@james_xond Absolutely. At 16 I lost a friend to suicide due to him not coping with school pressures. Mental health is just as important as physical health. We must listen to our young people & our children and teach them how to live healthy lives. That includes MH self-care when necessary.

Would you allow your child to miss school for a day just to rest because they are mentally or emotionally tired?

9 hours to see a doctor, 30 hours on a corridor. Acutely confused, dysphagia, elevated WCC. Triaged by a nurse and initially offered oral paracetamol 🤷 Later required MRI, but not available at the weekend. Patient died aged 66! Hey @wesstreeting, much better under your watch!!

@petlibro @areyoflight Now he's just showing off that trim belly...

@petlibro @areyoflight This was Phineas, January 2026, day 1 of kitty boot camp, weighing 7.3kg eyeing his @petlibro Granary smart camera feeder with much suspicion...

Cat people, I NEED your help plz! My elderly cat has been drinking a lot more water than normal, clearing a bowl of water a day. She is otherwise healthy despite being 16, no medical conditions. Any ideas? Or straight to the vet? Thanks! 💖

@petlibro @areyoflight So much healthier!

@petlibro @areyoflight And here he is this evening, a gorgeous healthy boy (albeit a bit of fur missing following his 24hr bug & vet visit last week!) 1.9kg lighter and so much a happier catto 😍

@petlibro @areyoflight helpers (my care team), whom he has trained quite skillfully to open doors and give him his once a day pouch! He takes his rightful place upon the couch with much pride, now a very svelt and healthy cat, and that is something we very much put down to @petlibro - thankyou!

@petlibro @areyoflight ...boot camp! He wasn't sure at first. This boy was scared of his own shadow and had decided he was an indoor snow leopard... but 14 months later he's rediscovered his zest for life, decide he is infact an outdoor snowleopard, when it suits, and that he is master of the human...

...above water, so to speak... sometimesjust knowing that other people are thinking of me and wondering how im doing makes me feel seen and cared for ❤️ Hoping tomorrow brings you a little sunshine x

Hey @adamfare1996 just wanted to drop you a quick hello to let you know I'm sending you some *get as well as possible force* and that I have been missing your tweets. Absolutely correct for you to prioritise your health right now but I know when I'm struggling to keep my head...

@areyoflight @petlibro ... totally stopped drinking. Conversely, it also helped reassure us that he was back on the mend when we were able to see his intake go back up again as he began to regain strength during his recovery and began to have the strength to walk to his fountain for a drink!

@areyoflight Always always take a change in drinking habits as a big red flag for a need for an urgent trip to the vet. I have a @petlibro water fountain to measure my cat's water intake- when he got sick a couple of weeks ago it alerted us very sickly that something was very wrong as he'd...

...nest site viewing platform to see the birds in person. Sharing my love of wildlife seems to be a real way of building a strong bond with my care team and i love seeing their knowledge and confidence grow over time. Looking forward to another fun season ahead!

...ready for another exciting summer of Osprey Action. I love seeing how invested my care team become each year as they start off watching alongside me, and then often progress to watching of their own accord... to their delight when we go on a harbour boat trip or visit the...

Great news this morning that both CJ7 and 022 have returned to their @harbourbirds nest site, ready to start the 2026 breeding season. Here at the 'House Of Mouse Sanctuary, for lightly nibbled mice & gently sucked voles' we are already tuned in to the 24hr Youtube channel...

@MikScarlet ...else is secondary. It can be hard sometimes to accept that we have got to stop and listen to our bodies and let them be 'in control' but sometimes it is the fastest road back to getting back to full speed. Sending you all my available force for a speedy recovery ❤️

@MikScarlet I totally empathise & sympathise Mik- with Adrenal Insufficiency (my main cond) antibiotics in themselves can really ride roughshod over you. Even for a simple cut/insect bite. Be kind to yourself & maybe accept that your primary job right now is healing your body & everything...

Well thanks antibiotics. Defo helping with the infection but wrecking havoc with my body. Got a hospital appointment today too. Oh well, at least I'll look ill for once 🤣
