Why I'm doing this

Monday 14th Sep
Every charity needs our help but when you have had first hand experience of accessing services who are in a word life saving you completely have a different understanding of their necessity.

 This last year our family have had to face the hardest time in our lives. 

Everyone of us is at risk some way or another of suffering with our mental health.  People need people to talk to,to listen and to understand wso we can all navigate through.

I am doing this is memory of my mom who suffered for many years over a quarter of my lifetime with her mental health following a diagnosis of subsequent cancers.  And the end of last year was the worst of times.  Mom spent 6 months in hospital while they changed medication to be told she had a diagnosis of bipolar disorder.  They were able to stabilise this to then be told not only did she have bipolar but early onset Alzheimer's.  Mom went from a mental health hospital she had been in for 6 months to a physical health hospital for 3 weeks to a care home for 3 months and 23rd July she sadly passed away.   

I am only sharing this to highlight in all of this time mom was affected but so were we as a family and only for the support of family, friends and professional help have we been able to carry on and get through.

Talk don't stop talking, research and find support systems because everyone involved is affected physically, mentally and emotionally.

We are still working through it all at the moment but any donations are gladly received.

And from 1st hand experience. Mental health access is better than years ago but we still aren't there yet.  The stigma is less yet still there and the only way is for us all to have understanding. Be kind kindness doesn't cost anything x 

This is just my way of highlighting and giving back for the years we have accessed those necessary lifelines x
