While you consider who to vote for in May, think about this. Our mental health is shaped by whether we feel safe, connected, valued & hopeful. As a therapist, I see the links every day. I’ve worked with people driven by fear but when they found hope, stability & positivity, their lives changed...

The reaction you get when you actually care about the work you do & the impact it has on people’s daily life. He's achieved more in 100 days than others have during their entire time in office. @zackpolanski.bsky.social is having the same impact in UK. The power of positivity #GreenParty #politics

Living by #Bristol docks means unexpected visitors & daily reminders of how diverse our urban wildlife is. The #GreenParty has the vision to make life better for everyone. Not just our #environment but better #education, #health, #equality&diversity @carladenyer.bsky.social @zackpolanski.bsky.social

Sadly my wonderful local pub The Merchants Arms in Hotwells has been hit for the third time. Thankfully no serious injuries but Emily and the staff will have to close for quite a while. Hope @patdbmcallister.bsky.social & Bristol City Council can find funding to stop it happening again.

Well said, Carla. It's wonderful having you as my MP. The people of Gorton and Denton will have a true local voice in Parliament. #politics #hope #GreenParty

Got up feeling incredible today. As a hypnotherapist, I know the power of positivity — and nothing’s stopping me sharing it. Hope can rise above hate. Let’s work together to make this country something truly special. #Positivity #Hope #Community #GreenParty #Politics

Mental health is political. The systems we live in shape how we feel every day. That’s why so many people see the Green Party as more than a vote — it’s an investment in well‑being. Real hope. Real change. #TheGreenParty #mentalhealth #gortonanddenton #politics

I have worked over the last 6 years with many people with addiction problems. They all destroy lives, and gambling is no different. #gambling #addiction #hypnotherapy #GreenParty #gortonanddenton

Fascinating insight with @sianberry.bsky.social during the Be A Green Mp @greenparty.org.uk. Hope it inspires others to stand and support the #party of #change it is the only future for this country. #politics #elections #green

This is why I joined the @greenparty.org.uk last year. The only #political party that can bring real change and improve people's lives 💯

As we age, our bodies go through numerous changes, both physically and mentally. One aspect that often gets overlooked is the decrease in testosterone levels in men, starting from around the age of 30. Testosterone levels can fall by about 1% per year from the age of 30 to 40.

This is a wonderful poem by Jasmine Kaur. She writes with amazing power. Given what has happened in the US election, more people should read her words. 'Scream, so that one day, a hundred years from now, another sister will not have to dry her tears wondering where in history she lost her voice'.

A high school junior (16) shared her experience of how girls and boys at her school reacted to the US election. I was moved and unsettled by this beautifully-written piece, including by the line “the kind of man my mother instructs me to cross the street to avoid will be addressed as Mr President”.

720,000, from the WHO, covers both genders. However, men account for 75/80% & the leading cause of death of men under 50. More help needs to be provided to support mental health. I've lost 2 close friends, one in 20's & the other 30's. Reach out and talk. There are solutions. #mentalhealth

Whatever you do, there are simple ways to improve or #mentalhelath & #wellbeing Our surroundings can lift us up or down. Make time to explore your #environment. Spending 10 minutes in your garden, a walk in a park or sitting on a bench can help you connect and reset.

Many people are unaware of how and why #hypnotherapy is effective in changing the way we think. It changed my mindset around #Tinnitus, and now I help others to free their mind from #anxiety and other negative thoughts. Find out more. #positivity #wellbeing shorturl.at/w2xx9

In a world full of toxicity, spreading kindness, positivity, and encouragement to others impacts your own mental health. Your feed is a reflection of your mindset. Interacting positively releases the hormone oxytocin, making you feel happier and less stressed. #mentalhealth #positivity #wellness

A quick thought for the day. When we share experiences and work together, we have the power to change. Not only ourselves but those around us. #positivity #mentalhealth

This is an excellent read. The US election affects the whole world, but there is little we can do about what happens over the next 4 years. It's out of our control. What we can control is how we think & react. Overwhelm occurs when our stress bucket is too full. Take time to relax & switch off.

The cost of living crisis is a crisis driven by fossil fuels. It's a crisis of inequality where richest 1% of the world emit more than poorest two thirds. Marching today with @thegreenparty.bsky.social & lots of organisations for social, racial, economic & environmental justice. 🇵🇸🌎✊🏼

I am finally in the process of leaving X/Twitter and looking forward to connecting again with people in a more positive place. I'll be chatting about mental health, the environment, sport, the arts and anything else that piques my interest.
