💙🧠 💯 from @romankemp spot on. The lockdown’s might have been vital to physical health but the toll on mental health has been equally devastating

[Roman Kemp @romankemp]

I don’t normally post things like this. But as much as lockdowns helped, I always believed the ignorance towards what effect it has on our mental health was so dangerous. Please let’s have more awareness on our television screens. Big thanks to @voguewilliams for the chat ❤️

Brilliant and inspiring honesty from @DafyddJames13 with the help from friend of the blog @philsteele1 and @BBCScrumV We often treat ourselves in a way we’d never treat other people, honesty and care to ourself is as important as anything else 💪🏻 💙🧠 #mentalhealth #depression

Looking forward to meeting with @AitchandAitchBe later this week to discuss our involvement in this amazing challenge raising funds and awareness about mental health & suicide prevention 🧠💙 #ForBen

[Aitch and Aitch Bee Events @AitchandAitchBe]

This will be our biggest challenge to date. Over 33,000 kms to cover between April 2nd & May 6th. We will need as much support as we can - runners, walkers, cyclists and even swimmers! Who is going to join us to spread the message about Mental Health & Suicide Prevention #ForBen

Our 30 day challenge for @BreconMind is now complete ✅

It’s been a tough few weeks, but we are delighted to announce that together we have completed 2,397 miles and raised £765.00.

That’s the equivalent of 91 marathons, or from Brecon to Barcelona and back!

This is a fantastic milestone for the blog and we’re so pleased that people are reading & hopefully finding it useful! Thanks to those who continue to share it & raise awareness #MentalHealthMatters #itsallaboutpeople #itsoktobeok @MindCymru @ctmmind @PollyJames @philsteele1 🧠💙

[Brecon Corries AFC @BreconCorriesFC]

Each year, 1 in 4 people will experience a mental health problem.

No-one should have to face mental health alone, and this challenge will help ensure that professional support is available on our doorstep, whenever it may be needed.

Felt a bit flat this morning. Back to work after a long bank holiday weekend, weather's a bit gloomy after a nice couple of days, that stupid irrational anxiety lingering. Feeling a lot better though after an open & honest chat with @bespokebanking @AitchandAitchBe #GoodPeople
