In the current political times, Bluesky is really coming into its own. I'm so glad of it right now.

This thread is some of the most sense I've read recently. It suddenly all becomes extremely clear what is going on.

Giving in to aggression doesnt lead to peace, it's just submission.

Back to work today! I was lucky enough to have 25, 26, 27 Dec off, plus the weekend. I've had a good rest but it was tough when the alarm went off earlier!

I've read the Michel Faber one. I haven't read the others but have read other books by those authors that I really enjoyed.

For people with mental illness, drugs and alcohol can be a key survival strategy. I’ve learned they shouldn’t have to ‘get clean’ to get treatment This is the moment of truth. John’s story is no longer trapped in the clinical pages of a case file. ‘I’ve lost everything,’ he says. ‘I might as well be dead.’

Diving deep into the nexus of mental health & substance use, my article @ConversationUK advocates for holistic treatment approaches. 🌿 It's time for a paradigm shift—towards integrated care rooted in compassion & understanding.
