Any health issue needs to be addressed by the medical profession, however, there is a lot to be said for support gained from fellow suffers. Only they can truly understand where you are coming from and offer tried and tested suggestions. This is true for any health condition including mental health.
At Tea and Cake for the Soul, I try to address issues that I have experience of. I cover various health and mental health conditions and I try to offer useful suggestions or point you in the direction of where to get additional support.
I also write for other websites on health matters.
One of the reasons for starting this blog was to give tips and support to those suffering from mental illness.
Below you will find links to all my previous posts but please keep checking back as I have lots of new posts to come. You can sign up for free email notifications so that you don’t miss any new posts.
In late 2017 I wrote a series of self-help blogs for improving mental health. It was a long hard slog and took me more than a year to write. I finally published my personal story and hopefully lots of useful tips on how to deal with it for sufferers and carers. It has received some great feedback.
I have also written some posts about menopause pertaining to anxiety and body confidence issues.
Cancer is something that affects us all in one way or another so I try to raise awareness for that, and I share how I successfully gave up smoking.
