If you’ve never witnessed a panic attack, calmness and that simple question “what do you need?” go a heck of a long way to reassure the person that they are in a safe space.
Just like any other ailment, illness or disability, mental health matters. Your mental health matters.
My anxiety has been through the roof the past 2 days. Resting heart rate was up to 90bpm, didn’t drop below 100 during last night’s game and most of today’s (via updates and Flashscores). Now it’s official, I’m back down to 75. Hockey is not good for my heart!
To the kid who held up his teddies and had them kiss on the Kiss Cam at tonight match, you win Valentines Day 2025. Cutest moment and deserved the cheers from the crowd. Beautifully played, kiddo.
Decided to indulge in less snacks once I went back to work given that my work trousers dont *quite* fit. Having had dinner, I’ve just polished off half a share bag of crisps and some chocolate 🤦🏼♀️ #hidemysnacksplease
I waited as long as I felt was decent - the wine is now open. A white Rioja (didn’t know that was a thing!) that my secret santa got me and it’s lovely. And it’s all mine since he doesn’t like wine. Happy Christmas to me! #JoinIn
Well, he started watching Charlie & The Chocolate Factory and I started reading. I got around 4 chapters in, around when 5 children entered the factory. I’ve just woken up with my book shut, 2 children left in the factory and he’s devouring chocolate fudge cake. #JoinIn
It’s the ‘retire to the living room post-lunch where we absolutely won’t fall asleep but then we will both fall asleep’ portion of the afternoon. #JoinIn

Sick note has still pulled a blinder making Christmas lunch. Antibiotics played a starring role in rejuvenating his energy levels apparently. I only had to do the veg and only because he won’t eat them anyway 🙈 #MoreForMe#JoinIn
@MiMi_North1 My fella’s youngest usually phones at 5am. Not this year - she was awake and opened everything at 2am 😳 and back to bed for 6am. So lovely lie in for both of us by the sounds of it!
Doing Wordle and assumed they’d go festive for today. Put in Santa as my first attempt (changed my starting word for today only). ‘Word not in list’. I’m assuming because it’s a proper noun but still, I thought that was a decent shout! #JoinIn
Per the boss’ instructions, my out of office went on at lunchtime. Quick shop trip for some essential foods then spent the rest of the day looking after my sick note fella. Our first time spending Christmas together and I’ve given him the flu 😬
