Without medication, what's the best thing against anxiety and depression?

Does anyone else collect really cool notebooks and then never use them because they’re too nice to mess up? 😅

There’s a mom at our school drop-off. Messy bun, always three minutes late, kids usually eating dry cereal out of a Ziploc. The "Pinterest moms" always whispered about her. I honestly felt a little bad for her. Then one day at the playground, my neurodivergent son had a massive, violent sensory meltdown. I’m sitting in the dirt, crying, totally paralyzed. The "perfect" moms just stared and pulled their kids away. Suddenly, she’s there. The messy mom. She drops her giant bag, sits right in the dirt next to us, pulls a heavy sensory toy out of her purse, and calmly shields my son from the crowd. No panic. No judgment. He regulated in three minutes. I was speechless. We had coffee after. She told me her house is a disaster and she has severe ADHD, but she knows exactly what a nervous system collapse looks like. I asked her how she deals with the judgmental stares from the other moms. She took a sip of her cold coffee and said: "Perfect moms know how to bake organic muffins. Chaotic moms know how to survive the trenches." Every time I see her running late now, I just smile. Girls, be like the messy mom. Stop apologizing for your chaos.

@SaffronKim I said I would like to do child care in a nursery - or be a nanny - or counselling/social work. Was advised I would not be able to attain the relevant qualifications. So I started out at the local biscuit factory… Fast forward - am now am on year 24 of a social work career 🤷‍♀️

@Swingbridge2 So no fishing vans etc?

@studant47 About 6 weeks and will stay shut - despite some idiot trying to prise the lock off recently. Been a lot quieter at night so can’t be a bad thing

Yippee- I am now available to work more

@JAMortram I am confident that as an unpaid carer, I work harder than most in employment. On average, I get 4 hours of sleep a night. I'm on call 24/7, with no breaks, no annual leave, and no sick pay. I haven't had a holiday in 11 years. Most people haven't got a clue what it's like.

i just want a covered porch so i can sit outside in thunderstorms like an old lady with my coffee and mumble "we needed this"

People don’t forget to communicate with someone they prioritize. If they’re silent, that’s your answer.

3/ I spent 21 years in policing. I investigated rapes and child sexual exploitation. When I joined CID, someone on my CID course was part of the team on Operation Challenge- my own force, West Mercia Police investigating the Telford rape gangs. This was not distant. This was not someone else's problem. This was happening on our doorstep. And yet I — along with 22,000 other ordinary people — had to crowdfund a private inquiry because the state refused to act. A former police officer. Paying into a crowdfund. Because nobody in power would look at what was done to these children.

@blogpreston Headline could have been more respectful 🥺

Kim had her breasts grabbed by the attacker before being punched repeatedly in the face. She bravely waived her right to anonymity to speak out. blogpreston.co.uk/2026/03/securi…

Preston City Council has confirmed a full review of security at the Cemetery is to take place after Kimberley was set upon.

@ThatsTVLancs Brilliant news for Lancashire families 🙏

"It's been a long time coming". Rainbow Hub - a specialist school for children with special educational needs - has officially opened on the outskirts of Mawdesley. Some of the region's best known faces were there to cut the ribbon, as Ben Winship reports.

@larrietiernan @VisitWhitby @themagpiecafe Try @Trencherswhitby next time 😋

@VisitWhitby Moody weather and dramatic light in a mid week break to Whitby. My Lovely Lady and I, are addicted. Many more visits. She particularly enjoyed a small bag of chips from @themagpiecafe take away . I snaffled some. Delicious chips, unbelievably nice.
