#SWInspires | Navigating Your Way Through ‘The Sunken Place’
Mental Health Illness has no face: This is something I say often, and when I further examine such a statement, I see two meanings. The first; is that anyone can be affected regardless of who they are or what they look like. The second and not so obvious; is from the perspective of mental health itself. It’s hard to describe or put into a box, it disguises in many different cloaks, hides away for seasons and is somewhat a shape shifter in that it can manifest itself in different ways within different people. For the benefit of this piece, I’d like to discuss the topic of Depression. You’ll notice in the title of this article my use of the term ‘The Sunken Place’. After watching the movie ‘Get Out’, I found some words to closer describe the feeling of depression that lingers within my own life, and indeed it is like sinking into a hole within myself.

#Wellbeing | Life Getting Real? How To Manage Life When Your Routine Changes
September is finally here, and so many of us will be going through changes this month that in theory, September can be seen as a sort of new year, a fresh start, time of the year, wouldn’t you agree? For many mothers, their children are off back to school after a fun, or maybe long, summer holiday break, however you want to view it. Some people are back to work after their summer breaks away, even adults are heading back to college, school or lessons if they are doing some extra or adult learning projects. With this new fresh start that September brings, it can also bring us crashing back down to Earth with a great big thud. Why? You may be wondering. After all, isn’t this the opportunity for change and starting as you mean to go on?
#BeINspired | Embrace The Here and Now
There’s so many times in our life where we mentally plan ‘When I get enough money, I’m going to do this’ or ‘Next week I’m going to take my friend out’ But what about right now? What are you doing right now? Tomorrow is never promised unfortunately, so it’s better that you embrace and enjoy the moment; the here and the now.
