WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY ♡♡♡♡♡
So many of us struggle with or have struggled with our mental health.
Let's keep talking about it.
But also, let's remind ourselves that there are people that find it very difficult to speak out. That there are people in need of help that won't respond to words typed stating to "Speak Out" & "Break The Silence"
How about we remember those friends, family members & collegues you know that would benefit from a physical visit, a chat on the telephone, a shared meal, a video call & why not YOU be the one to Break the Silence for that person in need. ♡♡♡♡♡ I have battled Cycling Anxiety & Depression since my teens. I was Diagnosed with Bipolar Type 2 Affective Disorder in my Mid 20's I suffer depressive episodes more than mania, my mania presents itself in very short bursts & is so short lived.I can only describe it as "Euphoria" It is always a fight as I know it won't last long & I will be back in anxiety & low mood again, wondering how the hell I am going to get through the days.
I have experienced
Emotional abuse, Sexual abuse, Domestic Violence, Psychological Abuse & Narsasistic Behaviour.
I am an empathetic person & feel everyone else's emotions & take them on as my own.
I seeked help & that is when I was diagnosed with Bipolar 2 relating to constant periods of trauma.
Trauma is the biggest issue in regards to my mental health. But I am happy to say, with a lot of hard work I am finally in a place were I can control & ease this for myself.
It has taken many years & I still have days were I lose control, but, I am proud of my progress & growth as a person. I am finally happy with who I am inside myself.
I refuse to be ashamed & neither should you.
Battling Muscular Dystrophy/Heart Arrthymnia/Oesephegus Immotility/Anxiety/Depression/Bipolar/Respiratory/Trauma & the storm that comes with that is a daily battle in itself.
But I am here speaking out about all of this & I know I am not the only one to feel this way & experience these problems in life & to let you know.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER
MENTAL HEALTH IS NOT A SIGN OF WEAKNESS.
IT IS A RESULT OF HAVING TO BE STRONG FOR FAR TOO LONG
