Ah thank goodness, another mental health awareness week over, 51 weeks till we can focus on it again. All the focus on loneliness can be defocussed. Anyone lonely last week will be ok now. it's a good job it's only once a year, I'm exhausted now.... And I do feel exhausted, and I do feel down, because those weeks are hard.
Last week I did 2 presentations on mental health, one to Environment Agency colleagues and one to colleagues from Department for International Trade. The former was the short version, not too miserable, not too dark, but full of practical information and advice. The latter was longer, more miserable, covered the self harm (only via the blurred out pictures - people at work are not ready for that yet). They were well received, they always are. I got some nice feedback, I always do. So why do I feel so down. Well....... It doesn't feel like the times are changing. We're not doing enough to look out for each other. Who rang someone to check up on them? Who checked up on their lonely friend? Who is doing it this week? And next? What happens for the next 51 weeks? The weeks over..... but it's not over.... Take Care Paul
