What are you doing for your mental health?
This question was posed on the radio this morning. Some don't get enough sleep, some are at a stage where the roles reverse and they take on caring for parents as well as their own children and career et cetera
Just posing the question for quiet reflection.
Take care and take care of yourself

- BrummieMemberHi All, I am not looking at the moment. I've decided to just look after myself now. I will need to obtain some advice to determine what my options, rights are and take it from there.
- arpieMemberThat's a real Bummer, @Brummie - I hope you'll be able to find something a bit less stressful, if possible.

- arpieMember@Brummie All the best for your recovery ... if you have any questions on ANY aspect ... whack up a question in the relevant ‘area’ and you will get good advice and support from those who’ve been thru it themselves. Xx
yes @Marakesh ... looking after yourself during your recovery IS the main job now, eh?
