About me

Hi,

My name is Courtney, I'm 21, I struggle with my mental health, I have done for a number of years now and it was in 2018 I was diagnosed with Anxiety and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).


In 2021, I started struggling with my physical health and in November was given an Epilepsy diagnosis. 
Living in a society where disabilities have so much stigma attached to them, whether that be mental, physical or both, makes life even harder for those with disabilities.


Both when I wad diagnosed with my mental health illnesses and then when I was diagnosed with Epilepsy, it was a huge thing to take in. It's easier now as there is so much information available for people, however, that doesn't make it easier for the person who has the diagnosis. 
There is a huge increase in mental health illnesses, but there is still such a huge lack of awareness.


My primary reason for starting this blog was to document my mental health journey and let people know they're not alone. However, since my Epilepsy diagnosis I also want to raise more awareness on this illness, as well as the impact this has on mental health. 


This blog is an insight into my life...
Courtney x
