This year has been pretty rough for me mentally so far to the point last week someone close encouraged me to go and seek help again as it’s been apparent to some people close to me that I’m a bit all over the place. If it wasn’t for speaking to a few individuals the last couple of months I wouldn’t have realised how serious my mental health had become as I’d just kept putting everything down to my anxiety and depression as the thought of telling someone how I really did feel scared me. Last week I posted on my Instagram that I’d be taking some time out. That was because I’d been diagnosed with bipolar and wasn’t quite sure how to deal with that. It’s a relief to know that I’m not going mad and there’s actually help out there for me but also at the same time very daunting. I’ll still be taking some time for myself and not posting as frequently as I’m still coming to terms with it all and my new medication. Sometimes it’s hard to see past the darkness but it’s nice to know we’re not fighting the battle in our heads alone 🖤
