My journey with mental health. The first time I have made this public. Please donate what you can ❤️ thank you xxx

I'm running/jogging/walking 31 Miles in August to help raise money for Mental Health UK. 

I haven't made this public before due to creating vulnerability, but this year I have suffered seriously with my mental health. I have been at my lowest, I have struggled to see a way out of the darkness and a way forward. When you're in that place, it is very hard to see things rationally. Some days I have been so scared. Life just becomes overwhelming. This is depression and anxiety. Depression and anxiety do not define me!

I have recently been diagnosed with PTSD due to the traumas I have encountered throughout my life. I'm currently in therapy to help with this. My feelings are so complex, I know that my road to recovery is a long one. So I have decided to take on this challenge to also better my own mental health. It will give me something to focus on in a positive way. 

Thank you for taking your time to read this. 

Please, if you can, donate what you are able to. Mental health resources in the UK are very sparse and so many people struggle and feel alone. Your donations can help save someone. Every life is precious. Thank you xxx

Today I decided to go for a long walk. As some of you know, we lost our cat Buddy last week. The vets rang me this morning to tell me his ashes were back for us to collect. So I walked from Swanland to Anlaby and back again. I've not been very productive the last few days so this has me back on track. ❤️

Not really feeling it today.. one of those days. Yesterday all I felt all day was overwhelm and anxiety. I'm not even sure why!! I still went out, today I'm having a day off. Hopefully back out tomorrow to add more miles ❤️

Took my boys out for a wander around North Cave Wetlands today. They absolutely loved it. Then I fancied a ride out on my bike once all the children were in bed. Parameter of Swanland a little further ❤️
