I needed to get this off my chest. How chronic illnesses can make me feel. Daily I can face this but what gets me through is #Love #hope and #perserverance.. my family have been my rock & my compass..THANKS sonia henshall . In my 57th year, I'm determined to change this picture🙏💓

One day at a time. One task at a time One step at a time. Our human bodies function this way too. One breath & one heart beat at a time. remember this when juggling many activities. How often have you been overwhelmed with all the jobs that need doing ? Just do one thing 🙏

Do we still see the bigger picture? I often wonder what the difference is between now & my parents era (40s/50s) what did they turn too for support! Church - morals? Stoicism - keep going? Community - overcome together? Hmm food for thought?🙏

Catastrophic thoughts are dominant mostly. So having something to stand on, believe in, value most can often be what gets us through.. thinking about this, especially when not in panic mode, will help the mind remember this when it needs it . So cultivate faith in something 🙏

Men cry. Men break down. Men have suicidal thoughts. Men die by suicide. Men suffer with mental illness. There’s no such thing as “manning up.” Check in on your mate—ask if he’s okay, ask twice, ask three times. You don’t need to fix it, just listen. 💜

Some days you just need a hug.. 🤗 🫂 🌲 it's small things that make memories. Go make some 🙏 We did @tatton_park Bearhunt. Even with #chronichealth issues if you take your time rest often it's surprising what might happen. #love #live #laugh #play #Daretodream #nevergiveup

Hear you brother 🙏
