Hey Readers! how's it going?




So today October the 10th is world mental health day and I though I would take the time to help raise awareness of it and try to do my part in tackling the stigma of mental health.

I expect we all know someone who suffers from a mental illness they come in many forms and don't always have physical signs that can be seen. Which makes it difficult for some people to see the mental illness or think someone is simply attention seeking, when in fact they have no control over it and can be a daily battle to do the simplest of tasks. Mental illness can also lead to physical health.

I think It well about time that we get properly educated of the facts and what it is like to have a mental health issue, what ever that may be. It should be taught in schools and colleges even universities so that we tackle the issue at every level and even have a support groups somewhere people with a mental health issue can feel they are safe and able to talk about their particular mental illness and where they can get the support they need also they can see they are not on their on with having a mental illness as sometimes it can feel like that especially when it seems like no one else has the same troubles you do and they can just get on with their lives battles free.

Thanks for reading
Best wishes
Stacey
