If you're battling with Mental health never feel you're on you're own. You're never alone.

Sometimes battling with mental health can be tough. Sometimes it's impossible to do the simplest of tasks because your mind will begin to play tricks on you. Your mind will begin to tell you what's the point as you're not worthy or good enough. Sometimes in most cases you have a tendency to push those dearest and closest to you away as deep down you feel they won't accept the real you. You tell yourself that you won't have any friends if they knew what was really going on inside your mind. 

Firstly let me tell you something you're one of the strongest individuals on the planet. I mean on a day to day basis you go through this struggle with your mind and your consciousness and still get out of bed in the morning, still get dressed, still go to work. You're a hero. 

if you haven't got round to telling your friends a quick reminder if they don't in anyway accept you for you suffering with mental health they aren't real friends. I say this because having mental health doesn't change you as a person. It doesn't define you. 

When I was in school I used to struggle. I didn't find it hard to read or write as such, but I would always find it difficult to process the information the same way someone else would. I would re-lay the same information over and over in my head. Processing every ounce of detail, then I'll do it a different way in my head and the words would become jumbled in my head and everything would become blurring and I would begin to panic. So growing up I just thought okay I have my own methods of working under pressure and if I get too worked up I have panic attacks. But It was only as I gotten older I began to realise it was dyslexia that I had that's why I found it difficult to process the information the same way as others. That's why I was different. The reason I brought that up was because having mental health makes you feel like you're a stranger and that you don't fit in. I always look at life like this if everyone was the same individual life would be really boring. You was put in this world to stand out. 

I don't want anyone to go through this world and ever feel as if they are alone. You're never alone. You can always talk to people regarding your situation as people can be remarkable people when you allow yourself to find out. Sometimes it can be difficult to speak to people about the situation and I completely understand that you can either talk with friends, family members or even people such as Samaritans as they're always they're always there willing to listen to anyone. 

Everyone has their own struggle and their journey. Please don't ever feel as if you are alone. You can do this. You're a stronger person than you would ever had imagine. Everyone has their own unique way of coping and handling mental health and of course everyone's story is different from others too. Please be kind to each other. Especially through this tough situation we are all forced in. 

I'll post a bunch of websites you can view for support and people you can talk too if friends and family isn't an option too.
