Are you one of the many people with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)? You don't have to have another recognised mental health illness to experience SAD, it's something that affects a lot of us as the days get shorter and darker. We've posted some of the signs of SAD and some of the things you can do to help.

If you already have a diagnosis, it's helpful to remember that SAD can make the symptoms of other forms of depression or anxiety worse, so if things are getting tough, please speak to someone you trust and to your GP.

And remember our Night Light Café is open every Monday and Wednesday evening. You are always welcome.

As fireworks light up the skies this week, it's important to remember that not everyone experiences Bonfire Night the same way.

For survivors of trauma and people living with PTSD, the loud bangs, bright flashes and unexpected noises can be deeply distressing. These triggers can bring back painful memories, heighten feelings of anxiety, and it can be difficult to manage the distress caused to animals too.

If you're feeling overwhelmed and in need of support, please email enquiries@dontlosehope.co.uk to book an appointment with a trained listener for this evening (Wednesday 5th November). Our team are on hand at Don't Lose Hope Café from 6pm until 9pm. Booking isn't a necessity, but will guarantee 1:1 time with a listener.

Important Update!

Please note that we have amended our service hours and process to ensure we are able to continue providing support to those who need it.

Monday evenings, 6pm until 9pm, we are open to anyone that wants to pop in, maybe that needs to talk to a trained listener, requiring mental health support, or just have somewhere to be around other people, do some colouring, crafting, or reading in a calm and safe space.

Wednesday evenings, 6pm until 9pm, please email enquiries@dontlosehope.co.uk to book an appointment with a listener. This is to ensure that one to one support can be guaranteed. We appreciate you may not know in advance that you need mental health support, so our door is still open to those without an appointment. If it is urgent, please contact 111 option 2 in the first instance, but you can come in to speak to someone face to face that will keep you safe.

We posted this last year, but it's always a good reminder:

If you're taking Sertraline, Citalopram, Duloxetine, Fluoxetine, Mirtazapine, or any other SNRI/SSRI/anti-psychotic medication then you are more prone to overheating and dehydration.

Please take extra precautions to stay safe in the heat; stay hydrated, dress accordingly, wear suncream and keep in the shade where possible

If you need a chat, please come and see our wonderful listeners from 6pm

If people have said any of the following to you, you could be exactly what we need!

- You're such a good listener
- Thank you for being there for me
- It's nice to feel heard

We are on the lookout for volunteers to support our busy Night Light Cafe Team. In return, we will offer

- the opportunity to directly improve the lives of our visitor's
- free dopamine! Studies have shown that acts of kindness, such as volunteering, release dopamine and other feel good chemicals
- a sense of purpose, reducing isolation
