I'm sad to say that FTT is temporarily closed. If you are looking for a therapist please refer to the BABCP and BACP websites. In the meantime you are welcome to explore the back catalogue of mental health blogs over on my website https://t.co/14b9YSijvy.

I listened to this today & thought I'd share it with you all. There's some useful information specifically for people struggling with eating disorders and self-harm as well as some more general tips for dealing with the pressures of the festive season.

It's rather chilly this morning and without realising it I've been embracing Hygge! I wrapped up warm first thing and headed for a stroll around my local park. When I got home I made a cuppa, lit a candle and started work on updating my website.

For many, Bonfire Night is a moment of celebration, but for some veterans living with PTSD, it can be an incredibly difficult time. The flashes, bangs and smells of fireworks can trigger painful memories of combat and loss.

“We see a higher rate of distress in veterans accessing our services at this time of year. The sound and unexpected bangs of fireworks can be reminders of frontline combat where they were exposed to the horrors of war in service to this country.

“Firework displays bring people together and create a lot of joy for spectators. We don’t want to spoil anyone’s fun, but we urge the public to understand how distressing noisy fireworks can be for military veterans. We also want to encourage veterans who are struggling with PTSD to reach out for help, as treatment and recovery is possible,” says Dr Naomi Wilson, Clinical Director at Combat Stress.

If you need support, our free and confidential Helpline is available 24/7 on 0800 138 1619. You can also text 07537 173683 (standard rates may apply) or email [email protected].

Please note: our Helpline is not a crisis service. If you are a veteran or loved one in immediate distress, please call the NHS on 111, or dial 999 in an emergency.

Going through a storm or just been through one? You don't have to face it alone. ❤️
As Matthew says - talk to somebody. Whether you come along to an AMC group, access another support service or have a chat with your mates - always remember #ItsOkayToTalk 👌
