Finding my local community mental health service has helped me deal with my grief.
I try to stay busy if something is playing on my mind.
The simple things, like going out for coffee or reading a book, calm me down.
Listening to music, being outdoors, and talking to friends makes me feel good.
Moving my body, walking, running, dancing, doing yoga and Pilates really boosts my endorphins and helps me connect to my breathing, which relaxes me.
I used to be really ashamed and embarrassed about my poor mental health, but after speaking to family about it, I don’t feel like that anymore.
Having a yarn with mates is the best medicine.
