23.01.2022 How stress and anxiety link to drinking - A blog post on Hello Sunday Morning "Is my drinking a way that I am managing my anxiety, or is my anxiety partly a result of my drinking and all the things that come with it? And, where does stress fit into all of this? Is it the same, or separate to anxiety? If you are an anxious person who is under stress, you may be existing in a state of mild discomfort. It is not a comfortable feeling to be on edge or tense, and alcohol is somet...hing that significantly shifts that, really quickly. We become conditioned to believe that this is perhaps the only way to take away the discomfort, or relive the stress we are feeling and so drinking becomes more and more of a coping strategy, particularly when we are having a difficult time in our lives and are stressed, burnt out or unhappy."

Here are a few tips prepared by Headspace to make sure you stay safe & enjoy the Schoolies period: - Set your own standards: Don't do something just because everyone else is doing it - Look after your friends: Don't leave your friends on their own, arrange a meeting point so you know where everyone is & help your friends stay away from risky situations - Mixing drinks and/or drugs can get messy and the effects can be unpre...dictable - Call 000 if anyone is passed out or in trouble - To be completely safe, don't use drugs.

12.01.2022 Hack on triple j are absolutely right; many young people who experience problems because of their drinking don't seek help because 1) they're afraid to get help, 2) they don't know where to get help, and 2) they don't think that anything can help.

It is anonymous and confidential, free, and delivered online, making it more flexible and convenient.

03.01.2022 Excerpts from Ideas at TED written by Thu-Huong Ha "One in every four people experiences mental health issues yet more than 40 percent of countries worldwide have no mental health policy. Across the board it seems like we have no idea how to talk about it respectfully and responsibly. Stigma and discrimination are the two biggest obstacles to a productive public dialogue about mental health; indeed, the problem seems to be largely one of communication. So we asked seven men...tal health experts: How should we talk about mental health? How can informed and sensitive people do it right and how can the media do it responsibly?" The key points: - End the stigma - Avoid correlations between criminality and mental illness - There is correlation between mental illness and suicide - Avoid words like "crazy" or "psycho" - If you feel comfortable sharing your experience with mental health, do it - Don't define a person by his/her mental illnesses - Separate the person from the problem - We need to talk about mental health - Recognise contributions of people with mental health differences - Humour helps!

02.01.2022 "When I was young, I often found myself with a drink in my hand. I thought it was key to my mental health. Yes you read that right. I thought it mellowed me. I thought it took away my anxiety. I was a lot more fun to be around after just a couple of drinks (though it never stopped there). I felt more like the real me. It cleared my mind and took away all my worries. I felt like a normal person... I started noticing I was reaching for the bottle when I was stressed... Af...ter much thought, I realized that alcohol is not just alcohol for me. The reality is, nothing gets resolved that way for me and with anxiety, it only puts off the inevitable. The anxiety was still there when I sobered up. I had to realize that for me, alcohol only added to my anxiety. It brought on more second thoughts, more doubt and more fear." - Nikki Newcomb
