The anticipation of a COVID outbreak happening in your state or region can seriously affect one’s mental health. Having good mental health enables you to feel good and function effectively, providing yourself with opportunities for growth and development.
Congratulations on becoming a new dad, but now what? Becoming a father will probably be one of the biggest and rewarding moments of your life, but it can also be a daunting task. You can do a range of things to be a hands-on parent that will help you, your baby, and your marriage.
So I wasn’t going to share this, been going back and forth thinking it’s inappropriate, but hey you don’t have to read it and everyone else shares their birth story, just that this one has a different ending.
When I had my first child, he was put on my chest and I felt like it was all ok. He was crying but I had this really strong feeling of knowing he was ok.
Mental Illness unfortunately doesn’t have boundaries. It doesn’t matter if you are rich, poor, educated, non educated etc. Anyone can suffer it any time.
Having my second child, presented many challenges. Ones that would later define my mental health and put me into a mother and babies unit. Admitting defeat and being placed there was the last thing that I ever wanted but it was the way it happened.
Once we uncover our ‘passion’ there’s no stopping what we can achieve, right? Popular culture tells us that harnessing our ‘passion’ will unlock the secrets to the universe. Destiny will be our guiding light and we’ll be jumping out of bed with a purpose-driven zest for life that will make everything before seem like a dress rehearsal.
I’m the extremely proud, but also tired Mum of a girl who has strength and passion that some could only dream of.
The relationship status most women have with their private parts is ‘complicated’ to say the least. Unlike our male counterparts whose parts dangle in the open breeze, our genitalia is a hidden mysterious world. Discoverable only after some serious limbering up, a few yoga poses and a hand mirror, you could say it requires some commitment!
So often I see my partner lying on the couch without a care in the world while the laundry basket is overflowing, dishes are on the counter and the floor is covered in cat hair. Why is it that as Women we feel guilty doing nothing- something that our kids and partners do without thought?
On Thursday the 26th of November, Women’s Health and Wellbeing Services was very proud and excited to launch the new arm of the organisation.
Life balance. Where is it? Can I buy it? Can I study it? How do I actually obtain this fictious myth that I can have some form of balance in my life because at the moment (well actually, the last 8 years) (side note, happy 8th birthday to my son in December, coincidence, I think not) my life feels more like this GIF below, than balanced.
