Thank you for the overwhelming support. If anyone out there is feeling low please reach out there are people out there willing to support and help and will understand where you are at. Stay strong , keep well and be kind . 🙏
What people never understand is that depression isn't about the outside; it's about the inside. Something inside me is wrong. There are things in my life that make me feel alone, but nothing makes anyone feel more isolated and terrified than the voice inside their heads.
#bekind
If you see someone falling
behind, walk beside them. If
you see someone being
ignored, find a way to include
them. If someone has been
knocked down, lift them up.
Always remind people of their
worth. One small act could
mean the world to them.

If your mental health is starting to affect your physical health. Treat yourself like you're sick. Minimum of 24hrs to yourself. Rest up. Drink plenty of water. Catch up on films you've wanted to watch. The world can wait! Stay safe and May you all have a happy New year 2023 👊🏽👍🏼

You may be struggling with the season but know you aren’t on your own. When you’re struggling with your mental health know that there are people out there that care. if you know anyone who is in a dark place drop them a line and check in. Stay safe 👊🏽
#MentalHealthMatters
MH is terrifying because you feel
like you've lost control of your
mind and nothing makes
sense. It's like watching
yourself on autopilot and
having little control. Life can be lonely and it becomes hard to break free from the shackles. Just remember you aren’t alone .

Mental health problems don’t define who you are. They are something you experience. You walk in the rain and you feel the rain, but you are not the rain. Stay strong 👊🏽

life can throw so many curve balls.
It is not the the bruises on the body that hurt. It is the wounds of the heart and the scars on the mind. Keep moving forward life throws many curve balls.

A new week + the pressures of modern life apparent everywhere we look. All it takes is a big smile to hide an injured soul and no one will ever notice how broken you really are. Just keep believing there are good people out there and you are never alone.
#speakout

Despite the smiles and the persona everyone you meet has something that maybe effecting them daily. If you are struggling with the weight on your shoulders reach out it’s not a weakness. There are people out there that care and will help! Break the stigma

. A true reflection of how low rugby 🏉 is in Wales at this moment in time. A side obviously with their heads on contract negotiations. Sad times, a resolution and forward step is in desperate need.
FairPlay what a fantastic game, as a neutral it must have been exquisite 👌. Bravo both teams but Wales breathe a sigh of relief. We go again and have that vital win to start 👏👏. Incredible spectacle .

If anything we need more pools , it should be compulsory for children to learn to swim as it could save their lives! We see it every year where people come to the coast and get in trouble in the sea or in rivers
