If you have made this far on this page, then I would like to take a minute of your time just tell you a little about my personal experience with a mental health disorder.

Growing up, I was a very confident kid, used to go out all the time with friends i.e. go to the park and play football, mess about on skateboards and bikes.

But as I got a little older I started spending more time indoors, isolating from friends even taking time off work, calling in sick and just staying in bed all day, physically I was fine but I just wanted to stay away from everyone. Didn't even tell my mum how I was feeling most of the time. Some days you just try and shrug it off and let it build up.

Its kind of hard to explain to people what it felt like, but how I would explain to people now is that you can be really close to friends and family and yet be so far away from them at the same time. But as I got a little older 20-21 I started to socialise more with friends, go on days out, play video games and start talking to people about how I felt and I met my wonderful fiancé Zoey and she has been by my side ever since.

I'm now healthy physically and mentally and at my happiest.

So if anyone is out there suffering in silence, please reach out, I know how hard it can be!

Thank you for your time, stay safe and stay positive! <3.
