Story

Hi I’m Stacey 👋🏼

Have you ever felt so bad that you forgot how many people care about you?  After bacterial meningitis in 2015 I got left with so many invisible disabilities Fibro, ME, dyspraxia, chronic allergies etc. that ripped my soul out and I couldn’t cope. Through denial, other people’s words, the confusion of not being ‘back to normal’ and years of daily pain & chronic health I lost myself.  I knew I’d end up one way or the other at that point & something inside me told me to fight!

After seeking avenues of support I eventually dropped the stigma of feeling weak by asking for help and I called healthy minds and after a long wait I eventually had CBT therapy sessions with an absolutely amazing woman through ‘Mind’.  Something I didn’t know would help at all but that changed my way of thinking and my life.

I was a shell of a person barely existing and I am now proud of having therapy and taking that step and becoming the person I am today.  I may not be able to change my disabilities and have to manage them but I can change the way I look at them and knowing that support is there means so much.  Me, my family & friends will be forever grateful and humbled by the support I got! They helped me so I can help others.

I’ve always had really long hair and at times hidden behind it and I’m doing this head shave for another step in my healing journey and also to show it’s ok to be vulnerable and seek help instead of thinking you are alone and if I can make my target and raise money for the ‘mind’ charity I’ll be ecstatic knowing the amount of people that will receive that life changing support like I did.

Thanks so much for visiting & donating!🌱🧠

Lots of Love Stace 💋
