Hi I'm Gareth

I have struggled with depression and anxiety for along time, a lot longer than I thought, and Like everybody , life does throw hard times at you, sometimes it can be a multitude of things all at once, or over a few months and things start getting on top of you and the spiral starts.

I decided to do this walk , Keswick to Wigan for my mental health. I used the silver cloud program through Think Wellbeing Wigan. Silver cloud gives you multiple resources, and tools to use as part of your program. This hike was part of my activity planner, where you plan an activity that you enjoy and your goal is to do that activity. My activity of choice was walking, which turned in to hiking and wild camping. Doing these help give a sense of achievement and happiness. silver cloud program is part of the NHS so i will be rasing funds for #ANDYSMANCLUB as I would like to help raise awareness for mentalhealth and along with the message that there is support out there, and talking does help. Which I found hard to do at first.
