When someone around you is struggling, your natural instinct is to help however you can: A friend sprains their wrist, you carry their coffee; your partner has a cold, you make hot lemon drinks; your colleague has a heavy workload, you do some photocopying for them.
In early 2013 my mental health took a turn for the worse, I started to write a blog as a way to get my feelings out into the open, and so I could try and make some kind of sense of what I was going through. What I didn’t realise, was just how many people would read it and share in my journey through the confusing emotions, ups and downs of having mental ill health.
