Calling all parents and caregivers.

Just watching the wee man and had a thought of reflection.

It’s hard when you’re working a lot, life’s hard and then you’re doing your best to raise kids or be a good friend, anything really.

I’m sitting here and feel that these little moments we all need to soak up these wee snips in life.

Suppose I’m saying life is made up of lots of these wee moments. Don’t forget them.

Who’s with me on this?

If your going through some s**t right now just know you’re not alone 🫶

With the ongoing struggles of therapy it’s got me looking and exploring deeper into my subconscious, with this comes a lot of quiet times and constant questioning.

Why if it’s going to make you question yourself?
Simple because right now I am the person I am because of my past and that may look good on the outside but to be the most affective therapist i can, I need to explore what my mind has hidden from me in order to grow.
Growing can be uncomfortable but with the right conditions and environment I and you will be able to be a better person for it. Each day I’m one step closer 🫶

From su***de to graduate

Getting to this level didn’t come easy for me, I don’t hide the fact that I came close to ending everything about 10years ago now and if I didn’t reach out for help I most definitely wouldn’t be here.

When I did reach out the last thing on my mind was going to learn again let alone a university degree. If you’re reading this you may pick up on a number of things but what I see is someone who has came from the pit of nothing and fought his way up so high that he’s now able to use his life along with the degree to help others that feel lost and hopeless.

I could list just 5 things that has happened to me and would shock you to your core and wonder how I even got through the day let alone a degree. Take this as hope and use it, believe in yourself 🫶

Yes you.

We all hear the new year new me bull£hit, right?

I don’t want that for you. What I want for you is to find yourself in 2024, find who you really are, don’t settle for anything less than you deserve.
Read, journal and discover the person on the inside.

Make 2024 the year I found me!

All my heart
Mentalhealthbylee xx

I’m thinking about plans for 2024 (hope you are to)
And I have a number of things I’d love to be at but just thought I’d ask you all what you’d like to see or see more off??

So comment below your thoughts and visions.

Need I say more 🤷‍♂️

Returning to .

So it hasn’t been the best of weeks for me personally with mums anniversary and things.
With my back holding up this past while I thought I would give spin class ago. The picture is b4 and after (after with the spin queen). Just look at my smile 😊

Feelings before: nervous, scared and anxious.

Feelings after: happy, energised, uplift, accomplishment, proud and feeling I am ready.

I knew myself that exercise is going to help and the added bonus of music, it gets me going like I’m ready for a night out.

So it was definitely a good choice to msg and book myself in. I’m going to start slowly and just go once a week and build myself back up.

Thanks to and co for welcoming me back again 🫶

I’m asking a massive favour.
I’m looking 3 refs for Wednesday evening 6 o’clock kickoff. It’s a friendly with under 15s.

Reason I’m asking for 3, ref and linesmen.

I got a red card at the weekend 🙈, not happy about it but it happened, I got very frustrated that the fact a lot of the goals were offside. I know it’s hard being a ref I get it, but you aren’t the one’s looking at the young boys faces drop, lose interest and most of the time give up. I have seen this time after time and quite frankly effecting their mental health, so I thought if I could ask a massive favour and see how it works with 3 refs, hopefully it would instil them to have a more positive outlook and experience.

Of money is an issue I will do my best and pay from my own pocket 🫶🫶🫶

For someone who openly talks.

I openly talk about mental health and my own personal experiences with it, I can never remember these dates on the calendar for mental health awareness.

By now you all know the same old stuff that floats around on su***de, e.g, go ask someone if they are okay bull 💩.

I’ll give you real talk right now… if you’d asked me if I was ok when I wanted to end my life, I would of said, “ oh f**k aye I’m grand “ went on in my car and do what I had planned to do.

The night I planned it I just had the massive fight with my parents and I thought about nothing else but what I wanted to do, so if you’d of seen my I’d of played alone with society and made you think I was 100%.

I hear far to often, “ohh you wouldn’t of thought that of him/her they were always so nice”.

So I tell you this don’t just ask or check in on someone,

look deep into their eyes,
look out for chances in their routines.

Theses are the things you can do, to really make change. 🫶

I’m quite embarrassed posting this, Why?

Why can’t I be over the moon with having a degree? Throughout my time in education again I haven’t felt good enough for it. I have learnt that this is due to my teachers not believing in me and labelling me, slow and lazy. So coming out with a 2.2 fells like I have failed in some way.

Having discovered I have dyslexia and a bloody uncommon one at that, with only 1% having it, then being told that my scores don’t reflect how far I’ve gotten in academia. Even reaching university is a huge achievement.

This goes to show that if your environment is reinforcing a certain belief you become that.
Now is the time to work on shaking this demon I have on my shoulder telling me I’m useless.

All my heart,

Mentalhealthbylee.

Just one more step!

I’ve almost reached another milestone.
I still haven’t came to terms that I’ve finished my degree and still yet to talk about how much a challenge that was for me.

This now is a credited course with more practical side and I will have clients during this course. I can not wait to get started and help whoever I can when possible.

All my heart,

Mentalhealthbylee

Daily reminder.

Something are just out of your control. If it’s out of your control, get it out of your mind.

You have more important stuff to fill your mind with ❤️❤️

All my heart,

Just wanting you to know mental health isn’t all negative,doom and gloom.

I talk often on my stories if you don’t already watch them🤙

IFA.

I had the pleasure of helping out deliver the “ A head of the game” program to a local football team, Heights fc. The program designed by IFA to help start that conversation and break down stigma surrounding mental health.
We had a fantastic turnout and I personally feel we have helped them all take something away and I want to say a massive thanks to them for being proactive within the club in bringing mental health to the forefront.

All my heart

Mentalhealthbylee.

If your club would like this programme then get in touch.

I was so pleased to be able to give back.

I enjoy my football, watching, playing and even coaching.

Let that sink in for a bit!!!

Be bold today and ask that someone if they are okay?

17 spins in 6days!

1st off,I take my hat off to connie who does this week in and week out.

What I learnt about myself during this task I set myself.
I can finish things.
My mind will still me to stop before my body is ready to.
The day’s I really felt weak and not really wanting to be there (Thursday & Friday morning) are the times I felt the best after class.
Feeding you body is important to keep this up.
Rest/sleep is key.
I understand my mind and body more.
I did give my 100% in all classes.

I’ve done other challenges before but for charity, pushing myself to the limits. If I new the tasks in hand was a challenging I would of raised money as a number of spinner’s in the classes were willing to donate.

On that note I’d like to say a big massive thanks to each and everyone at who really were behind me all the way, offering words of support before,during and after class. Not to forget the queen herself Big C. Not only did she help me every step of the way,she had to look at me for 6 days straight 😂, shouting and cursing for 17 classes. She deserves a medal 🏅.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart,

Lee c xox

What have I done 🫣

So as you all may be aware,I have been attending spin classes now for a few months and f**king loving so much.

Loving that much, I set myself a challenge to do every spin class as the spin queen does herself. (18 classes)

Day one is tomorrow morning at 6am. I’ll be over on my stories to share my thoughts as I do most day’s.

Wish me luck everyone!!

All my heart ❤️

Following on with things to do and keep relaxed. Today I did a spin class in the morning and then headed off to do this,

With a McDonald’s to finish the day right.

I hope everyone had a great summer and we’re very kind to yourself ❤️

All my heart ❤️

Mentalhealthbylee xx

What about you time?

If you are seeing this then you have to take an hour for yourself and do something you want. That’s just 60mins

One thing I have wanted to do all summer was read one of my books and just relax and have a clear mind while doing it.

Completed it mate ✅
