Mental illness is nothing to be ashamed about. It’s quite likely that one day you, one of your friends, colleagues or family members will experience a mental health problem. Yet mental illness is still surrounded by prejudice, ignorance and fear. 1 in 4 people will experience a mental health problem in any given year and one day, that may be you. Statistically that means you are likely to know someone who has been affected. You might think you don’t know anyone with a mental illness. In fact, once you start talking, you might find out that more people than you think have experience of the issues. Often the fact that it’s difficult to talk about mental health problems can be one of the hardest parts of having a mental illness. It can lead to the loss of friendships, feeling isolated, not seeking help and slower recovery.
The aim of my blog is to raise awareness about mental health and share my story about my battle with Anorexia, Depression, Anxiety and Endometriosis.
