This is my bad weekend with chemo stuck in bed... it does get me frustrated and upset.. but I allow myself the tears and grief.. it can be a lonely place and not because I dont have friends and family checking in... It gets lonely cos you feel everyone else is getting on with and enjoying life... ( even with the sun gone missing) Its really stupid but what really gets to me the last few days is my bday around the corner... its just a reminder how much Im missing out on. We had so many plans for this year... The last 6 yrs we have been joking how it goes on for a month, travelling seeing our fav bands all over Europe, partying at the most awesome clubs, hosting parties for our friends making memories.. I know this situation is temporary. But it doesnt make it easier. Im good 99% of the time, so in that 1% you cant give yourself a hard time for feeling low. Its ok to say you are not Ok. Whatever it is that you are going through. ❤️❤️❤️ NOW... 😁😁😁 4 - 5 more days of this and be back to smiling and shooting so lets concentrate on that... and in thr meantime watch some silly cartoons on netflix and get spoiled and looked after by @lutherblack13 😁🥰 Model @patsypleasure #intense #oknottofeelok
The only approval and validation you need is your own. Just be a fundamentally good person, and you will do amazing things!

Feeling grateful... 💞💞💞 thank you for the calls, flowers, medicine, groceries, soups & prepared meals & most importantly love sent my way. It’s easy when things are going well not to realize others may need help. Keep an eye out for those you may not have heard from or who seem to be down during these difficult times. We all need help sometimes & that’s ok. My personal reason I am posting is because I got Shingles 😩 due to a weakened immune system & stress. We’re all under a lot of stress right now even if we don’t think so. It’s ok to acknowledge that. If you are due to get the Shingles vaccine & have been putting it off PLEASE check with your doctor & follow up. So many people have told me they have been putting it off. I thought I was too young and invincible to get them, but if the past few years has taught me anything, I know now that that is NOT the case! Keep up with your health & check in with others... I am starting to turn the corner, so if anyone needs anything please reach out. Nothing to be gained by suffering alone.. We’re all in this together!!! 💞💞💞.. #grateful #staystrong #shinglessuck #oknottofeelok #askforhelp #spreadkindness #spreadlove #spreadpositivity #is2020overyet #lookingforwardto2021
Today is #internationalmensday my Husband asked me if He was on my ‘list’ earlier🤣 On a more serious note, according to WHO suicide is the biggest killer of men under 45. So tell the Men in your life you love them and it’s #oknottofeelok
Lately I have been feeling helpless with the Covid situation in the world 🌍 . Covid is so present over there it feels like it's never going to end. I miss my family and friends so much, not knowing when we're going to see each other again is just really hard . We are so lucky here in New Zealand to be able to live our lives almost normally ... and I'm so grateful for that . So it's ok not to feel ok, about this and about other things. We can't always have amazing days and feel great constantly. It's ok if today if it's one of those days 💕

“When you're high on emotion And you're losing your focus And you feel too exhausted to pray Don't get lost in the moment Or give up when you're closest All you need is somebody to say It's okay not to be okay It's okay not to be okay When you're down and you feel ashamed It's okay not to be okay” Demi Lovato totally speaks to me. Haven’t felt myself the last few weeks. When you’re feeling less than 💯 make sure to take some time for you, talk to someone, and whatever else you need to! You’re not alone! #oknottofeelok #strongertogether #spartanstrong #zyiastrongwithandrea
As we all navigate this new normal it is increasingly important to check in with ourselves every day.💓 How are you feeling today? And to acknowledge that whatever you are feeling thats it's OK. 💚 If you can make a little time just for you each day. You will feel alot better for it. 💜 And remember to be kind to yourself, none of us have lived through a pandemic before. 💕
NOT BEING. When you feel like your out of body. When you feel like your now living in your own mind so much that your non existent anywhere else. Not being. Not being able to catch enough strength to climb from your sweaty pillow and just be. Not being able to cultivate how their happy and living. Because your deep in your mentality so much you can’t concentrate on anything else. TO BEING. To being able to find the strength to brush your hair and put on matching pjs. To being able to finally connect with whoever your brain wouldn’t allow you to see. To being. To being able to laugh until your eyes leak with happiness. To being able to go out in public again without feeling shameful. To finally being you. To finally being free.

School is out of session, but help is always available! If you or a friend need a listening ear during winter break, please use one of the listed resources.

#OkNotToFeelOk #CheckIn #MentalHealthAwareness during #HolidaySeason Recognize that the #PeopleInYourLife are who they are. It is not new information who will be the Scrooge, so don't have unrealistic expectations or who will be generous to a fault. No one is going to change just because it’s the holidays. Let go of the idea you can change anyone who bugs you. Find constructive ways to minimize their impact on your life. Put your energy and time into those who know how to love and whose presence makes you happy. Give yourself permission to #LetSomeThingsGo. Take a moment each morning to gather your thoughts. Make a list of all the things you have to do and want to do. Check off the two or three items that are really important to you. Let yourself entertain the idea of letting go of many of the others — or at least reducing them in some way. Many of us make our own stress by buying into the “have to’s.” #TakeTime every day to enjoy something about the season. It’s easy to get caught up in the busyness... But are you enjoying any of it? Stop. Breathe. Take a few minutes to enjoy the decorations on the lampposts or to really look at the lights. Take care of yourself. We should do this all the time but it’s especially important to get enough sleep, to eat right, and to get some exercise every day when stressed. #SelfCare is not an “extra,” even though it may seem to take too much time. Time invested in yourself each day will more than pay off in your general sense of well-being. Everything in #moderation. Be mindful of your own tipping points when it comes to holiday indulgences. You already know your limits. Listen to your own good sense and you’ll avoid waking up with regrets... #Reach out. Lonely? Being alone, far from family or without one during the holidays is a key source of stress for many people. Connect with friends and plan some activities that celebrate the season Do random #ActsofKindness.Get into the season of giving. Doing good will make you feel good #Be grateful. Research has shown that taking the time to be grateful every day has enormous physical and mental health benefits. It helps build our immune systems, keep in touch with good

In the past few months I've made some awesome strides in my mental health. I finally feel like I can breathe again and enjoy some of the things I love doing. With that said, some of the anxiety in my life has crept back in and I've had some bad nightmares here and there. I won't allow that to erase my progress. It's really ok not to feel ok. #mentalhealth #mentalillness #mentalhealthawareness #mentalwellness #mentalwellbeing #anxiety #depression #suicideprevention #oknottofeelok #mentalhealthrecovery
Early night after being up early walkibg darkness into light. What a truely amazing experience. Remember folks its ok not to feel ok. #darknessintolight #oknottofeelok #sisters #pietahouse
I played at a @cycleagainstsuicide event a few years ago with @whitechalkofficial and was extremely touched by the honesty from the speakers and the numbers that were there. It is ok not to feel ok and most definitely ok to ask for help. I'm lucky enough to be able to speak through song which was something I forgot how to do for years. It seriously affected my mental health because I no longer had this output. I had to learn that it was ok to talk through what I was feeling and eventually I was able to put it to music again. Realising that it was ok to ask for help was a huge step in the right direction and today I finally feel myself again. Schools will be wearing orange all over the country to help raise mental health awareness on the 17 of February!
