I’m wondering, if you block everyone on Twitter with a differing opinion to your own, what is the point of having an account? #blocked

Followers of the pod might have noticed that we’ve been a bit quiet recently. For various reasons we have decided to put series 2 on hold till 2022. We’re looking forward to returning with a bang but till then keep listening to series 1 and keep the tweets coming 💙

@MackenzieLitt13 @MHChat It’s tough to do that when you’re struggling yourself though…

@MackenzieLitt13 @MHChat I think all we can do is whatever we can with the people around us. Pay attention and always consider the kinder option.

@MHChat Not when people want to die, when people no longer want to live is when death doesn’t feel so terrifying anymore. It looks different in a person; they are at ease, calm and almost thankful for not being scared of death anymore.

@MHChat Death is in-built as a terrifying concept. Many people have times where they wish their pain would “end” and they might think of death as an option briefly as it’s a natural automatic coping thought. However the terror of death often blocks that thought from becoming reality.

@MHChat A4 I see everyday conversations as an opening to what might be going on for that person, & an opportunity for a moment of compassion that might just make the difference between life or not. Compassion can be shown in such small ways but it’s so easily forgotten #MHChat

@MHChat The ideal is to live in a society that promotes openness and let’s go of stigma so that people can feel more able to seek and receive support. I’m unsure how we achieve this. There are so many factors at play that prevent people from choosing life #MHChat

@MHChat A3 I think a lack of control can contribute hugely. The health system’s medicalised model has a lot to answer for in making people think there’s a ‘quick fix’ to problems. People seek that and find themselves feeling out of control and hopeless. #MHChat

@MHChat @samaritans A2 small talk itself may not be the answer, but opening up a line of communication can be what makes the difference between someone seeking help and someone ending it all #MHChat

@MHChat @samaritans A2 everyday conversation can make someone who feels invisible feel seen. That can make a huge difference. It’s important that whatever “small talk” it is though is genuine and kind #MHChat

@MHChat 1. It's just sadness 2. You can never have fun/smile/laugh if you have it 3. It's just 'who you are' and cannot be overcome (this one is particularly damaging for those who are suffering with depression)

@HerseyJane @MHChat I totally agree, it's no surprise that more people than ever are suffering with depression. There is something inherent about our society structure that deepens this issue. However, focusing on what we cannot control is often a maintaining factor of depression.

@MHChat @HerseyJane Many people (with or without depression) want to regain something they have lost. But sometimes it is about letting go of those things and creating something new. Depression keeps us stuck in a space where we cannot accept the past but are unable to move forward

@edvardoarcher @MHChat That's a fascinating idea. It's as if depression keeps us stuck in a space that does not make room to resolve issues of the past or work towards the future. With the present often feeling too difficult to engage with, where does that leave us?
