This time last year I had to take a bit of time off as I experienced a severe episode of depression. Apart from feeling bad about missing out on family life and not feeling like I was there for my husband, my children and my friends for a time, I also felt as if I was letting my students down. I work for amazing charity as a Tutor supporting adults with additional needs to access creative opportunities. Suffolk Artlink supported me and gave me the time and support to recreate and get well again. The belief and value they placed in me during my time off helped me to recover and return to the job and the students that I love. I believe I am a stronger person for the experience and I am grateful every day for my mental wealth. We are all neurologically diverse and we should celebrate and support each other to be the best version of ourselves we can be not feel ashamed or labelled. I began running in July using the couch to 5k programme and the buzz I get from achieving each run energises and challenges me. I want to give something back to the Charity I work for because the programmes and opportunities we deliver enrich and enhance the lives of many individuals.
