Christmas can be a really challenging time, especially for people in recovery or anyone trying to make positive changes in their life. The pressure to be happy, social, and surrounded by others can bring up difficult emotions, old habits, and feelings of loneliness or grief. 💛

Recovery does not pause for Christmas. In fact, this season can test your strength more than most. If you are feeling overwhelmed, triggered, or struggling to cope, please remember that asking for support is part of recovery, not a step backwards. Staying connected, talking things through, and using the right support can make all the difference.

These are trusted services that are available throughout the festive period. Whether you need someone to talk to, a listening ear in the moment, or ongoing mental health support, help is there. You do not have to carry everything on your own.

If you are in recovery, choosing support over silence is a powerful act of self care. If you know someone who may be struggling this Christmas, please share this post with them. Recovery is about connection, compassion, and taking things one day at a time. 🎄✨

You matter. Your recovery matters. Support is always available.

Reminder! The clocks go back this weekend ⏰

Changing the clocks can be confusing for all of us – but for someone living with dementia it can be particularly disorientating and even distressing.

Thankfully there are a few easy things we can do to help minimise any disruption.

Consider having dinner and going to bed an hour earlier on Saturday, so that the person you’re caring for still gets enough sleep and can wake up at their usual time on Sunday.

Keep to a regular routine during the day and at bedtime. Doing regular activities at the same time each day – for example, going for a walk after breakfast – can help a person with dementia make sense of the time.

Gentle exercise outdoors can help the person feel sleepier during the evening. If this isn’t an option, keeping them active during the day can have a similar effect.

Use blackout curtains to reduce sunlight in the evening to help with body clock regulation.

Invest in an auto-setting clock for them. Reading a clock face can be tricky for some people with dementia, so often digital clocks are easier. You can also get clocks that show the day of the week and date as well as the time, and for some people a day/night clock can help them distinguish what time of day it is.
