Coming to terms with Eating orders

Hi everyone

following on from my post about mental health, I want to talk about an issue called an eating disorder. 
this can happen for many reasons. 

a lot of people in this country and around the world have problems with eating and drinking. 
from my own background, I have had problems eating when I've had bad news and its the worst feeling in the entire universe. 

Throughout the coaching I've received from my mental health coach, I have been given targets to try and achieve every day of the week to try and help to motivate me to eat at least 1 meal a day. 

I'll share some of my story but it does come as a trigger warning
when I was very young, I lost someone very special to me and someone incredibly close to me which broke me and my life was changed forever, I couldn't eat anything as I felt sick and I didn't feel myself for at least a whole month because of how sad and how upset I was. 
The year after I was diagnosed with autism and again that broke me and sometimes that doesn't make me feel good either. 
Being autistic and struggling with eating can sometimes make my life an absolute misery because 9 times out of 10 I get out of bed and think okay I want something to eat but then when I go downstairs, I think to myself whats the actual point of eating. 

For any of my friends, i recommend the better together mental health support group on Facebook and the safe space on discord  because these have the best coaching available anywhere and completely free of charge! (which is amazing) 
The better together group manager taught me this really amazing breathing technique called in for 5 out for 5 and it helps with eating weather i'm unhappy and just want to end up crying. The group manager taught me to take a step back and just do the technique until i'm calm enough to do that activity weather its making a meal or weather its just making a sandwich. 

If you join the better together support group, do message the group manager as she is lovely and she can help with ED's! if you join the sweet shop support group, it is all about sweets and food and such an incredible community! They will deffinatley help with eating problems and ED's as they have both helped me amazingly and I couldn't be more thankful for everything they have done for me!

Should you be struggling with ED's or eating problems and you find it hard, do speak up about it, have a 1-1 with someone in the support groups so you can get the amazing support that I have especially to this day!

Please don't hesitate to contact me or the support groups mentioned if you would like a 1-1 chat about the situation I have been talking about 

Many thanks 
Jake

Dealing with the after effects of a funeral and preparing for an interview

 Hi everyone, its been a while since I last posted,  I thought I would come on and discuss about the after affects of going to a funeral as im going through that at the current time. So I attended a funeral the 8th February for a lady who went to my church, she was a lovely friend of mine and well loved throughout.  From my personal experience, I came out the funeral and I found myself getting a little bit emotional and it was a feeling I've never felt before, grieving the loss of a close friend.  It was hard coming out of a lovely service and It was a little bit overwhelming, it was lovely making conversation with the family of the person who had passed. I appreciate that it can be hard for people to make conversation straight after a funeral service, especially at a crematorium.   I think for me, the part that hits me the most is when the funeral director put the flowers down outside after the service had finished  But now the after effects come......

Social media jobs and living with trolls

Hi everyone,  As a lot of you might know from my socials, a while back, I was promoted to Patron of Greavsey's Tuck Shop run by a lovely couple.  Being a patron is very high demanding as it involves being very hands on with every customer and spreading as much positivity as possible and interacting with everyone on the lives, making sure that the chat on the lives is super positive energy and filled with happiness and answering customer enquiries so that we deliver a 5 star service to everyone  Now whilst this is all good for our sweet shop lives, there is a darker side to it.  A lot of you who have been on the lives will know, there have been a huge amount of trolls and hate comments that have been posted about the managers which I'm not happy with and I know that the managers aren't.  As the Patron, I would like to address the situation.  If you are on social media and you are under 18 and commenting nasty things just so you feel better because you enjoy ...
