My Mental health Update

Hey everyone 

i'm putting this out there, fully aware that not everyone might vibe with it, but you know what? Who cares? I want to express a heartfelt thank you to those who've been by my side, supporting me through the ups and downs of my mental health journey.

I'm in a good place—I want to emphasize that I'm not in a dark space or having suicidal thoughts. However, my anxiety has been acting up, and I find myself grappling with a lot on my mind. It's a mix of good and not-so-great things, and for those who care, these are the thoughts I'd share with you.

I recently took on the challenge of applying for the NDIS, and let me tell you, it's been a tough process. The wait to hear back within the next 28 days adds another layer of uncertainty. On the positive side, incorporating gym sessions with my physiotherapist has been a game-changer for my mental well-being. I'm also lucky to have a fantastic psychologist I see every fortnight, and their support means the world to me.

Life is a rollercoaster of mixed emotions, and with the festive season around the corner, it adds an extra layer of complexity. To cope, I might throw myself into work a bit more to keep my mind occupied.

Big shoutout to those customers who brighten my day, asking how I'm doing. Special thanks to cousins Tara and Jackie, who always check in on me. I'm grateful for friends like Brooke, Milkayla, Jaxon, Brandon, and Dominic from my hometown in Tassie—they're the constants in my life. And Mandy, our weekly coffee sessions are a lifeline that carries me through to the weekend.

I cherish the company of unnamed but cherished workmates, and I always look forward to our time together. Last but not least, immense gratitude to my healthcare professionals—Dr. Julie Hall, Eimear O'Brian, George Campbell, Isaiah Snell, and Amelia Moore. Your expertise and care are making a significant impact.

While I have an incredible support system, some days are tougher than others. Please, don't hesitate to shoot me a message if you want to check in. Your time means the world to me.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. Appreciate you all.

Luke

Title: Unboxing Happiness: The Arrival of Kaldae's Skincare Kit

Image
Introduction: Today, on this leap day of 29th February 2024, I was greeted by the morning sun and an unexpected surprise that made my day extra special. As I opened my eyes, excitement bubbled within me – there was a parcel waiting for me, and I knew it held the key to a whole new skincare experience. Body: On Monday, the 26th of February 2024, I found myself eagerly counting down the hours until 5 pm. Why? Because it was the moment when Kat Clark, whom I avidly follow on TikTok along with her delightful family – Deja, Leticia, and her husband Johnathan – launched their much-anticipated skincare business, Kaldae. The anticipation was tangible, and within an astonishing four minutes, the entire stock was sold out. Being one of the fortunate few who managed to secure the Kaldae skincare kit, my excitement only grew as I waited for my parcel to arrive. Today, that wait came to an end. As I eagerly tore open the packaging, I couldn't help but admire the thoughtful details. The presenta...

The Project: An Extraordinary Nigh

Image
We were on holiday in Melbourne from Sunday to Wednesday, and Monday night was already a highlight because we attended  The Project . The experience was so awesome that we decided to get tickets for Tuesday night as well. This time, we invited our cousin Kasma to come along, and what an extraordinary night it turned out to be! The hosts for the night were Sarah Harris, Waleed Aly, Sam Thornton, and Kate Lambrook. Plus, they had a special guest appearance from none other than J Balvin. The energy in the studio was incredible, and I loved how interactive the experience was. During the ad breaks, the hosts took the time to chat with the audience, asking questions and making us feel like part of the show. That level of connection felt next level. After the show, things got even better. The hosts came over to talk with the audience for a good 10 minutes, which was such a thoughtful touch. Kate Lambrook even said, "Oh, let's get a photo together!" and she took a group photo wit...

A Personal Encounter: Navigating Wellness at Maxwell And Moore Psychology's New Coorparoo Location

Image
In the ever-evolving landscape of mental health care, the decision to prioritize face-to-face interaction over telehealth can add a meaningful layer to one's therapeutic journey. Today, I had the opportunity to experience just that at Maxwell And Moore Psychology's new location in Coorparoo, 82 Leicester Street, where I met with the insightful Amelia Moore for a one-on-one session. Upon entering the building, a wave of freshness engulfed me, signaling the recent move and creating an atmosphere of new beginnings. The reception area, though temporarily unattended, was accompanied by a sign encouraging clients to make themselves comfortable. Helpfully, it directed me to the T-bar, inviting me to indulge in a cup of tea while waiting for my clinician. As the soothing melodies of calming music played in the background, I couldn't help but appreciate the attention to detail that Maxwell And Moore Psychology had put into crafting an environment conducive to relaxation. The decisio...
