Hello, my name is Peter Alick and I have struggled with mental health issues for most of my adult life. Depression, anxiety, panic attacks, low self esteem and a lack of confidence. For more than a decade I found myself in situations where I was the butt of jokes, I was laughed at, ridiculed. You could even say bullied at times. I found things very difficult.

Today, with the help of MIND Aberystwyth, I am living independently in my own flat in this wonderful town. This is the first time where Ive actually felt settled in my entire life, living on my own terms in my own home. Having my own space to just be me. Where I feel free to express myself creatively and to be true to me. To honour my souls purpose. I'm extremely grateful for everything that I have in my life and Im thankful for the life that I have.

My story is just one of many in which MIND Aberystwyth has played a pivotal role in improving the lives of those people who have found the courage to reach out for help. The wonderful people at MIND Aberystwyth care, they listen and they will go above and beyond to help a person who needs help and I am so very grateful for the support they have and continue to show me. Thank you so much, youre truly appreciated.

If you have read this far then I appreciate your time. Thank you.

Kind regards.
Peter Alick.
