πŸ§ πŸ’¬ This World Mental Health Day, let’s take a moment to check in on each other - a simple conversation can make a world of difference 🌍❀️

Here’s how to support someone who might be struggling:
1️⃣ Find a quiet space with no distractions - be fully present 🀝
2️⃣ Listen without interrupting and ask thoughtful questions πŸ‘‚β“
3️⃣ Ask how you can help - it might be booking a GP appointment, helping with chores, or just being there 🫢

πŸ“± Remember: social media isn’t always real.
Feeling low? It’s OK to log off. It’s OK to not be OK all the time.
Less screen time = more time to breathe, reflect, and reset πŸŒΏπŸ’š

πŸ’‘ Mental health matters every day.
Small actions = BIG impact.

🍹❌ Feeling like it’s time for a reset? Sober October is your chance to take a break from alcohol, boost your health πŸ’ͺ, sleep better 😴, save money πŸ’·, AND raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support πŸŽ—οΈπŸ’š

Whether you're doing it for your body, your mind, or someone you love - it’s the perfect excuse to say no thanks to that drink and yes to a better you 🌟🧠

⚠️ Be careful of slipping into drinking more than usual - especially once October ends.

βœ… Make alcohol-free days a regular thing
βœ… Know your limits
βœ… Reach out for support if you're struggling

🚭 October is Stoptober - your chance to take control of your health and quit smoking for good πŸ’ͺπŸ”₯

Whether you've quit, started again, or switched to va**ng, it’s vital to let your doctor know. Why? Because smoking directly affects the treatment and management of long-term conditions like:
❀️ Coronary heart disease (CHD)
🦡 Peripheral arterial disease (PAD)
🧠 Stroke or TIA
πŸ’‰ High blood pressure (hypertension)
🩸 Type 2 diabetes
🫁 COPD and asthma (in adults)
πŸ’­ History of psychosis, schizophrenia or bipolar disorder
🚰 Chronic kidney disease (CKD)

Your smoking status plays a big role in your care plan. Don’t keep it to yourself - tell your GP.

πŸ’¬ Want to quit? Help is out there:
πŸ‘‰ Speak to your GP
πŸ‘‰ Call the NHS Smokefree Helpline 0300 123 1044
πŸ‘‰ Or visit: https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/quit-smoking/nhs-stop-smoking-services-help-you-quit/

Every day smoke-free is a win πŸ†
