My Mental Health Journal

It’s been almost a month since my last blog and I wasn’t sure if I was ever going to post another one but something told me today to get writing again.

So here I am, I’m still the same as I was before but I’m still fighting it as best I can and now have a few things in place that are helping me towards overcoming my battle with my mental health. I’m still having some emotional and wellbeing therapy sessions every week where I talk to someone and they try to get me to see the positives, however small they may be, in me. I’m still having a hard time accepting the ones that I’ve been told of but they keep telling me to say them over and over out loud every single morning. Re-training the brain into a more positive mindset. I’ve also recently had a triage assessment with Wolverhampton Healthy Minds over which kind of therapy would best suit my needs. After opening up to them, telling them all the troubles I’m struggling with, they have decided that the best course of action would be high intensity face to face CBT. I had it once before and it really helped but then the pandemic hit and so it was forced to cancel. I am now getting out more and more ,starting to push myself and get on top of my anxiety. I have also applied to do some voluntary work with the Wolves Foundation, for their Head 4 Health project to be precise. I have an informal interview this Thursday which I’m looking forward to.

I’m still having some other issues that I’m going through but they are more personal and I’m not willing to share that part of my life in my blog, not now, if at all.

There hasn’t really been a lot else going on in my life but I’m working on it, working on making myself not how I used to be but even better that I was before.

We all need to keep talking , don’t ever suffer in silence . There is always someone out there willing to listen to you, whether that’s a family member, a friend or even a complete stranger. Always remember you are not alone.

Nothing lasts forever. These days will pass and better days will come. So for now, let’s make the most of each day, cherish the laughter, and the moments that make your heart smile.

I will be back with another blog soon but for now, take care stay safe and keep on fighting. 💚
