Not many people know but for as long as I can remember I have always struggled with my mental health and my anxiety. I was always passed off as the “quiet kid” and I only had a “confidence issue”. 3 years ago I finally decided to speak out and get the help and therapy I needed to try and help me get through everyday life without having anxiety attacks and meltdowns. I am now medicated for my anxiety and take Citalopram each day to try and help me get through simple day to day tasks. I still have bad days where I am unable to function properly and get things done but I have plenty of people around me who are there to help and support me during these times. 

I'm taking on Mind's run 30 miles in April challenge. Now more than ever, people struggling from health problems need our support. in the UK, 1 in 4 of us will experience a mental health problem this year. Please support my 30 miles in April challenge by donating to my fundraising page. Your donation will help ensure that information and support is available for everyone - on Mind's website, the helplines they run and throughout their online community, Side by Side. Thank you
