Supporting Mental Health

January 2, 2017

I have suffered with mental health issues since I was 18, diagnosed with depression, anxiety and BPD, it has taken me a while to overcome my problems and control them. I didn’t speak up about it enough and when I did, unfortunately at the time I had a couple of friends that were not supportive and were in fact ignorant and unkind about my problems.

 

Thankfully now I am in a much better place and I am surrounded by positive people who have at some point also suffered similar issues. I believe the stigma around mental health is slowly being broken but we still have a long way to go.

 

1 in 4 people experience a mental health illness each year but there still isn’t enough awareness or funding for mental health especially for young people. The infographic below is from MQ Mental Health Charity highlights some of the concerns surrounding mental health, in particular, the funding restrictions that are affecting services. Young people today aren’t receiving the support they need but there is so much you can do to help by heading over to the ‘get involved’ section of the MQ Mental Health Charity website. MQ Mental Health, leading the way in mental health research to ensure that everyone receives the treatment they need.

Sacred bath time for some self care me time ✨ I Sacred bath time for some self care me time ✨ I can easily spend a good hour in the tub once I've done a self care ritual or dig deep into a book. I've recently been using the eucalyptus bath salts from the @thenaturalspacosmetics which smell incredible! For a while now I've been using vegan and sustainable products where I can in order to be a little more eco friendly. These little pouches are made from recycled materials and are 100% biodegradable! They are also all natural and fully vegan. Just to prove that you don't need to compromise on your beauty regimes anymore by using sustainable and vegan items. Let's take care of our planet 👍🏼 #gifted @thesocialcat__

Not an ideal scenario but like I was reminded yesterday there are definitely worse situations to be in. Still grateful I got to stuff my face and lucky to have my family ❤️ hope you all had a wonderful Christmas🎄
