It is so lovely to see my Facebook and Instagram newsfeed filled with so much awareness for World Mental Health Day. It is people like you who are breaking down the barriers of the stigma of mental health. It is people like you that are making a difference! It is people like you who are enabling society to talk about it. There might not be much you can do for mental health but talking about it is key. That in itself is massive.
Value those around you. Anyone can suffer from poor mental health and it is motivating to feel needed, loved and wanted. That’s what we need. Intervention and support is absolutely vital in preventing suicide and poor mental health and if you can be the difference to someone, please do it if you feel able to.
I am open and honest about my mental health and my journey to recovery. I’m proud to say that today is 6 months since I last hurt myself and I can’t believe how far I’ve come.
Every day is #WorldMentalHealthDay for me and my fellow sufferers. What amazes me is they keep fighting like the soldiers they are…and so do I 💖
