MENTAL HEALTH

My story

Although I use this platform for sharing all things about health and fitness. Health isn’t just physical it’s also mental. 

Trigger warning I will be discussing PTSD, Depression and Anxiety.

Although this is extremely hard to talk about, I shouldn’t be ashamed to talk about it.

I want to use my platform and raise awareness and know I can do good by sharing my thoughts, feelings and positivity that could possibly help save someone. 

I’ve recently been diagnosed with PTSD, Depression and Anxiety. This is something I’ve struggled with for years, and I finally plucked up the courage to speak out.

​

I was terrified.

​

I hate speaking on the phone,

I hate speaking to new people,

I hate new things,

I hate change.

When I told Jay (my boyfriend) that someone had been back in touch with me but I’d let it go to a missed call the first time but I plucked up the courage to answer the second time they rang but he didn’t believe that I answered that second time so he told me the screenshot the call to see how long I’d been on the call for haha, and if that doesn’t tell you how terrified I was then I don’t know what will. 

It got to the point where my diagnosis was affecting everything, my job, my friendships, my relationship and my hobbie which is the gym.🥺 

I’ve been struggling in silence for so long and I thought enough is enough.

I’m so glad I did… it’s like a massive weight has been lifted off my shoulders, I’m so so proud of myself for doing it. I never thought I would. 

I am not healed and nor will I be for a very long time but this is a step in the right direction. 

I hope that anyone that is reading this finds the courage to at least speak out, even if it’s to me, a loved one, a friend or even writing your thoughts and feelings down 

I wish you nothing but positivity, love and happiness.

I’ve attached some awareness and positivity and help to this website. 

​

It's not a lot of information but I felt it was much more important to have a blog and I will keep updating this blog as my treatment goes long. So feel free to follow me on this healing journey. 

I encourage you all to speak out. I love you all so much and I would never want any of you to suffer in silence💖
