For the @Independent this week, I wrote about why anxiety is anything but the 'ordinary difficulties of life' in response to Rishi Sunak and Mel Stride's proposed cuts to sickness benefits for those with anxiety and depression. You can read it here ➡️ https://t.co/BwzkbFh1wb

Eurostar: Astonishing fail on the 8.16am London-Brussels-Amsterdam. Train broke down at the Channel Tunnel entrance before 9am.
Passengers still stuck on the train, with no power (or functioning toilets).
It's dark.
So far one food item and a cup of water.

@ellajglover ...Being with people gives me energy, so just trying to connect with others in my social life as much as possible has helped, I work from the British library also which is fab. Also started volunteering for a few hours after work each week to get that contact time with others.

@ellajglover Hey Ella, yes have definitely experienced this over the past year! Have really struggled with feelings of burn out, I'm sure nearly 4 years of wfh has played a part in this! What has helped is shifting my focus onto making my life outside of work as fulfilling as possible...

Hello! I'm still looking to speak to people whose period symptoms have affected their work (doesn't need to be a menstrual condition) and have spoken to their employer about this. Would be great to hear about how you approached this #journorequest

[Rosie Slater @RosieCSlater]

Spoken to a few people with menstrual conditions for this, but would be great to hear from people without a diagnosis too (symptoms don't have to be severe - maybe you experience period pain, brain fog or fatigue etc and spoken to work about this). DMs open #journorequest

Do you have a saving tip/hack that's worked for you and helped you save some cash recently? Would be great to hear your submissions for a charity article if so. Not looking for experts specifically on this one, can be anyone with a good tip! #journorequest

Why is Australia a part of Eurovision? Are Aussies even that into it? For @GuardianAus I met Eurovision super fans and, boy, they are very much into it

I'm also looking for gut health experts to speak to about small/accessible lifestyle and diet changes we can make to improve our gut health, and how gut health affects our physical and mental health #journorequest

Some personal news - I'm delighted to have started a new role as a content creator at the @retail_trust making health and wellbeing content for retail workers. Really excited to be back in the charity sector and for such an amazing organisation.

In 2023, Pride events are difficult to get right. They must strike a careful balance between celebration and contemplation, representing a huge array of different people under one banner. I wrote about whether WorldPride got it right for @GuardianAus https://t.co/esphFmxVCN

[Rosie Slater @RosieCSlater]

Thanks for all the responses to this! I've found some people to speak to for this, but appreciate you all getting in touch.

Looking to speak to mental health professionals/workplace wellbeing coaches/psychiatrists about ways to be a mental health ally in the workplace. This is for a health and wellbeing publication. #journorequest
