Help me make it meaningful
Mental health has played a big part in my life, thinking that it was weak to speak or never talk about what was going on and hiding behind closed doors with a fake smile to make everyone think that I was okay. February this year on the 22/02/2021 it marked two years for me when I was at my lowest and didn’t speak or open up to anyone, and thought it was the best option to leave. That caused me to be on life support for a few days and the doctors having no hope in me waking up. To this day it made me realise, it might be the best thing for you to do to take the pain away but it is only the beginning for everyone else around you suffering and in pain. Don’t ever be afraid to speak or open up, someone is always there to listen. I have a symbol to represent my hardships and pain I went through. That’s why I’m wanting to talk about this as I’m not afraid and ready to talk about my story and as my tattoo says “your story is not over yet”. So just remember I’m always here to listen and help and don’t forget it’s okay not to be okay. We all struggle and don’t be ashamed about it. We’re all human and have feelings.
I thought it would be a good idea to raise some money to help for the research and support problems Black Dog are doing.
Mental illness doesn’t discriminate – it affects 1 in 5 Australians every year with symptoms like depression and anxiety. The impact can be devastating, not only for those living with it, but for those around them.
That’s why I’m raising funds for the Black Dog Institute, to support crucial mental health research and support services that help Australians impacted by mental illness and suicide.
Help me create a meaningful moment for mental health, all for a great cause.
Please donate. Thank you.
