Is it ok to act 'normal' in front of them?

It's natural and 'human' for us to see the 'New Year' as a time for change, progression, or new beginnings. But Mental Illness is no respecter of time. It does not recognize a 'new season' and it does not take a holiday.

Use every day as a time for change and/or renewal. Today is your day to make a small change. Yesterday is gone. You may never get 'well' but you can be better. Hope lies in small changes. It is there for you. You ARE WORTH IT!

It's always tempting to try to set a 'new years' resolution (NYR). However a NYR can be detrimental to your mental health because you may be setting yourself up to fail.

Every day is a 'new day' with mental illness. Your success or failure of yesterday does not determine your today. Today is a new day, yesterday is gone. Choose to do what you need to do today to get 'better'.

People suffering under the barrage of dark thoughts need a reason that LOUDER than their pain.   

What was my reason? Find out today on todays podcast at 1915 (AEST).

Christmas is supposed to be a time of happiness and being merry, do why does the suicide rate go up? It's complex and there is no one-size-fits-all reason. Here is why i find why this time of year can be so hard.

Suicide Ideation - What is it? What does it feel like? Today we'll help you understand this concept.  

Also available as a video podcast at https://youtu.be/xFprb3jcOYU

Suicidal ideations (SI), often called suicidal thoughts or ideas, is a broad term used to describe a range of contemplations, wishes, and preoccupations with death and suicide. There is no universally accepted consistent definition of SI, which leads to ongoing challenges for clinicians, researchers, and educators. For example, in research studies, SI is frequently given different operational definitions. This interferes with the ability to compare findings across studies and is frequently mentioned as a limitation in meta-analyses associated with suicidality. Some SI definitions include suicide planning deliberations, while others consider planning to be a discrete stage. Beyond the lack of clear nomenclature, there are other concerns. A systematic review of the numerous interprofessional clinical guidelines for suicide yielded no consensus on a clinical gold standard for assessing and managing SI or people at risk of suicide.  Harmer B, Lee S, Duong TVH, Saadabadi A. Suicidal Ideation. 2021 Aug 6. In: StatPearls [Internet]. Treasure Island (FL): StatPearls Publishing; 2021 Jan–. PMID: 33351435.

The sad fact is that suicide rates will increase exponentially over the Christmas period. 

All the Christmas cheer, talk of family and hope, pushes some over the edge as they see what others are perceived to have and, by contrast, what they do not have.

What is mental Illness discrimination? What forms does it take? Is it easy to perceive? All these questions and more have vexed me for months now. So Let's talk Mental Illness Discrimination.
