eeling the heat? ☀️💊

If you take antidepressants, hot weather can sometimes affect you differently. Some antidepressants may increase sweating, make it harder for your body to regulate temperature, or contribute to dehydration which can make heat feel more intense.

That doesn’t mean you should stop taking your medication. Instead, stay hydrated, keep cool, avoid prolonged time in extreme heat, and speak to your doctor or pharmacist if you notice unusual symptoms or are worried about how your medication affects you in hot weather.

Know your medication. Know the signs. Stay cool. 💙

🌡️ Feeling more irritable, anxious, or exhausted during hot weather? You're not imagining it.

High temperatures can affect more than just physical comfort—they can also impact mental wellbeing. Heat can disrupt sleep, increase stress levels, reduce concentration, and worsen symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions.

If you're struggling during a heatwave, try to:
💧 Stay hydrated
🏠 Keep cool where possible
😴 Prioritise rest and sleep
🤝 Check in with friends, family, and neighbours
🧠 Be mindful of changes in your mood and wellbeing

Looking after your mental health is just as important as protecting your physical health in hot weather.

Gratitude doesn't always have to come from life's biggest moments. Sometimes, it's found in the little things - a warm cup of coffee, a quiet morning, a text from a friend, the sound of rain, or simply making it through another day.

When it comes to mental health, celebrating the small wins and appreciating the little moments can make a big difference. It's a reminder that even on difficult days, there is still something to hold onto.

Today, take a moment to notice one small thing you're grateful for. It might not change everything, but it can gently shift your perspective.

A little update on our crisis house garden's progress...

New plants are in and it's looking absolutely beautiful in the sunshine, and don't worry we are watching our water usage out there in the heat.

Spending time outdoors, even for just 15–20 minutes, can have a positive impact on your mental wellbeing. Whether it's a walk through the park, sitting in your garden, or simply enjoying some fresh air, being in nature can help reduce stress, lift your mood, and bring a sense of calm.
