"Today was a Difficult Day," said Pooh.
There was a pause.
"Do you want to talk about it?" asked Piglet.
"No," said Pooh after a bit. "No, I don't think I do."
"That's okay," said Piglet, and he came and sat beside his friend.
"What are you doing?" asked Pooh.
"Nothing, really," said Piglet. "Only, I know what Difficult Days are like. I quite often don't feel like talking about it on my Difficult Days either.
"But goodness," continued Piglet, "Difficult Days are so much easier when you know you've got someone there for you. And I'll always be here for you, Pooh."
And as Pooh sat there, working through in his head his Difficult Day, while the solid, reliable Piglet sat next to him quietly, swinging his little legs...he thought that his best friend had never been more right."

Sending thoughts to those having a Difficult Day today and hope you have your own Piglet to sit beside you.
Just what I needed today 😌
The man doesn’t know that there is a snake underneath. The woman doesn’t know that there is a stone crushing the man. The woman thinks: “I am going to fall! And I can’t climb because the snake is going to bite me! Why can’t the man use a little more strength and pull me up!” The man thinks: “I am in so much pain! Yet I’m still pulling you as much as I can! Why don’t you try and climb a little harder!?”
The moral is— you can’t see the pressure the other person is under, and the other person can’t see the pain you’re in. This is life, whether it’s with work, family, feelings or friends, we should try to understand each other. Learn to think differently, perhaps more clearly and communicate better. A little thought and patience goes a long way. ❤️

What should your child do if a friend reaches out to them wanting to self harm?
💗💗Call 111 if a life is in immediate danger and always call a responsible care giver for that young person. It could be a parent, aunt or close family friend. All adults have a duty of care to act if they are aware of a mental health situation.💗💗

🇳🇿NZ, A message from Jason Woodmass who is walking from Auckland to Wellington in support of suicide awareness. ✝️
"Have been asked to post my journey.
My journey is called "Delivering Hope" From Auckland to Wellington.
HOPE is the name of our crucifix.. and represents my small sacrifice of my body to bring awareness that are our kids in trouble.. 😢 😭
40% increase in suicides of 14 and under 😔

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.
I know many people are struggling right now so I thought I’d share a few mental health tips.
1. Focus on what you can control, which is yourself and your own actions.
2. Live one day at a time (and if that’s too tricky, take it one hour at a time).
3. Emotions are like weather. Is the weather always sunny? Is it always cloudy? Or is the weather always changing? Our emotions are always changing like the weather. Accept the passing storms of your emotions. Say to yourself, “This too shall pass”.
4. How you think determines how you feel. Challenge your unhelpful thoughts by asking yourself: What evidence is there that this is true? What are the facts? Then replace the unhelpful thoughts with helpful thoughts.
5. Your mind is a 2 million year old device designed to keep you alive, not happy. That’s why it’s always focusing on what’s wrong. Redirect your focus towards what’s right, what’s good and what you’re grateful for. What’s wrong is always available to focus on, but so is what’s right.
Take care and God bless! ☀️ by Ben Burggraaf

The new vulnerable 💔
“I'm a child psychologist. The latest restrictions that were announced today, and those that have been in place for the last nearly 2 years, are making it very difficult for me to do my job supporting children with mental health problems or developmental disabilities.
It's hard to help a child with anxiety when we are constantly being reminded of the worst case scenario.
It's hard to help a child with depression when all of their social connections and activities have been cancelled.
It's hard to help a child who has experienced trauma who needs stability when we never know what to expect.
It's hard to help a child with OCD when our entire society has become germophobic.
It's hard to help a child with a developmental disability who can't understand why all of this is happening.
It's hard to help a child with ADHD who struggles to learn from a screen.
It's hard to help a child with emotion regulation problems when their parents are stressed and unable to provide emotional support to their family.
It's hard to help a child with Autism who has difficulty managing changes in routine when things can change minute by minute.
It's hard to help a child with family conflict when they are being told to avoid certain family members.
It's hard to assess whether a child has a learning disability when their education has been constantly interrupted for the past 2 years (for some, their entire educational career).
And all of these things are hard on kids/families without pre-existing mental health struggles too!
No amount of deep breathing will help if the big picture is feeding into these mental health problems.
It's time for a more balanced approach. Let's voice our concerns for the sake of the next generation.”
