If your reading this then first of all, thank you. Iāve never written a blog before but here goes…
š« POTENTIAL TRIGGER WARNING: š«
Self harm/Suicide/traumatic events
If youāve got this far into reading my blog then I guess you want to know a bit about me. Im Becca, Iām 20 years old and I have been sectioned under the mental health act since November 2016.
I have suffered with various complex mental health issues since I was in my early teenage years. Growing up was exceedingly difficult and as a result of my uncontrollable deterioration in my mental health I was subsequently sectioned. I am currently in a psychiatric hospital and I am still detained against my will.
Iāve always wanted to write a blog, in hope that maybe people who are struggling realise that they are NEVER alone. I have experienced periods of darkness in my life where I have felt like nobody would ever understand, but the turning point in realising your not alone is experiencing the support from other people, whether this be, family, friends, people youāve met online, teachers, colleagues, the list goes on.
I just want to be someone people can turn too, I want to not only raise awareness of mental health but to help be there for people when I felt like nobody was there for me. I know first hand how it feels, and I would never wish that on anyone. Feeling like you have nobody to turn too is one of the most challenging experiences I have gone through, and if I can make the difference to one person I will be happyšš»
So while you read about pointless shit that I write, updates on my current situation and follow me through my journey of recovery please remember you can always reach out if you have any questions, need advice or just want someone to talk too.
Thank you for reading any constructive criticism is great fully appreciated but if you donāt like reading what Iām writing then donāt subscribe and donāt read. I have put that it is potentially triggering as a whole on this blog and I do not want to cause anyone to become distressed by what they are reading.
Once again, Thank youš§”
