FROM SURVIVING TO LIVING: MY MENTAL HEALTH JOURNEY
by Dan BennettFrom an early age, I have battled with depression and anxiety as quietly as possible; I was never properly able to voice my feelings without them being diminished, shot down or completely ignored. For years I was ridiculed and judged for not wanting to be a part of groups, frequently isolating myself from people, and […]

by Laura CowenEvery Winter I get a cold that wipes me out from around November to March. This is most likely down to the fact that I sometimes forget to take my multivitamins and refuse to take a jacket on a night out. But not only do I battle through a stuffy nose and a cough every […]

A mental health sick day
by Jessamy MattinsonI can’t decide whether today is a mental health sick day. My morning has consisted of cold sweats, palpitations and a splitting headache preventing me from being able to see straight. Maybe I’m run down or I’ve caught a virus? Maybe it’s all in my head, I don’t have a clue. I’m sat writing this in bed […]

We All Break The Same: Mental Illness
by Teresa JohnsonWhen you find out that someone is mentally ill or hear the words “mental illness,” what image is painted in your mind? Is it someone running around a padded room wearing a straitjacket? Are they unstable? Unapproachable? Is there a apparent line that separates you from them? What would happen if that picture was you?
