Mind Walking - A journal of discovery

Living, not merely surviving life. This is a collection of thoughts and histories of living with and recovering from mental health problems. It is a journey that is forever continuing. From its inception it's provided a voice for experiences and is a reminder of how we resolve emotional dilemmas. Its intent is to encourage sufferers not to feel they are alone or to be ashamed. It is to educate the interested, challenge the ignorant and provide comfort along the way, if possible.

Lest we forget

This Remembrance Day, please remember that...

"Pain is pain - it's not a competition."

...and please, NEVER forget.

Thank you.

Dos and Don'ts on mental health

ALWAYS find out facts; never assume anything.
ALWAYS let people talk and acknowledge them.
ALWAYS show respect and consideration.
Build confidence and self-esteem through positive feedback and allowing others to be supportive of you.
Empathise instead of sympathise
Encourage people to explore sources of help for themselves.
Encourage people to have a balanced diet, regular exercise and sleep.
Encourage people to pursue their interests and have fun.
Find out what people want by way of support and help. This can change daily as it does for you.
NEVER endorse, comment or encourage fanciful, grandiose illogical thoughts. Better to say nothing.
NEVER laugh at people; ALWAYS laugh with them.
