Youse, I’ve taken some sickleave this week from my day job because I was a bit mental. Ha ha. Mental illness is hilarious. God it sounds so dramatic. Sometimes I just need a little break. I’m seeing my therapist and my GP so don’t worry about me.

Like I tell my kids, mental health days matter. Sometimes we need to cry to cleanse, sleep to remember your dreams, and step into the quiet to hear what our hearts need you to know. Good on you for recognizing what you need and taking care of it. I'm proud of you. You should be too. 😊
As an American, thank you for caring. Many of us are constantly on edge here and despair is palpable at times. It's wonderful that across the world there are people rallying for us. It sparks hope.
I think like everyone I have been deeply affected first by the fires in Los Angeles and then by the recent actions of both the New Zealand government and the United States administration.
It would be an understatement to say that I am experiencing existential fear .
What’s happening in America right now Is like a terminally ill friend who you knew was going to die, but it’s still deeply shocking when they finally do pass.
I have found the current administration of the USA to be deeply shocking, despite understanding in advance what it would be like
Yes this is how I feel, and I'm from there & also knew this would happen, but it's just too much. Feels like something is going to burst and I hate this feeling.
Imagine how I feel. I've had to delete all of my news apps, and I'm now taking a class from MoMA called "Art Practices for Well-Being". I'm so tired of my torso, my back, my stomach, my obliques being infused with nerves as soon as I wake up in the morning and get cognizant. My gag reflex is bad.
absolutely. this global lurch toward fashy, rightwing populism is going to leave lots of us needing to focus on self-care so we can be there for others. kia kaha; your whānau need you to be strong enough to _be_ that shining beacon. be good to you, aye.
If it's any consolation, some of your posts these last few days have been just the ticket. Can't remember which ones, but was on the point of reminding you of your post a few months ago asking what we wanted you to post, and saying "these right here, thanks".
Anyone at any given point of time will feel the need to take a break from this cray-cray world. I reckon you're stronger for knowing when that moment hits. Nothing dramatic about it. Take care of you x

If it’s any consolation we’re all in the quagmire holding hands with you 💖🌹
