If you or anyone you know are experiencing suicidal thoughts, you are not alone. There are many crisis centres all over the world that help you. Sharing your thoughts with someone can help reduce the intensity of your feelings. If you know someone who is having suicidal thoughts, try to encourage them to seek the help they need and offer a listening ear - you never know the difference you can make 🫶🫂

Anxiety and stress can often take over and put our bodies in a fight or flight response. The purpose of the fight or flight response is to prepare our bodies for danger, so that we can either run or fight for our lives. However with anxiety/stress the threat is not as intense, but our bodies react in the same way. When this is a daily experience it can be difficult to go about everyday tasks.

Breathing exercises are one of the best ways to calm and relax our bodies. Doing the above breathing exercise regularly is helpful, not only when we are feeling anxious, but also as part of our daily routine to help our bodies get used to this state of being.

Managing our emotions can be quite difficult, especially if we struggle to identify or express the emotions we feel. Having more awareness of these emotions can make a huge difference in our ability to manage them more effectively.

The Emotion Wheel is a great tool in helping us to identify our emotions and consequently be able to express them.

Start off by identifying the core emotion you are feeling from the inner circle (e.g. scared/sad). You can then narrow down to the more specific emotions you feel by expanding to the outer edges. As you identify new emotions you may uncover thoughts, ideas or worries that you may not have been aware of previously.

You can also browse the whole wheel of emotions and identify those that you feel resonate, and then look into the centre to see what the core emotions of these are. Often this can be a surprise, for example thinking you were angry but realizing you are sad.

After identifying our emotions we can better understand and process them, and then take action accordingly.

Self compassion is one of the most important and powerful things we can do to help ourselves cope through difficult emotions.

We are often too critical of ourselves and need to treat ourselves the same way we would treat other people.

When we do this, not only are we happier, but we will also be able to give more to the people we love! ❤️

Sexual abuse is a form of physical abuse that involves unwanted s*xual activity through force, threats, manipulation or taking advantage of a victim’s inability to give consent.

Women, men and children get s*xually abused. This is a very sensitive topic and many people do not recognize the signs, especially if the perpetrator is known to them.

It is common for the victim to be convinced that they are being shown love by their perpetrator and that other people will not understand. They are very often made to feel guilt and shame about opening up.

Many people in relationships also feel that they have a duty to have s*x with their partner, which makes them give less weight to how they feel about this. Remember you always have a say, and non consensual s*x is abuse

Emotional or psychological abuse is a way to control another person by using their emotions to manipulate them.

It is often harder to recognise than other forms of abuse because it is so subtle and cannot be physically seen. It’s consequences however are just as severe as physical abuse.

It is important to recognise the warning signs and try to manage as best as we can to fix the problems in order to avoid long term psychological damage

Physical abuse is the intentional infliction of pain on another person. Although it can affect anyone, we usually see this in relationships where the male is the abuser and the female is the victim, but it very often occurs the other way around. Physical abuse also commonly occurs with children and elderly people or dependent adults, who are abused by their carers. It can also take place in many other types of relationships.

Physical abuse usually occurs alongside other forms of abuse and is a matter that should not be taken lightly. If you are being abused, take whatever steps you can to remain safe and seek the support that you need

It is heartbreaking to see how many people take their lives every year, especially since there are so many things that can be done to reduce su***de risk.

Whether you are feeling suicidal, or know someone who is, or has committed su***de, or even if you don’t, mental health awareness is so important so that we can recognise signs in ourselves and others in the future.

It is the unfortunate stigma of mental health that closes our eyes to these issues and how we can prevent them. Giving someone a little support and just being kind could be all they need to stop them taking their life
