The purrleasures of staying at home 💕
The best part about social distancing is that, not only do you help save lives, but you get to spend time reconnecting with the people and things that you love.
My furry friend here is sending you all positive vibes. 💖
Take care and stay healthy 😘

What are you watching?
My top tip to help your mental health today is to remember that the news is incentivised to keep you watching. Whilst it is important to get information about the situation, being over-exposed to large amounts of the same information can be very taxing.

As our firefighters continue the heroic job of containing bushfires, many people may be affected by smoke.
Signs of smoke irritation include itchy eyes, sore throat, runny nose and coughing. Those with pre-existing medical conditions such as asthma may have worsened symptoms of wheezing, chest tightness and difficulty breathing. If this is you it is very important to continue your prescribed medication and seek medical help.
To reduce your exposure, stay indoors and close the windows and doors. If you are using an air conditioner switch it to recycle or recirculate to reduce the smoke indoors.
If you or anyone around you is concerned by their symptoms please pop by and see me in clinic

You’re not alone 💖
One of the biggest benefits of social media is awareness.
Domestic Violence has played a large role in the news over the past week and as a result more victims have been coming forward to seek help from this.
Domestic violence is gender neutral and isn’t always about physical abuse but it also includes:
- sexual abuse where you’re forced to engage in unwanted sexual activity
- Verbal abuse including name calling
- Emotional abuse with demeaning comments or threats - Financial abuse where access to money could be limited
- Spiritual or cultural abuse so you’re not allowed to practice your beliefs
- Stalking by means of being followed or being constantly watched.
Most victims feel trapped and stuck but it’s important to know that there’s a lot of help out there.
If you or a loved one are affected please come by and see me in clinic for further help and advice.
Take care and stay healthy x
Dr Nora 😘
