As we approach mid afternoon on a May Monday and with my LinkedIn full of reminders that it is Mental Health Awareness week - I wanted to do my own shout out... this is purely based on my own mental health journey, everyone is different and will be affected in different ways.
An awareness/understanding of mental wellbeing (your own and those around you) should be at the forefront of your mind every day… not just for a week in May… and I genuinely believe it is now more than ever!
These most unusual of times are proving to be a real test, even for those of us who, through our own experience have mechanisms in place to help us react and respond when the flares are triggered.
If you are lucky enough not to have experienced any detrimental impact on your mental wellbeing – you may not recognise “your triggers” or the feeling when “your flares go up” the differences may be so subtle that you hardly notice them. Until one day, you do… and then they are all you can see/feel.
Mine will start with feeling low, sometimes with a reason, sometimes not
I go to bed early, “try and shift it” (who recognises this saying?)
If I wake up and feel the same, I start to get irritable – frustrated that it’s still lingering…
But this is “my flare” – this is the signal to myself that this isn’t going to “just go”
This is the point that I look for help, family, friends, there are more organisations than ever out there purely to listen…
I have seen a post on LI about if we have ever worked together to get in touch… and I think it's brilliant! It is a shout out that there are people that can help and want to help!
I work in IT recruitment, have done for 15ys… I am lucky that I haven’t been furloughed, or laid off – I am working from home continuing to do the job that I love… We ARE seeing green shoots of positivity and if I can help you – I want to!!
So, if you are in my network and I can help – please message me… I can’t promise I will get you placed in your next perfect job within the week… but I can promise you that as a team we will work hard to find opportunities to put your way! We will talk to you about any roles that we have or we can foresee that we think will be a match for you and we promise to represent you in the best possible way. We will know enough about you that means we can have conversations with our clients on your behalf - I can share information, help with your CV, help with interview prep if you have one lined up, I can listen and I can share/advise/support.
