The road to recovery ❤️

One question I often think about is:  ‘Why is there still so much stigma around mental health?’  I’m 18 and have suffered with mental health issues for a number of years and one thing that would be helpful is for more people to be more understanding and less to be judgemental.  This year has been a hard year for me, however the past few months have been some of the hardest. A lot of things can happen in someone’s personal life that other people don’t see, know about or understand. The last few months in particular have been a struggle, in which I’ve struggled both mentally and physically.  In June was when I first started counselling and I was very sceptical about this, I didn’t know what to expect and I didn’t think it would work. However, after 4 months, in October I finished counselling.

Just because someone is smiling, this does not mean they are happy. Many people who have a mental health illness smile to avoid people asking questions and sometimes people do not want others to know they are unhappy, me included. The aim of my blog is to raise awareness around mental health and the past few posts have been positive, however, the past few weeks have been an emotional roller-coaster.  This will be one of the most personal posts I have posted probably since my first blog post.  Leaving college... Since leaving college in June, I have slowly noticed a decline in my mental health again, may be this is because I have nothing to focus on anymore. At first I didn't really notice anything but as the weeks/months have gone by I have started to notice a lot more how much my mental health is declining. I have started to become very isolated, I don't do things with anyone, I would rather stay in my room and do nothing all day and the main reason for this is because...
