Given that my last post was in March, it goes without saying that a number of projects have gone on the back-burner since COVID-19 became a large part of everyday life. Unfortunately, one of the other major impacts on everyday life has been the further impact on general mental health (nationally and worldwide).
Whatever the reason for impacting you, and the evidence is overwhelming that it is affecting us more now than ever, I wanted to focus what attention and space I can on ways that it can be supported.
So for this month I am taking part in Movember – growing a moustache to start conversations about health and mental health. Granted, it won’t quite be the same with having to wear a mask out and about (and please do wear a mask – you are responsible for your own health AND not endangering others).
My other project started through lockdown however was to use the equipment I had (mostly) laying around to experiment with streaming video and games – which I do through my twitch channel here. With this channel, my intention is to create content to support not only my own mental health (in the creation) but to build a community of likeminded people that want to support each other too.
(more updates will come through the blog as and when <3)
