Happy World Mental Health Day

[kingie chaser]

Firstly in this thread I just want to specifically mention all our family, friends & fellow country men & women in Melbourne & Victoria who have just found out that they are going to be in an extended lockdown.

I just wanted to try & give some support to anyone who needs it & lend an ear if I can?

I live in Sydney & while I feel I have had a tough time now being out of work for some 7 months I still lucky, lucky that I have a roof over my head & thankful I have food in the fridge.

This whole seperation of country, states & its people has been such a sore point in my mind.

I dont even feel like we are one country anymore due to the actions of politicians & thats totally wrong.

I mean I'm the 1st person to say I hope the cockroaches crush the cane toads or hope the swans whip the crows but we really need to keep thinking of this country as a whole & not seperate from one another.

Again our politicians are letting us all down imo, you only have to look at the lack of compassion in some of these bad & out of touch decisions about termanily ill people not being able to cross boarders to see its just a political game to them.


Wrong, wrong, wrong!!

Beurocaricy gone mad!

Anyway I can understand how much pressure people are under, how many businesses are struggling but I just want to say chin up all, your in the best country in the world & things will get better.

If anyone feels overwhelmed & if you think any fellow Raiders can help we will try our best othersiwe please contact someone via this page.

You just need to reach out & there will be someone willing to listen.

A very good post @kingie chaser here is one that has been shared today on my healthcare worker channels 

***WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY***

Talking about mental health could & SHOULD be as normal as talking about physical health.
