About me

Hi, I'm Beth, since being diagnosed with a generalised anxiety disorder at the age of 14, I have been in and out of the mental health system since. I have also been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. I understand the struggles that come with suffering with mental health and trauma and I want to make a blog that helps bring awareness to the truth of the struggle of dealing with mental health. While also educating people who are unaware to break the stigma that comes with having a mental health condition, as well as looking at how mental health is shown and perceived within wider society and the media. DISCLAIMER: I am not a medical professional just simply someone with a personal experience who wants to share it to bring awareness to the wider problem.
