First weekend in January, most will be back at work now or starting back on Monday. Children returning to school. The realities of christmas eating and spending might be catching up with people.

The messages i’ve had this weekend really have me concerned.

Just a quick check in are you all ok?

S'posed to be back at work (online) tomorrow, first time back since the end of October due to ill health. I had the worst night's sleep for months yesterday and feel like something that crawled out of a bog. Oh, and have my daughter at home with me all day too cos it's a staff training day but school holiday clubs are not open.

I can't wait. Feel great

January is always a month that people can suffer from mental health issues as well as health issues. So much flu and other issues this time of year, hospitals full and struggle to get doctor appointments. This can also cause mental health problems along with the weather this time of year, financial issues because of Christmas overspends and not getting paid for a few more weeks. It can be a bad time. Do remember to keep in touch with those that may be suffering

Its all gonna work out fine! You’ve identified the ‘issues’ so you’ll actually manage work, rest and your daughter with grace and aplomb.

Nope! I've had 2 hours sleep in 29 hours, one child back tomorrow, one back Tuesday and me back Wednesday after being off sick for 3 weeks. I'm exhausted, in pain and anxious how I'm going to go back to work and actually do my job. I'm bored and frustrated waiting for answers that it feels like I'll never get and it's all making me feel a bit crazy.

Sorry OP, I'm a proper grump today but thank you for asking ❤️

Wow, 2 kids in December!!! That's asking for trouble! And it comes from someone who was born on the 30th of December...

Speedy recovery for you, hope all goes well with the return to work.

To the OP- apart from the almost constant cold since about mid-November, I am fine, thanks. No real appetite (same in my partner's case) so I didn't buy loads of food for Christmas. We still have a virgin bottle of Warninks on the shelf which is a sign we have not been well this Christmas.

Hope you are ok, OP.

What a lovely and kind thread.

Yes January is statistically a struggle, more relationships end and more suicides than any other month .Even more important that we look after each other.

Me specifically I’m back to work tomorrow, however after a very difficult end to 2024 I’m optimistic about 2025 ( some positive news recently)
