#Christmas can be a struggle if you have an #eatingdisorder. It is just another day, if you recognise it will be a trigger then don’t put pressure on yourself, stick to a balanced meal plan. Prioritise #recovery

[Aura🌻 @Auras_Journey]

Mental illness does not magically go away over Christmas. Big love to anyone struggling right now and anyone worried about the upcoming festivities 💛

[Dr Elizabeth McNaught @DrEMcNaught]

We can choose to try to stop ourselves ruminating on negative thoughts or we can choose to engage in active distraction when anxious thoughts are building. The result may not always be being “happy” but we can move ourselves forward in a positive way.

[Dr Elizabeth McNaught @DrEMcNaught]

I saw this in a cafe over the weekend and initially felt fairly affronted by what appears a fairly frivolous statement, especially if you struggle with poor mental health. You can’t choose not to have an mental illness.
1/3

[Dr Elizabeth McNaught @DrEMcNaught]

Someone living with depression can’t just decide to be happy one day and someone living with anxiety can’t just decide to be calm. But as I reflected I pondered how we can make choices in our day which don’t actively make our mental health worse, and heck may be a positive.

Food shopping together can be helpful for someone with an #eatingdisorder, take it at their pace and gently encourage them to try out different foods and to avoid buying #binge or #restrictive food #MondayMotivations #mentalhealth

[Dr Elizabeth McNaught @DrEMcNaught]

Mental health conditions thrive in isolation, contact can be hard
but it doesn’t have to be impossible, even a small text every day could be
helpful! #recovery #SundayThoughts

[Dr Elizabeth McNaught @DrEMcNaught]

@HopeVirgo I think you are doing an amazing job! My daughter flora is a few weeks younger than yours and day naps are my nemesis! She mostly contact sleeps!

[Dr Elizabeth McNaught @DrEMcNaught]

If today has been a bad day try hard to let it go, don’t let
today’s bad day ruin what could be tomorrows good day! #mentalhealth

That Friday night feeling is even stronger when you've just finished the final checks on a 400-page book's typesetting. Been a long journey but we got there! Kudos especially to @DrEMcNaught for fitting in her writing around clinical work during Covid https://t.co/QzykVAyXgA
