hello and thank you for watching Day 20 of my MH vlogmas. Today I talk about managing your mental health during the Christmas season. I find I always push myself too much at Christmas so this year I am going to be a lot kinder to myself. I talk through some of the main tips but the Mind website has many more so please do check it out. www.mind.org.uk/information-support/tips-for-everyday-living...

Hello and thank you for watching. Today I talk about stress and vulnerability. Stress has the ability to tip us from a state of wellness into illness. Our level of vulnerability is what determines how much stress is enough to tip us over. Our experiences are completely unique to us therefore we should try not to compare our problems to others.

Hello and thank you for watching. Today's topic is panic attacks and how to assist someone who is having one. Acknowledge their feelings and let them know that they are safe, you are there for them and the feelings will pass. If you experience panic attacks please feel free to share what helps you.

Hello and thank you for watching. Apologies for my voice today, I've got another cold and I am rather congested! Today's topic is physical vs mental health and how they are connected. Neither one is more important than the other and perhaps we should just be talking about health rather than trying to separate them.

Hello and thank you for watching. Today's topic is the importance of support networks. Having supportive and trusted friends and family around you can make the world of difference but if you really don't feel you can talk to them when you're struggling then there are loads of options to explore. Such as: General Practitioner NHS 111 for urgent advice that is not life-threatening Samaritans: www...

Hello and thank you for watching. Today's video is about knowing your limits. Finding a good work-life balance can be incredibly difficult but it is essential for maintaining good mental health. Being mindful of your limits and respecting them can help you to avoid burning out.

Hello, today's message is a simple one. Forgive yourself for the mistakes you make, only then can we move forward.

Hello and thank you for watching. Today I explain the difference between the medical and social model of disability. By applying the social model of disability we can remove barriers which can benefit everyone. So if we work together we can make this world more accessible to all.

Hello and welcome, this evening has been a tough one for me but I wanted to talk a little about hidden/invisible disabilities. We all know the saying don't judge a book by its cover and I really think we need to put this in practice more as we do not know the secret battles someone is fighting.

Hello, today's video focuses on eating disorders and although I felt very scared, I have shared some of my experience with an eating disorder. BEAT website for a fantastic wealth of information and help: www.beateatingdisorders.org.uk Body Positive Power by Megan Jayne Crabbe (this book literally changed my life and I will always be grateful to Megan for this book): www.amazon.co.uk/Body-Positi...

Hello and thank you for joining me today. I couldn't decide what topic I wanted to talk about so I decided to talk about anxiety and indecision. Journaling can be a really great tool in communicating with yourself to help decipher what is really going on in your mind. I also include a reading of one of my previous journal entries, gulp!

Hello and thank you for watching. Today I talk about social expectations and difficulties maintaining relationships when you are struggling with your mental health. Today I am struggling with pain and fatigue and a consequence of that is brain fog. So I thought I would share a little about how this affects me and how I communicate with people. I want to take this opportunity again to thank my a...
