Old Winchester Hill: Mental Health Awareness Week
At my computer this morning I discovered that this current week (9th to 15th May) is designated Mental Health Awareness Week, the theme this year being loneliness.
I also found that the green ribbon is the international symbol of mental health awareness and this year folk are encoraged to have a 'Wear It Green day'. The only item I have in the colour green in my wardrobe is one pashmina - not enough! Thus I am posting a green scene from my archive as a contribution to this week.
I have been fortunate not to suffer from loneliness but I do have bipolar disorder. Once I discovered my diagnosis, rather late in life, I was able to research it and make myself a self-management programme. This, together with being meds compliant, has enabled me to live a good life, free from devastating bipolar episodes, for the past 20 years.
Many strands contribute to my self-management, including my passion for photography and my participation in Flickr.
