Living with a Mental Health issue can be devastating for both the sufferer and those close to them. This website is a collection on real life stories from those who suffer from Mental Health issues and how their disability has affected them and the people around them. This is a platform for raising awareness and understanding surrounding Mental Health in the hopes that society can become more accepting and tolerant of those who suffer.

You are not alone in your struggles!

Behaviour

One of the biggest things I noticed after having episodes is that many people treat you differently or stop speaking to you all together, The hardest thing for me has been to re-build my life after behaving in a way which pushes people you love away.

Experience

Unless you gave become Mentally ill, you can never truly understand how devastating it can be to your psyche to know that you did actually “do all those things” and that it was you and not someone else.

Understanding

Society has come along way in it’s understanding of Mental Health but there is still a long way to go until being mentally ill does not have the stigma it currently does.

Topics

If you or someone you know has become Mentally Ill and have gained treatment they still have to deal with what comes afterward. Part of the process of recovery is coming to accept how different the world is, because you have changed. In the UK there is little in the way of support groups, you get your medication but that’s about it.
