I'm fundraising for... everyone like me !

I am taking part in Move it for Mental Health! Please support me and donate today.  I have had a really tough few years and it all came to a head recently. I'm not looking for sympathy, everyone has hard times and that's just the point ! I was looking for, needed support and understanding which I didn't get .So many people suffer with mental health in silence for many reasons.  I found that people that were close to me, friends and family, didn't understand and didn't know how to help or how to deal with me, often causing even more problems, getting 'proper' help was a minefield and the NHS was too little too late. Mental health can show in many forms, initially it didn't even cross my mind I was suffering from 'mental health' Im a strong independent woman who can cope with everything.... but I eventually realised I was ill. If we want labels, Depression, anxiety, panic attacks and worse and I eventually hit as low as you can go.

 I was one of the lucky ones, I'm a tough cookie with history as a counsellor, but even cookies crumble at times, but I've managed to somehow self help and I'm on the rocky road to being well again.  This walk is helping as its giving me a focus, purpose to keep going and help others who may not be as lucky as me.  Please support me today with as much as you can spare. Thank you x
