Story

Over the last year, I really struggled with my mental health, nothing can prepare you for when your mind turns on you, suddenly there was no safe space and all seemed lost to the darkness of depression.

I had to fight really hard to find out who I am, to find enjoyment in life and to heal.

There were times when I almost gave up, times when I had convinced myself that I had given up and I count myself lucky to have some great friends to help me out, one friend in particular who really helped me to challenge my depressive thinking, because when your mind is relentlessly beating you up there can seem like no escape. The tentacles of depression had wrapped itself around me so hard that I had to constantly pull myself out of the darkness and back into the light, it was only when I had challenged my thinking and how to accept and deal with emotions that things started to get better.

I’ve now challenged myself to a 24hr coaching Marathon to raise awareness and funds for Minduk
