Story

Mental health is often a taboo subject and one that people will often feel they face alone. Mental health comes in all variations, but one thing that remains a constant with all Mental health is the struggle that each individual goes through, and ones journey is neither more or less important to another. Having the support from others can make a huge difference, and quite often than not life changing. Therefore I will be walking three marathons over six days to raise money for Mental Health Concern, a partner of Insight Healthcare. For months I had slowly become a shell of who I am as a person and dark days consumed a huge part of my everyday normality, In April 2019 I had reached a peak with anxiety and depression, one that I felt I could not overcome, even with the huge amount of support and love from all my family, friends and colleagues, every day just seemed bleak and not worth continuing. I knew this was not right for me and those around me were worried for me, I was encouraged to speak to my G.P. about how I had been feeling. My first appointment with the G.P. was hard, I thought I was wasting their time and that other people have more important health issues than little old me. After offloading to the G.P. about how, although I knew I had a great amount of support, I felt like I could not open up as I was afraid of burdening those close to me with how I was feeling and the thoughts I had, the G.P. suggested referring to Insight healthcare to see what support I could recieve. At first I was sceptical, but I went through with the referral and to this day I am so happy I did. My first few sessions were hard and emotionally draining, but week by week I was given guidance on how to manage my thoughts, look at ways to overcome what had been troubling me and start to make steps to a more positive outlook. I began walking more and more (something I find helps me clear my mind a lot), and keeping busy pottering with various things. Over a year and a half later I can honestly say that just being able to talk through how I was feeling and recieving professional advice and support throughout the worst days as well as the continued love and support from my amazing family & friends I have bounced back to the daft, all singing, dancing girl I was.
