Today is World Mental Health Day. It is a day to talk about mental health and show everyone that mental health matters. It’s also a day to let people know that it’s okay to ask for help, no matter what you’re going through.

Ok, so it's not as exciting as World Porridge Day and my post was thrown together while chivvying the kids along. But. It's important folks. Please look out for each other and check in here if you need to.

As it’s Black History Month, I’d just like to acknowledge the Black women that suffer and struggle to access services to support them.

Black women are more likely to experience a common mental illness such as anxiety disorder or depression than anyone else. I see you.

Few events going at work for us today. An important one to keep visible.

I saw my serious post next to my boobs and did giggle at the incongruence.

One of the most stigmatising beliefs than Mental ill-health 'Is all in the mind'. Is founded upon an archaic belief in Cartesean Mind-body Duality.

The brain is as physical an organ as any other part of the body. Yet MH is still treated as something separate socially and within the medicine itself. Structurally and within the language we use.

It's an attitude that inhibits people from seeking support. Leads to disproportionately less funding than 'physical' conditions and leads to people feeling ashamed and isolated.

Yes! Body and mind are not separate. It baffles me.

This was something my wife felt and hurt her very deeply. It took 7 years for her to receive a diagnosis. During which time she nearly died several times. At one point they tried to put her in a hospice as terminally ill - in her 30s with an eating disorder.

She felt the dismissal of her emotional dysregulation was exacerbated by the 'angry black woman' stigma. When it was attributable to her MH. A condition, which improved following diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

I lost my lover of 23 years because of his M H. He was diagnosed, he did have pills, but and it's a big but, he would not talk about it, he just used to say no one listens, and close the subject down. I actually didn't fully realise how depressed he was, yes he was up one time down the next, but if only he had talked to ME. He left my bed at 3AM to drive down to Cornwall to start work on 3 cottages we had, a 5 hour drive, but an hour after leaving he drove into "an immovable object" shall we say, and died instantly. It was at the inquest I learned more of his condition apparently he was manic depressive as was his father and his fathers father. I had no idea how bad he felt I only wished he had opened up to me.There is of course a lot more to this, but perhaps not on here.Also it aspired that manic depression is genetic. So friends if you know someone that has mood swings try and encourage them to talk to you, don't judge just care and show them you care.

It was a success story in the end. She got the support she needed and I had many beautiful years with her.

I just haven't got much fight left in me. It's all left me a little broken.

Thank you for speaking up.
