If you're struggling you can so often feel like you're alone and just being able to see someone that's gone through something similar to you can make all the difference in the world. My mental health journey began when I was around the age of 13 in in Year 8, and I felt like there were so many pressures for me to look a certain way and to be a certain way, and without even really noticing, my eating habits started to change quite a lot and I developed really serious anorexia nervosa. And even though the road to recovery was definitely not easy, as anxiety and depression came into the picture, I got through all of it and here I am today. Before I started sharing my story with other people, I'd never really spoken about it, and I also felt I was a bit ashamed about the whole thing. I think ever since I have recovered from being unwell, I've just been really inspired to want to help other people who are in similar situations. Sharing my story at the ReachOut birthday party was such an incredible experience for me, and I've never done a speech in front of that many people before, so although it was quite nerve-wracking it was really exciting for me as well just to know that my story is going to be heard by so many people. And it was also quite a special moment because my whole family was there - my mum was there, my sister, my grandparents - all there to support me. I've had some great responses and great feedback and people have told me that it's inspiring and people say thank you a lot thank you so much for sharing, which means the world to me. The advice I would give to other young people about sharing their story is, I would tell them how important it is and how much it can make a difference and how if there is a young person struggling and they see a story of someone that's going through the same thing, it can seriously make all the difference in the world.
