Not As Scary As You Think
Mental Health, diagnosis, counselling and
support. These are all terms widely used in
this day and age. They’re in all our lexicons,
and strides have been made to make these
terms more acceptable. However, for some of
us, there can still be an element of shame or
discomfort when faced with the thought that
we might be experiencing mental ill-health.
Now, we know this is a challenging topic to
discuss and read about. Equally, detailing my
battles with mental health has been
confronting – but also cathartic. So, even
though some of these themes may seem
bleak, I promise there’s an air of optimism,
positivity, and silver lining (at least,
somewhere within my wording).
