They tell me to write down my thoughts and feelings, to stop them building up inside my mind, to get them down in black and white as it may help clear my mind a little. Time after time though I get abusive comments back from people who must seriously get a kick out of doing it. I’ve never understood why l there are people out there who would deliberately set out to spoil someone’s day, to abuse for no reason. I just don’t get it. I’ve had my fair share since writing my blog. Telling me I’m attention seeking, even had one telling me to just stop moaning about my mental health and do us all a favour and end my life. As you can imagine, these comments never get approved. We’re always told to talk, to share your experiences with others to help get an understanding of what we’re going through. I won’t be put off by idiotic comments from individuals who set out to have a dig at people like myself. We can’t let them win, we have to keep talking and break this stigma surrounding mental health. Bottling it up never did any good. I want others to reach out, to know that they are not alone in all of it. The more we talk about it the more help and support we can give each other.
It’s only a short one today but I wanted to just let others out there know that we can’t let the bullies win.
Things haven’t improved much with my own mental health unfortunately. Still struggling with my sleep, my mood during the day is low and I’m just trying to break the cycle as best I can. It’s hard but I’m getting some help and support from people who really do care. I haven’t given up just yet but the fight is a struggle that I just hope I have enough energy to keep fighting.
Thank you all for everything you’ve done for me. Your support has been a massive help to keep me going. I hope you all have a lovely day and thank you for continuing to be so supportive. It means the absolute world to me 💚
