If you met some of my clients you'd never think they're suffering from depression. They might be in excruciating pain with a mind that feels like their own worst enemy - but all you see when you look at them are their smile and happy appearance.

Do you recognise any of these signs? I had them all when I was sinking into depression, but I didn't necessarily know what was going on.

It's so important to know what your particular warning signs of declining mental health are. Why? So that you can take action before things get really, really low.

Would you add another warning sign to this list? What do you notice changes when your mental health takes a dip? What suffers? What's different? What's harder? Let me know in the comments.

WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY! I remember this message f

WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY!
I remember this message from my Mental Health First Aid training: Mental health exists on a continuum and we are all on it. You can move up and down that scale, and will do so throughout your whole life.

I've lived in both extremes. When you're in crisis, it's hard to believe that you'll ever get out of that despair and darkness again. And when life feels amazing, poor mental health might seem like something only other people experience.

The thing is, mental health isn't something that happens to you. You can make it happen - you can move up and down based on how you live and the thoughts and attitudes you cultivate.

So now, if I ever notice my mental health declining, I have this big, big toolkit available that I know will help me move up the scale again. I don't feel worried that I'll find myself in crisis. If it happens due to circumstances in my life, I know what I can do to get better again. And that knowledge and trust is worth gold.

Where do you find yourself on the mental health continuum at the moment? Let me know in the comments!

If you're feeling low and depressed and you don't

If you're feeling low and depressed and you don't know what to do, try one of these activities. Antidepressants are not the only way to feel better. And in fact, many of the activities in this image fulfil deeper often unmet needs:

The need for creativity. For connection. For meaning and purpose. Your body's need to be moved, to be fed well, and to detox.

In my own journey of overcoming depression, it really was a whole bunch of things that ended up serving as antidepressants.

Which of these are you intrigued by? Have you noticed mood boosting effects from something else you've tried? Let me know in the comments.

One of my newest clients read Johann Hari's book "Lost Connections" and had really big realisations about better ways to look at his long struggle with depression. I find his work into the different causes of depression absolutely fascinating and I agree that depression isn't caused purely by a chemical imbalance in your brain. Even when your neurotransmitters do become imbalanced (but there isn't even a real proof for that), we'd need to ask: Why has this happened in the first place?

Swipe through the slides and let me know which of these causes identified by Hari makes sense with you. 👇

Shame can hold us back from getting the help we so

Shame can hold us back from getting the help we sometimes simply need. Being your own worst enemy in terms of how you relate to yourself might possibly be the biggest problem you’ll ever have. Searching for a quick-fix zero-discomfort cure whilst ignoring the fact that there are root causes likely won’t work. And the good old “I’ll be happy when xyz is in place” myth keeps so many of us unhappy and forever searching (obviously big changes are sometimes needed if your situation is truly troubling).

Drop 🧡in the comments. Or share your own thoughts on what else might be getting in the way of better mental health.
And share away of course 🧡
