With 3 months left of the year, it’s a good time to reflect upon what you’ve achieved and what you still want to achieve.

From a young age and starting school in September, September signals new starts and transitions for many people.

Maybe working on you and getting therapy is what you’re going to do with the rest of this year. If you’d like to chat about how I can help you, get in touch today on 07854012675.

What can you do with the next 3 months!?

On su***de prevention week -

❗️Always ask the question if you think someone is considering su***de, it won’t make them more likely to do it.

❗️Always take someone seriously if they say they’re suicidal - it could save their life.

❗️If you’re the one struggling you are loved, there is support out there for you. Get in touch if you need support.

If someone you know is suicidal or you think they might be it is ok to ask, you will not put it in their head by asking.

You can say something like, are you having thoughts of su***de and if the answer is yes, you need to find out if they have a plan in place to see what support they need and how quickly e.g GP or 999.

Some tips for talking are -

🔹 Find the right time and place somewhere nice and quiet.
🔹Ask open questions like - you don’t seem yourself, what can I do to help?
🔹Offer reassurance let them know they are not alone and you are there.
🔹Be patient this might be the first time this person has opened up.
🔹 Leave silences for the person to think and respond.
🔹Don’t make false promises to minimise someone’s pain by saying things like - it’s all in your head, I know how you feel.
🔹Offer information about services as there are lots support services out there.

Ahead of World su***de prevention day on Wednesday…

What to do if you’re feeling suicidal -

🔹Reach out - tell a trusted friend or family member, phone 111, go to your GP or crisis team if you have one or phone a helpline. You are not alone. Samaritans are open 24hrs a day 116123.
🔹Get to a safe place.
🔹Stay away from drugs and alcohol.

REMEMBER -

🔹You will be missed.
🔹There is help out there.
🔹Your emotions aren’t fixed they are constantly
changing.
🔹There are still things you can accomplish and
experience.
🔹Your capacity to experience positive emotions is equal to your capacity to experience negative ones.
🔹These feelings are almost always temporary.
🔹YOU CAN GET THROUGH THIS.

Declutterring is good but can sometimes be overwhelming if you’ve got a lot to do so start small if that’s the case.

Variety is the spice of life as they say…

When life feels touch, doing one thing at a time is more manageable and you’ll get things done much faster.

It’s easy to dwell and feel like you haven’t achieved anything sometimes but having a list of achievements or reminding yourself of them can help your mindset.

Some days just getting out of bed is an achievement and that’s fine 😊

It’s always good to hear how much someone loves and appreciates you so do that today for (atleast) two people in your life…
