23.01.2022 Mental illness doesn’t speak like physical illness. Having mental illness is hard to explain as their is no specific words that can describe it. What’s close to it is torture, agonising pain, dark clouds that turn to storm. This can sometimes feel like waiting for the sun and rainbow that never comes. If someone has mental illness appreciate them because they are true warriors and hero’s in their own battles. . . . .... #appreciationpost #wednesdaymotivation #wednesdaythoughts #mentalillness #mentalawareness #causes #thoughts #mentalhealth #strength #courage #counselling #learn #coping #ptsd #depression #anxiety #stress #trauma #helpme #helpothers #growthmindset #growthmindsetbelievers #startwithme #here @startwithmecs contact us today we can and we will help you See more

17.01.2022 Every plant needs the correct nutrients to grow and that is water. If a plant is watered everyday they will blossom and become alive. This is the same as a persons ego, self esteem and self worth. If people do not receive the right care, love, nurture, support, trust, intimacy, protection they deserve they will fall a part and in result loose themselves becoming lost, miserable and unhappy. Relationships are about team work, communication, love, trust, respect etc. With the right person they will bring out the beauty in you. Don’t forget your self worth. You are beautiful regardless of what people may think. . . . #startwithme #mentalhealthawareness #selfcare #selflove #enough #depression #anxiety #trauma #ptsd #tuesdaythoughts #youareenough #mindfulness

16.01.2022 R U OK? Just asking this question can make a person’s day. Even those people that look OK may not be. Mental illness can be seen as someone who is happy but underneath that smile is hurt, pain, struggle and so on. Mental illness is sometimes not obvious so remember to ask R U OK. It’s the question in itself that makes that difference to that person. . . . #ruok #remember #thought #appreciation #courage #strength #mentalillness #overcome #notalone #hope #believe #believeinyourself #selfcare #selflove #mind #body #spirit

16.01.2022 Are you feeling close to giving up? Please read this.. I am a recovering ptsd survivor. I say recovering because even after so many years I am still not fully healed and I am still fighting my own battle. People think it’s all in my head, I should just change my way of thinking and it will all be better. But wait if that was the case don’t you think all of us would have done this and chosen to be happy. Mental illness is not a choice. Mental illness is; doing action before th...e motivation because the motivation doesn’t exist or is hard to find. Sometimes I wake up tired and just want to throw everything away thinking it would be easier. I wake up with clouds in my head and fog which makes it so hard to concentrate, see and remember. The worst part is when I’m triggered it’s like everything around me is on pause and I’m not even here or I’m relieving every memory of the past. Mental illness is real and affects so many of us. This is a message to families, friends and everyone affected. I want you to know we are trying even though you think we are not. We are listening even if you think we weren’t. We see even though you think we don’t. We are still human it’s just we need more time, more space, more understanding, more care, more love and nurture. People who are affected by mental illness are soldiers and warriors and in my eyes are hero’s. Regardless of what people say about you, you are worthy and your story is what made you the hero you are today. You show people that hope, strength, belief, ambition and future is possible. You make the impossible - possible because you show that CANT is just a thought in the process. Victims and survivors of PTSD deserve to be told everyday that they are important, enough and valued. So here I will tell you myself: you are enough, love yourself more then you believe and know that it will be ok because everyday is a new day. If you survived the storm yesterday allow yourself to breathe in the calmness of shelter today. If they don’t believe in you... I DO!

14.01.2022 Mental health is not a choice.. Whatever struggle, hurt, pain, stress you may be facing remember you are NOT alone. Sometimes it may feel hard to bare and you feel like giving up but remember just by getting through the day you have done more then enough. Give yourself the credit you deserve. Mental health is not YOU, it’s something that is a part of you. It is seperate from the you! Remember each day that passes you have done amazing.. BREATHE and know this you have control of it. You can and will overcome it.

13.01.2022 Why did she become silent? Why did she give up? There’s only so much someone can take before losing themselves and losing hope. Fact is the reason why people become lost and depressed in relationships is because their words are ignored and not attended to. If your partner is reaching out to you and speaking out - then LISTEN. LISTEN as in process what their saying and put action into it. Communication is essential in relationships. Without communication relationships struggle... to exist. If you continue to ignore your partners feelings, emotions, thoughts YOU will destroy not only your partner but your relationship. The signs of lost hope is silence, depression, isolation and fear of communication. Relationships are about WE not I so don’t forget to LISTEN and PROCESS and DO. Don’t let your partner down. The reason she became silent to begin with is because she choose to fight for you. She’s protecting you and the relationship. She choose to become silent because that’s the only way she could remain with you AND to see you happy. Open your eyes and help HER to. . . . #love #hope #nevergiveup #communication #relationships #counselling #mentalhealth #awareness #wednesdaypost #depression #anxiety #startwithyou #reachout See more

11.01.2022 Often victims of abuse experience self blame, guilt and a loss of their own beliefs and rights. Most people who have been exposed to sexual abuse or domestic violence often struggle to distinguish when a person changes and becomes their true selves. They have a sense of hope that their partner will come back to who they were. They have an internal blame that questions themselves and their actions. It is often empaths that end up in these relationships with perpetrators who di...splay narcissistic traits. Perpetrators are those that blame their victims for their faults. Conversations get turned against the victim and the victim Is left feeling neglected and even more vulnerable. Victims then choose to silence themselves so that their partners are happy. Most victims even choose to neglect themselves in the hope that things will become the way they used to but in fact it doesn’t. If this is you. Please contact us today. We can help you work on you.

07.01.2022 Mental illness is real and this is what it looks like. Many people mask their true feelings in fear that they will be judged as weak or abnormal to others. This is NOT the case. Mental illness is common and it affects almost everyone. If anyone is suffering with a mental illness they need to know it’s OK. If you are not ok you should be able to voice it instead of hide. Speaking up is the first step. People don’t choose to be mentally ill, if it was a choice people would choo...se not to have it and people would be happy. Understanding mental illness is important so that WE as therapists can normalise your experience. YOU are not the only one who is suffering. People need to know that to have a mental illness doesn’t mean you are no different to everyone else. It’s your own battle and you will overcome it. People need to know it will be ok. It’s OK to speak up. It’s OK to get help. Don’t give up. Learn to turn the page of your book and start a new chapter. A new chapter that will enable you to make the impossible POSSIBLE. You can and YOU will be happy . . . #notalone #staystrong #hope #courage #change #holdon #selfcare #selflove #believe #happiness #mentalhealth #mind #body #spirit #youareenough #depression #anxiety #stress #ptsd #trauma #itsok #ruok See more

03.01.2022 **Domestic violence awareness** Before you think they will change, think about how hard it is to change yourself. Now imagine trying to change someone else.. Sometimes it’s better not to see the good in someone that can’t see it themselves. Believe what you see not what you hear. ... @startwithme

03.01.2022 Today I want to raise awareness around domestic violence and the importance of seeking help. Due to my warm nature I often get strangers within the community unloading a lot of their current problems to me. What I’ve noticed is a lot of people are struggling to break the cycle of a toxic relationship they are in. Toxic relationships often are those where emotional, verbal, physical, stalking and so are taking place in the relationship. If you are experiencing even one of thes...e then yes you are in an unhealthy relationship. Being stuck in a toxic relationship can be described as an addiction in itself. What happens is that every time the person is without their partner they begin to experience withdrawals that then lead to cravings to have them back and so in order for them to feel content again they go back. What really happens is the person who is stuck in this toxic cycle becomes codependent on their partner. This is where they feel that their partner will change and continue to have hope that they continue to invest so much into them but in reality nothing has changed. Generally people in these kind of relationships lose themselves and become isolated and alone because of their partner. It is said that toxic relationships are the hardest to come out from? Yes this is true. But remember this, it takes time for the victim to break free from their denial phase and realise that their partner will never change. People need to remember this change does NOT occur within 3 days or 3 weeks or 3 months and that change is consistent. If you are a victim of domestic violence don’t be afraid to speak up.. You are not alone, let us help you. For that matter help starts with YOU. See more
