But regardless of these labels, I still get myself out of bed in the morning. I still go to work. I still try and socialise, etc. Yes, I do have bad days where I would much rather hide under my duvet cover singing with my Smule Karaoke app and watch Disney films, but these are now very few and far between.
A lot of people always say they wouldn't guess I was ill. But why would they? Mental health problems are a silent disability. Anyone can suffer from them.
I don't want to go into the reason's behind my illnesses, as I said I've only had them a couple years. But all I can say is I won't let them beat me and will continue to fight them with the right help and medication (even though I hope to be off the medication soon!).
The only way to describe how I feel on a bad day is that I'm drowning in water while I'm watching everyone else breathing air.
I find the below very useful, especially if I'm having a down day:
- Reading books
- Baking cakes
- Spending time with family or my boyfriend
- Going out on day trips
- Having a duvet day with my boyfriend
- Big hugs
- Having a pamper night
- Drawing and much more
