Movement in May

Friday 1st May
May is national mental health awareness month!!!

31 days in May = an extra 31 miles to do throughout the month. Which is what im going to do! 

The 31st May also marks the 1 year anniversary of loosing my partner and Jacks daddy, Trev. Its a day im dreading once again because of what it means! A whole 365 days without Trev here, remembering everything that happened that day and each day that has followed- the good, the bad and the damn right ugly, the moments that I havent been able to share with him, without him being by my side. 

Ive suffered with my mental health for years- with anxiety, depression, birth trauma, PTSD but nothing could prepare me for the grief and trauma when Trev lost his life in an RTC. When a simple motorbike ride to try out some new leathers would effectively change our family, our lives, and our mental health in ways noone could understand. That day I lost my person, my better half, the ying to my yang, my sanity in the chaos and so so much more. 

Battling with your own mind daily is quite frankly exhausting- physically, mentally and emotionally and I've been so lucky in that I've had so much support from professionals, organisations, family, and friends around...... i'm also very open when it comes to my own mental health but sadly this isnt the case for everyone. 

More needs to be done to remove the stigma around mental health and people feeling able to reach out for support, to speak openly when they are struggling, and have access to the right services, even more so at the time they need it. 

This isn't only about me having something to focus on daily throughout the month of may but to do something positive and with purpose to help others who may be struggling with their mental health too! So if you can please share, donate, follow my journey throughout may (i promise ill throw in some laughs along the way!) And remember...... 
You are loved! 
You are stronger than believe!
You've made it through 100% off your worst days! 
Its ok not to be ok!
