The stigma that still surrounds mental health really surprises me. Since my son was born almost two years ago I have suffered enormous, oftentimes debilitating anxiety. Most of my friends and family know this and when I've told them, it gives them the opportunity to say they too struggle with some area of mental health. Maybe because we all take on too much - work, family, social life, even just keeping your house in a reasonable order and putting food on the table every night! Life can be hectic and it all has a huge impact on our mental health. If you don't really have much time for self-care, real, consistent and rejuvenating time for yourself to do whatever it is that gives you peace (one of my greatest struggles with motherhood), we must share how we feel we others. Anxiety and depression are the loneliest places to be. As much as I might try; I can't escape my own mind, but it's far worse keeping it all to myself. We never know what someone is going through on the inside, what battles they may be trying to cope with. In sharing my own struggles with anxiety, I relieve parts of it, even add humour to parts of it, but most importantly, it opens a channel for the other person to relate, and maybe relieves something in them too. #worldmentalhealthday #itsokaynottobeokay #share #sharehowyoufeel #talk #mentalhealth #talkaboutit #anxiety #ppd #staystrong #havefaith
