Story

Thank you for visiting my JustGiving page, I hope you find the time to read why I am doing this and donate just a small amount of money which will go to 'Mind', a mental health organisation. 

At the end of 2017, and beginning of 2018 I had hit rock bottom with my depression and anxiety. I had already been to see 2 psychologists throughout the year of 2017 however a combination of not being ready and not getting on with the second, I just got worse. I found it difficult to leave the house, to socialise, and lied a lot to get out of doing things that I would usually love. I began 2018 in Australia, surrounded by loving family but felt more alone and empty than ever before. It was time for me to try again. 

After going to the doctors, starting on a daily dose of antidepressants and seeing a psychiatrist, I started on my journey back to finding myself again. It wasn't easy, it definitely didn't happen overnight but finally at the end of 2018, after finding what I truly wanted to do with my life and working a lot on myself I have completely come off my antidepressants and am feeling myself again. I am not cured and I never will be but I have found a way to function like myself again. 

So many people deal with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, PTSD (the list goes on) and their ENTIRE lives are affected, ruined and sometimes, all too often, are ended because of it. So I am doing this to help support those who are struggling every day and celebrate the resilience of all of us who carry on anyway. 

I am trying to raise £500 so please help me and donate, any amount is very much appreciated.
