Mental Health Week
When it comes to our mental health we stumble along blindly. It always amazes me how many people suffer with mental health issues, maybe we need to teach people and start with children, how to look after their mental health? Not just how to look out for symptoms of the serious stuff, but how to deal with stress (yes, finally they are accepting teens get stressed!) and general life upsets. I remember being a child, I had anxiety then too I just didn't know what it was!
Talking about anxiety, here's a good book that helped me when I was struggling with panic attacks in my teens:
![Overcoming Anxiety, 2nd Edition: A Books on Prescription Title (Overcoming Books) by [Kennerley, Helen]](https://images-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41jl29pGQjL.jpg)
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00GHK733Y/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1
The best thing for mental health is exercise, for me it's yoga and when I remember mindfulness meditation. You can find free videos on youtube and a lovely free course is often running on futurelearn:

If you're reading this and you have mental health problems here's me sending positive caring thoughts you're way:
And remember you are not alone (can't say that without thinking of that advert, 'you're not alone, we're a loan!' That's ruined that phrase for me). Find some support, online if you can't talk to someone face to face just yet. Don't bottle it up write it down.
You are stronger than you think and if you're feeling bad right now remember that it will pass. It's always worse than you think. I promise.

New book
The first story is called 'Find my name' by Ramsey Campbell it's a delightfully eerie tale set in the modern world.
I don't know if many read short stories but if you lack time or energy to read short stories they are the perfect antidote.
Now I want to read more by Ramsey Campbell....

It's been a while
It's been some time since I posted on here. I've been waiting on a book from the library continuing my challenge of reading out of my comfort zone. It's been a hard time for me lately so reading and writing has been difficult. I've been reading 'The Book of Life' by Deborah Harkness book three of The All Soul's Trilogy and it's helped me to escape for a bit. I've been thinking about starting a new book but can't decide which one. I can't buy new ones I'm bring strict with myself for a change. I need some comfort reading and I'm wondering if other people have a book they turn to when they need a uplifting read?
