Lets talk about Menopause 💬

Sleep problems are also common during this time, and poor sleep or tiredness can worsen symptoms like irritability, brain fog, difficulty concentrating, mood swings, and forgetfulness.

Alcohol Awareness week🍻
It's the perfect time to reflect on the impact alcohol can have on your mental health. Here’s why reducing or cutting out alcohol can boost your well-being:

💭 Improved Mental Clarity: Alcohol can disrupt sleep and increase anxiety, leaving you feeling foggy. Cutting back helps restore focus and energy.

😌 Reduced Anxiety & Depression: Alcohol is a depressant that can worsen low mood and anxious thoughts. Staying dry allows your mind to find balance.

💤 Better Sleep: Say goodbye to restless nights—alcohol interrupts your sleep cycle, we may think it helps us to go to sleep, but it affects the quality of our sleep but going dry helps you wake up feeling truly refreshed.

💪 Increased Coping Skills: Without alcohol as a coping strategy, you can discover other ways to manage stress and emotions.

✨ Long-Term Benefits: Regular drinking is linked to higher risks of mental health struggles. A break from alcohol helps set the tone for healthier habits all year round.

Every day without alcohol is a win for your mental health! 🧠💖

This week if you usually go to the pub or for a drink with friends/family/after work why not try something else instead such as going for a walk, going for food or trying something new!

🌟 Celebrating Disability Pride Month: Embracing Mental Health 🌟
July is Disability Pride Month, a time to honor the diversity, strength, and resilience of the disability community. This month, let's also shine a light on the importance of mental health within this community.
💚 Mental Health Matters 💚
Living with a disability can bring unique challenges, including mental health struggles. It's crucial to recognize that mental health is just as important as physical health. Here are some ways to support mental well-being:
1. Stay Connected: Build a support network of friends, family, and community members who understand and respect your experiences.
2. Self-Care: Prioritize activities that bring you joy and relaxation, whether it's reading, painting, or simply taking a walk.
3. Seek Professional Help: Don't hesitate to reach out to mental health professionals who can provide guidance and support tailored to your needs.
4. Advocate for Yourself: Your voice matters. Advocate for accommodations and resources that support your mental health.
5. Educate Others: Share your experiences and educate others about the intersection of disability and mental health to foster understanding and empathy.
Remember, it's okay to ask for help and take time for yourself. You are strong, you are valued, and you are not alone. 💪💙

Midweek Check-In: How Are You Really Doing?
Life moves fast, but your mental health matters every single day. Take a moment today to pause, breathe, and ask yourself: Am I coping, or am I just getting by?
It’s okay to not have all the answers. What’s not okay is pretending everything’s fine when it’s not.
Talk to someone. Journal. Go for a walk. Rest.
You deserve peace—not just productivity.

It is important to reflect on yourself and the days/weeks you have experienced, this will enable you to consider if there is any room for improvement or change.

🔹 Feeling overwhelmed or irritable

At Birmingham Healthy Minds, we understand the impact of workplace stress, which is why we offer the Staying Well at Work group. This program provides strategies to manage stress effectively and maintain well-being while navigating work challenges.

It affects executive function leading to challenges with focus, impulse control, task initiation and working memory. Having ADHD does not mean you have an illness or disease. It means your brain works in a different way from other people.
