Happy Friday…. Don’t forgot to move today. I know that recently putting movement into my routine has not been happening for me so here is the reminder for you and me!

It’s time to find the words and talk it out. It doesn’t have to be with a counsellor maybe with a friend but we need to have someone we trust, who we can talk to about the things that we are worried to say. Once you say it, it might feel a lot smaller and manageable.

TW: Self-harm.

Therapy is not just for breaking point. Recognising that your mental health is needing some support is not a weakness. Healing time is always shorter if early intervention are put in place.

At Never Too Late, Mate, the team have been very disappointed recently with a number of social media screenshots that have been flagged to us showing people making light of the often devastating subject of self-harming. Not only does this have an impact on the person who is struggling to stop doing so, but it is deeply traumatic for friends and loved ones.

People who are going through this are often struggling with their mental health in general, and seeing others jokingly say that they are going to ‘self harm’ in an attempt to be humorous isn’t just potentially ‘triggering’ - it is reckless and irresponsible.

We are still seeing the fallout from the regrettable online reaction to Meghan Markle admitting that she was suicidal during her interview with Oprah, and specifically how people who are feeling suicidal may react to throwaway comments like ‘Ginge and Whinge’ or ‘don’t believe her - f*****g attention seeker.’ Would you honestly have the confidence to reach out for help in that sort of environment? We hoped that lessons would have been learned from that situation, but it’s clear that there is still work to do.

We’re not going to focus on the negatives here for too long - that’s not what we are about. Instead, we have started discussions with key partners today about developing a brand new way for people who are self-harming, people who are considering self-harming, and their friends and family to access vital support information right here on Facebook.

We are expanding Never Too Late, Mate’s su***de prevention and awareness package to cover everything from signposting about self-harm support to a closed and safe Facebook community where people can connect with experts without delay or judgement. We will then use the reach and influence of the Essex Coronavirus Action group of pages to make sure that we get all of this in front of as many people as possible.

We will have more news about this soon.

I’m sure I am not the only one that finds it hard to hear good things about yourself. However I am proud of my work and want to share my clients success. Please have a quick read and be touch if you want to discuss your counselling.

This is not a exhaustive list but if you are wondering or considering counselling this might be helpful. It’s not a easy process but it’s the way to personal growth.

It’s ok to rest. It’s amazing how better you can feel if you have some time to yourself.

Who can relate to this? So many clients come with this statement. It’s ok to not know, this could be about anything; how you feel, what is next for you, what to say. I have noticed that actually saying out loud, I don’t know, can help you find answers in time.

Let’s build it up again together.
