Mental Health Journal: Week 21

Journal

Got Married   1st May. It was an incredible day. 

I had some time off after the wedding and as always with me and a bit of time off, it actually gave me the opportunity to recenter and come up with ideas as to how I can do more for the community. So there’s quite a few things I’ve wanted to do off the back of some of the ideas that I’ve had, so I put the podcasts and interviews on hold for a bit. But I’m just about ready to get started again and so I thought I would tell you about those today. 

HDDD are back!

HDDD’s are back, they are going to be weekly, but are also going to be much shorter – I don’t want the Hump Day episodes to disrupt your listening of the other shows, but I think it’s going to be important for me to share my own progress and have a means of providing you with updates – without making guests on the main CGHD streams to be waiting around whilst I read a load of stuff out. 

Mental Health Careers

I’ve done some soul searching over the last few months, and I’ve come to the conclusion that my calling is definitely mental health. When I’m doing mental health stuff whether through CGHD or whatever, I feel like I’m contributing something with my life. So I’ve decided that I’m going to be on a transition from my current career in the construction industry to have more involvement with mental health. 

As I do manage to get into some form of study work I’ll also use the HDDD podcasts to keep you updated of how I’m getting on. How I’m coping with the transition, and the workload. How that’s effecting me mentally, what I’m learning etc. Hopefully this might inspire others who are thinking of also making a change who knows. 

The CGHD Discord Server

The Chatty Geek, Hidden Dragon Discord Server is now up and running. You can find a link for that on the website, and I’ll be dropping in most days to catch up with you all and check in, see how you’re all doing etc – please join and feel free to use that. 

On the Discord server, there is also a hidden section for our Patreons. So in an effort to make sure that I remain financially okay, for a bit of help I’ve started a Patreon site. This site will be going live over the weekend and there’ll be an announcement when that does go live. 

Patreon

The patreon site is there to give you the opportunity if you want to show you support for the podcast and other content to do that. It’s set in a similar theme to the rest of our content, very light hearted and fun, but with a serious message. So there are three tier options if you want to support us on Patreon, and they are priced at £3, £6 and £12 per month. And these memberships are called the Chatty Chickens, the Welcome Warriors, and the Friendly Dragons respectively.
