What’s Your Story?
Hello, Welcome to our corner of the internet.
Story 1!
About me!
As one part of What’s Your Story, I thought it would be important to explain my story.
I silently waged an internal battle that left me feeling overwhelmed, lost, frustrated, isolated and depressed. I didn’t like the person I would see looking back at me in the mirror! At this point I knew something had to change!
I spoke out, explaining my feelings about my mental health to my family and friends was the most difficult thing to do. But the conversation supported me on my journey!
With this in mind, it manifested the idea to create this platform where people can talk, where you can be comfortable to share.
There is no judgement here, just love and compassion for others who can empower a movement to break the stigma.
I have shared my story.

Story 2!
My turn to share a little bit about me!
As the 2nd partner of What’s Your Story, to be fitting with the message, I had to share more about me!
Being able to express yourself in a world where there is so much negativity or where you are expected to conform can be very difficult.
Growing up, mental health and wellbeing was probably not something I really thought about. As an adult I do struggle at times to say how a truly feel, with my thought process being “why do other people have to deal with my problems as well as theirs?”
Going through a particularly challenging time when I was 21, this was the same approach I took and I bottled everything up inside and thought I need to get through this on my own.
I randomly blurted out about the situation with a work colleague who was so understanding and from that one conversation, persuaded me to reach out to my family. To this day I am still so grateful for his wise words (that one person knows who they are).
From that one experience the importance of talking and being able to share your true thoughts and feelings, is paramount to being able to take ownership and get the support you need (although if I’m honest I still probably struggle with the concept!).
This opportunity to be able to have an outlet of trying to normalise the “get talking” philosophy, whilst helping to end the “man up” stigma is a key reason for me pushing on with the initiative.
I really hope in some small way, we can stop people suffering in silence, one individual story at a time!
Please don’t stay silent! xxx
