Mental illness has affected me directly and indirectly....I have lost some incredible people to suicide and I had no idea anything was even wrong they had their mask stuck on nice and tight...I couldn't comprehend why someone would take their life....I was confused....upset....angry.....blamed myself....BUT in 2014 that all changed for me..I was doing well in my study....had a job....tons of friends and an incredible family but something changed I lost interest in things I absolutely loved....slept so much and was still tired...I would go on benders until eventually, I shut myself off from the world.  

I felt like my world was falling apart and I was so full of self-hate and confused as to why I felt the way I did I had "no reason to feel this way" but that's the thing there is no profile for mental illness It can affect anyone and I mean ANYONE....after countless diagnoses from various Psychiatrists and countless medication changes and therapist changes I can HONESTLY say I AM NOT ashamed of my mental illnesses and want to go my part to break down the stigma and normalise the conversation around Mental illness! Together we can save lives....
