Story

on the 22/08/2021 Next year i will be facing one of my biggest fears and recording the process in hope to raise money for MIND by jumping out of a plane! In order to do this i need go raise 500 pounds for this amazing charity!! So please help and give what you can!

why?

A year ago i was in a dark place, one in which was scary and clowded my judgement. I felt hopeless, undetermined, worthless and that life wasnt for me. I became suicidal and wanted to overdose. Luckily my cousin who was worried about me contacted my parents and i was forced to the doctors just in time (which i am now grateful for). The next couple months were hard and difficult for not only myself but for my family and friends Who had to sit by and watch my break downs, my refusals to get better and my cried for help, sticking with me through home appointments, hospital appointments, mood swings and bad days. Now a year later i am more confident and happy, been discharged from the crisis team and from therapy, i understand my mental health much better and so do my family and friends. Im still fighting and some days are better than others but i want to be alive and present.

I wouldnt be here if it wasnt for the amazing work MIND, hispitals and doctors do when it comes to mental health. They worked toredkess with me, listening and understanding, putting in measures for me in which i felt comfortable with and even stayed calm with me when i broke down. They was always there whenever and whatever time i needed them From therapy sessions, phone calls and house visits. I am so thankful for their work and want to help as much as i can!

I was lucky enough to be able to fight, to survive but not all adults and young adults get that opportunity and still suffer in silence or with no help both men and women. Suicide shouldnt be an option but for those who suffer with poor mental health may feel its their only escape, only choice and that needs to change. So please please help me raise money for this amazing charity! Donate what you can or just share Because all the help counts! Thank you
