This week it’s sharing stories. I’d like to invite you to share a time of difficult mental health; past or present, yours or someone else’s. We know there was a stigma to sharing, but the fediverse is open, caring, and listening and it’s 2024

    I’m generally quite a resilient person and I kinda get on with life, so when bad things happen I try to rationalise and put my level head on. The last year or 2 have been peppered with difficulties and I am still hopeful of positive outcomes but I have an over thinking, pessimistic brain. I know I haven’t felt great over the festive period. Quite happy to hibernate at home and not see many folk but hoping when I get back to work my mood lifts a bit!

      The winter nights takes their toll on us in Scotland for sure. I always find it easier the other side of the new year, the six nations approaches!

        I’m trying to see the positives of heading into the new year and at the moment just not that bothered! Six nations is March time?? Then we have the Euros for the football!!

          First weekend in Feb, and it finishes March. But it signals so much to me and being annual it gives hope eternal, the longer days, spring’s arrival, and social occasions galore, away days pre kids. It’s always a positive, usually a highlight too

            Yeah the longer days definitely make it a better time!
