Thank you CLKD. I am so glad people are becoming more aware of mental health issues and nobody should be ashamed or demonised as a result of struggling.

We need more places to go simply to sit.  When distressed I had no neighbours: all at work : I would go to the surgery sometimes where they would offer a cup of tea.  That no longer happens. MIND Charity have also helped me.

I feel disappointed that Google did not do something today. They often change the drawing around their name for world day events.

I agree with you. It is something that can effect anybody so it would be nice to raise awareness about it.

Just a warning to ladies on the forum in case this comes your way but i think we've been scammed today in our local city by a man selling wristbands for mental health called complex minds.  There is no website link when i looked it up at home and i found this article in another local paper highlighting it.  It looks like him.

https://www.worcesternews.co.uk/news/18709264.man-selling-charity-wristbands-worcester-fraud/

We should of known better.  All too easy for him to say that money was going to Mind or the Samaritans.

Thank you for sharing this. How sad he is pulling on the heartstrings to get money and keeping it for himself.

Police matter; as well as Trading Standards and those who allow 'beggars' on the streets, they have to be in charge of a licence to trade.

I will find a city council contact or police this afternoon & report it.
Tbh I hate going into our local city nowadays. I used to go in at least once a week or more for different reasons usually saw someone I knew for a chat or wave & the whole place had a good atmosphere. Not now changed shops no longer independent  no character many now empty & too many students.  Beam me up Scottie! !
