Quirk Of Life

I know it’s tough and sometimes the tough times feel like forever. But you didn’t come this far to only come this far. So use the things that helped get here and fight again today. One step at a time.

Filling your cup is to replenish those stores of mental, emotional, and physical energy. It means that you need to stop, have a break and focus on recharging your batteries. You wouldn’t expect nor accept to let your phone run flat or off a depleted battery, would you? A device cannot run when the battery has no energy to give. Give it energy, give YOURSELF energy first.

Today is the benchmark. Checking in on your mates doesn’t stop after today, make it a regular thing. People don’t just battle demons on R U OKAY day, they face them every single day. You sitting down and having a conversation with them can be what keeps them on this earth. Ask the question, listen and be a top mate.

Did you know that each year in Australia we lose approximately 3139 people to su***de? That’s just shy of 9 a day and it’s now at a point where it’s unknown how many attempt each year, with the estimate being over 65000 people. It’s joe the LEADING cause of death for Australians between the ages of 15-44. If this doesn’t break your heart then I don’t what would. We as society can help change this. Take part by starting a conversation with a loved one and really check in with them. One conversation can save a life.

I break my leg. You sign my cast.
I have depression. You tell me to just smile it’s nothing. But why? Where the difference? Whilst you might not be able to physically see mental health conditions, that doesn’t take away the complexity and reality to them. Listen, support and educate yourself around mental health conditions. Being understanding might be what saves someone life.

Life is full of surprises and we can change directions at any point, so try not to get all caught up in having your life all figured out. You don’t need to, take it as it comes and go down the paths that you think are right at that time. Answers are overrated and spending time finding them all takes away your time, you can’t get that back. Focus on your now. You’ll figure it all out over time.

𝐒𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐥?

Some people get sick of hearing and reading about mental health and su***de. I get it, it’s a s**tty topic.

For me it’s a reality, I live with it. I live with the grief from losing to su***de, suicidal thoughts myself and having mental health struggles of my own. So I get it, it’s s**t.

But it’s is my life now, I’m just navigating it and spreading awareness.
