It’s Friday. A bittersweet day tbh.

Having the children and a weekend to look forward too. But the weekend is too short.

Please a give a mum with children with autism a big hug 🫂 is not always easy for them sending love ❤️ to everyone

Thank you for such a clear and honest reflection of 2025 – it really captures both the emotional weight and the collective power of Changing Realities. As someone who has newly joined, it’s been really encouraging to look back at everything achieved in 2025, and I’m hopeful about contributing and learning together in the year ahead.

Had a difficult week. Just need to keep going and focus.

Good morning

It is a good morning. Have a blessed weekend and I hope everything will be okay.

Today, I am grateful for the little things—the calm morning, the people who make me smile, and the moments where I felt peace. I want to carry this sense of gratitude into tomorrow.”

Hey,

It’s a new day and a new month. I’m up thankful and grateful. As part of my resolution, I’m choosing me. I come first. It feels as if all work does is take and take from me. I’m really tired but I’m thankful I have a job. So this is me ensuring I continue completing my work to the highest standard, pushing back and holding my boundaries. Saying No politely.

Hello everyone, this week is very cold and rainy in Leeds . I hope everyone is doing well

Feeling positive and a bit overwhelmed at the beginning of 2026. I am trying to juggle part time work in a mental health charity with being a single parent of 2 kids and finishing my PhD. There just isn’t enough of me or enough money to go round so it’s a constant juggle but I am happy with where I am compared to last year.

Hi

Nice weather 🫠took my baby out for a walk it was nice she enjoyed

I'm feeling optimistic about this year. 2025 was possibly my worst for health and stress. As my health deteriorated, I got more stressed about it. As I got more stressed, my health deteriorated. I couldn't see a way out, to move back towards health and away from poverty.

What has changed? I've been learning a lot more about health and the nervous system. This isn't particularly mainstream, unfortunately, so I never heard about this from my GP or other doctors. I did get pointed in the right direction by an occupational therapist, though. And (after an eight-month wait) I've also started with an NHS therapist.

I wish the government and NHS would realise how stressful poverty can be, and how stress makes everything worse. I hope others can find ways to reduce any stress relating to their health or their financial situation. Society can only benefit from it.

Good evening

Have a blessed evening 🥰
