Emily Hards replied to deborah knight
Hi, thank you for sharing that Cassie. There is a lot of information here so it can be easy to become overwhelmed. Try breaking it down, and do a section a day or less, whatever seems reasonable and manageable for you.
It's great that you took some time out and had a break - that is often what I do, and I find it helps!
It's great that your are here... -
Fantastic comments Maureen - Couldn't agree more, thank you for highlighting that.
-
Thank you both for sharing your thoughts. Really appreciate your honesty. I am pleased that you have found coping strategies which have worked for you.

-
Great to hear Tim.
-
Emily Hards replied to Kathryn Graham
Couldn't agree more - the example you used was really clear and highlights the core message well.

That's fantastic Janet, really encouraged to hear that you have found this section useful, and feel able to give the 'recording' tool a go!
Best of luck. -
That's great to hear, thank you.
-
That's great Tracey. I agree, the steps described here feel manageable and achievable.
In regards to patronising others, I have found that actively listening, supporting others and lightly introducing them to this framework has been the best approach. That way there is no risk of 'patronising' - you are instead actively helping :) and 'suggesting' something... -
Hi both, that's great to hear. What a good idea to return to some sections at a later date.
Fantastic! -
That's great Philippe, glad to hear you are enjoying it.
-
Hi Sue,

I couldn't agree more - looking after your own emotional wellbeing is definitely very important, but often can be overlooked.

I would just like to echo what Vince has said, there are lots of sources of support that are available to you. And I would encourage you to use these, there is no need to do it alone.
I wish you all the best. -
Wow that's fantastic to hear Anne. I agree, the more people start having conversations about mental health the better.

Yes I agree Cassie, thats an important point, thanks for raising that.
I guess the distinction between the two is that a depressed mood in on average much lower, despite fluctuations. -
