Asking about suicide won't put the idea in someone's head. It could save their life.

We're continuing Scotland's biggest ever conversation about suicide.

Meet our brave ambassadors Jon, Lindsey, Jenna, Scott, and Noor. 🩷💚🩵🧡

Last year, I was offered a job even after disclosing a stage IV cancer diagnosis. Highlighting the very best of workplace acceptance and culture.

But today, my husband unexpectedly had a job offer rescinded after letting the company know he may need 2 days off, a month after starting to help me recover from a possible minor surgery.

We’re both software engineers and both companies are in the healthcare space. The response he received highlights the discrimination that not only many patients face but also their caregivers.

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t disheartened and frustrated by their response. When faced with the choice, be company A not company B.

We’ve faced bigger hurdles and come out on top, so on we go.

In other news, if anyone is looking to hire a talented software engineer w/experience in healthcare. I know a guy 😉

Here’s a photo of us on my birthday this year. We celebrated with a hackathon building tools/apps for cancer patients. Yes, that was my actual birthday request. Things get real nerdy around here.

@Health_in_Mind For me, if/when I notice it, anxiety is like reverberating, my mind jumping about, not able to concentrate much for long. I'm interested to read how others describe this.

I had a great session in the gym this morning working on my physical and #mentalHealth 💪My PT Stewart is keeping me right, and I love him for it. Thanks @Ed_Leisure. P.s. I did not lift any of these weights 😀

'Dry Your Eyes Mate', 'Wear Sunscreen', and 'Never Ever'. These are the tunes I needed to get me started today. Thanks, Zoe @BBCRadio2. You're pulling together a great playlist for #TimeToTalkDay.

This #BrewMonday I'm reminded of the great times I had sharing a #cupoftea with my gran ☕ There was always a rock bun or shortbread biscuit available, made to her exact recipe, both of which I now have. I'll hunt them out and invite someone over for a cuppa. Who's interested?
