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).
