Talking with Simon
Hi my names Simon, Iβve been thinking about starting a blog for a bit now, and thought what better time to start than during mental health awareness week
If you were sat in a room with a real mix of people and said put your hand up if you or somebody you know has struggled or suffered with mental health, everyone would put their hand up!
1: Thereβs people (like myself) who would throw my hands up straight away! Yes Iβve had mental health issues and still have (havenβt we all)
2: Thereβs people who would maybe too embarrassed to admit theyβve struggled, men for instance not wanting to identify a weakness or to stand up and look the weaker man (which is complete rubbish)
3: And thereβs the people that would sit there saying they hadnβt, and they live a happy content life, great childhood and up bringing (which is great) but really deep down sure theyβve grieved or never really got over or dealt with something
But thatβs the thing with that banner of βmental healthβ isnβt it, it doesnβt change the person that you are if youβre a number 1 as above, its about owning who you are and what youβre comfortable in talking about I suppose, just because you are or have struggled, been in and out of hospital, having problems doesnβt make you less of a person, if anything it makes you stronger I believe
So thatβs what Iβm going to be talking about on my blog, all things mental health, wellbeing, peoples experience, life experience, looking after and being kind to yourself, and just about anything really! Yes, Iβve got too much to say for myself, but I donβt care
From personal experiences, from trying to take my own life due to not being able to deal with my PTSD, but from getting the care and treatment I needed, thatβs what brought me to where I am am today, and I can honestly say I know who I am now, and never been happier, and thatβs all from talking!
Letβs go on this journey together, please follow and share this page, thereβs lots more to come weekly
Thanks for reading
Simon
