Collect Your Thoughts Part II (It's OK Not To Be OK)

https://wroykommutr.bandcamp.com/track/collect-your-thoughts-part-ii-its-ok-not-to-be-ok

I found out today that it's #itsoknottobeok until you show symptoms, talk about it, ask for support or be 'Inconvenient' hmmm. Xo

This is the face of someone who had full intentions of going to the gym tonight but ended up crying into a pillow for a good hour instead. Check on the people you care about and make sure that they are ok - don’t ever take anything for granted.

In #Korea, #ItsOkNotToBeOk, but not ok to be ok and for an #Espa #kpop star to have a boyfriend...

Into the wind
A lone tree

Unplanned resistance training on my 5k run today as it was blowing a gale.

I’m running a 5K in the Inverness Half Marathon on 10th March supporting a local mental health charity, http://mikeysline.co.uk/

@AnnaAnthro @RomanticIsa I'm at episode 7 and this #kdrama is one of the best!

Over Xmas and New Year had a heavy cold and chest infection. I was inundated with offers of help, food and gifts being dropped off. People checking in on me.

Now my depression and eating disorders are biting. I reach out and you could hear the crickets and see the tumble weed. Short terse messages or ignored. That's why I don't believe the, 'reach out for help or the #itsoknottobeok looks good on social media and that's about it. Xo

Sometimes the simple actions can make the biggest impact.

Your kindness can change the trajectory of someone's day or live.

Be Kind to others.

It’s #WorldMentalHealthDay today and it’s possibly one of the worst days of the year for the spread of toxic positivity and I hate it with every inch of my fibre.

People who have never had any issues with their mental health sharing patronising and smug memes saying shite like #ItsOkNotToBeOk

Or posting “tips” on how to manage your mental health like “go for a walk” “eat healthy”.

Seriously, fuck off! You’ve no idea mate!

Stop Scrolling. It’s #TimeToTalk day tomorrow

Did you know that 1 in 4 of us will experience a Mental Health problem in any given year?

This is exactly the reason why we chose #MentalHealth and #Wellbeing as our first #Amplify topic - to encourage people to talk more and often, share important stories and also show the crucial role that creativity plays in our health and wellbeing.

Make sure you check in with those around you

Welp, although I’m very happy with the support and connections here, I’m taking a break for a while for family stuff. I’ll share more when I have permission. I might peak in for #Wildlife or #Pet #Photos I’ll be ok. #ItsAlrightToCry #TherapistsConnect #ItsOkNotToBeOk #Grief Check out the YouTube of former #NFL #Rams Rosey Grier singing “It’s Alright to Cry” from the 1974 “Free to be You and Me” special by #MarloThomas and friends. I can’t figure out how to add it now. #Timeless

This time of year can be difficult, I have struggled over the past few Christmas but found the key for me is not to let the fear overwhelm me and to have a simple plan of what to do on the day, an 8-mile walk this morning followed by a good few hours on the PlayStation. Wherever this finds you I hope you are safe, well and happy. If not, please don't be afraid to reach out. #joinin #ItsOKNotToBeOK

The past cannot be changed
You are not your thoughts
Take one step at a time
Leave judgements at the door
You’re allowed time out
Asking for help doesn’t make you weak
Saying ‘no’ doesn’t make you a bad person
you’re a badass

Ngl struggling with my depression the last few days

Thank you to everyone for being so welcoming and kind here I really appreciate it.

A little bit of kindness goes a long way
