'Our thoughts shape our beliefs,
and our beliefs shape our reality.'

Our thoughts influence the way we feel, drive our behaviour and form the foundation of our self-worth.
Mastering your thoughts is a positive step to reclaim control over your own mind, silence self-doubt and rewrite negative narrative that you hold about yourself and others.'
Once beliefs take hold
IT BECOMES THE FILTER THROUGH WHICH YOU INTEPRET THE WORLD.......... impacting your decisions, perceptions and behaviours.

Tonight Every Life Matters invites you to light a candle on World Su***de Prevention Day 🕯💛

They invite you to come together across Cumbria to remember, reflect, and stand in solidarity. Whether you’ve lost someone to su***de, support someone who struggles, or live with thoughts of su***de yourself — you are not alone.

Join them from 7:45pm to connect with others and speak to members of Every Life Matters. At 8:00pm, there'll be chance to pause for a minute’s silence and light a candle — a symbol of hope and a reminder that our actions, no matter how big or small, may provide hope to those who are struggling.

More information about their events for ***dePreventionDay can be found here: https://www.every-life-matters.org.uk/project/world-su***de-prevention-day

Sometimes people are ashamed to admit they aren't coping, given experience of people experiencing such thoughts on a regular basis, I would like to share this to spread awareness.

What helps creat a toxic relationship?

Do you have a habit of attracting the wrong kind of people into your life? if so adressing the pattern may be useful.
Relationships filled with insability, criticism and abuse have a way of bringing you down and affecting your mental health.

Here are some ways and signs that can appear within this dynamic.

You feel drained, or unhappy after spending time with that person.
The relationship lacks fun.
You seem to irritate each other.
You cannot stop arguing or bickering over minor issues.
There is a lack of support and encouragement.
Every achievemnet seems to be a competition.
most conversations include sarcasm, contempt, outright hostility or criticism.
There is a tendancy to bare grudges.
envy and jealousy exist in the relationship.
These are just a few examples but the list can go on..
If you chose to stay in these relationships with a person who has a toxic pattern, you may be choosing on an unconscious level by recreating patterns from your past.

Counselling can help you work through these patterns and focus on why you choose to engage with people who are toxic for you.
It can help identify toxicicity.
compare patterns to your own attachments with significant care givers.
Become aware of your triggers.
Become aware of the 'red flags'
recocgnise your true self.

Day 3.

Myths and realities about ADHD.
1. Adult who have ADHD need not have been formally diagnosed in childhood.

2. ADHD is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder that is the subject of many myths and misconceptions in society.
These beliefs can have harmful consequences, such as delaying diagnosis and treatment, stigmatizing those affected, or minimize
the impact of the disorder.

3.Neurodivergence is not a condition that needs to be 'fixed' or 'cured' Neurodivergent people have 'differences' not 'difficulties' and they are not 'disordered'
Individualisation helps a person to develop to their full potential.

4. Neuroimaging data has highlighted that there are structural and functional differences in the brains of people with ADHD, especially in the regions involved in attention, impulse control and executive functions.

5. Another persistant myth is that ADHD is caused by poor parenting or lack of discipline. Stricter education or punishments would not 'correct' people with ADHD,

6. Environmental factors can modulate symptom expression but they are not the primary cause of the disorder. Blaming parents or the child themselves is not only unfair but counterproductive, as it adds guilt and stress to an already complex situation.

7. ADHD people are not lazy, lack willpower or short of effort. Reality confirms that people with ADHD work harder than others to accomplish the same tasks, due to their attention and executive difficulties. This myth is particularly damaging and can add to a persons low self-esteem resulting from negative judgments.

8. ADHD is not overdiagnosed, rather underdiagnosed, particularly in girls and adults. Up to 50% of people with ADHD would not be diagnosed.
