Finding faith in myself can be a struggle. But I just decided to give school another try. I know the pain of mental illness, and I want to help others.
I always worked despite my mental health conditions, but a breakdown has resulted in my leaving the workplace. I’m battling guilt and focusing on recovery.
If we all talk about mental health, it normalises it, which helps with acceptance for those suffering & too scared to seek help, which also mean less stigma
Anxiety doesn’t show on the outside. The doctor noted my ‘full face of makeup’. But inside, I have been extremely poorly. And others are suffering quietly.
So you haven’t managed to get dressed today – is your baby fed and healthy, have you had that apple and a cup of tea? Then great, you’re doing amazing!
