So this week is Mental Health Awareness week and suffering with both anxiety and depression, I thought it would be a good idea to make a post.
I was diagnosed with anxiety a couple of years ago and struggle with it daily. I get anxious when I'm in crowds of people and I get anxious when I'm alone. This isn't the best combination to have and I should probably see someone about it rather than struggling by myself, but it's time and money I haven't got at the moment. I get anxiety attacks about the slightest things- even about posting my blogs as I feel like they aren't good enough for people and I will either get laughed at or talked about. This is why I can go for a week without posting as I feel my posts aren't good enough for anyone, and because of that I have no motivation to write.
I also need to go back to the doctors as I think I have another mental health illness as I'm up and down all the time- sort of a mix of bipolar and schizophrenia, but I would prefer to go to the doctors rather than self-diagnosing myself.
This is something only my family knows as it's a delicate subject but my depression can get really bad at times- I have self harmed myself in more ways than one and have ended up in hospital because of one of those reasons. When I was with Ollie and I was feeling depressed and would harm myself, he didn't offer the support I needed. To begin with he did- he took me to the hospital on multiple occasions, but after it happened a few more times, he started to think it was for attention rather than because I'm battling depression.
As I work in a college, we are promoting Mental Health Awareness week all week and have been sent a web link which I shall attach below, which has some really good information on about mental health and the different illnesses, and what is the best way to get help. Now when reading these illnesses, please DON'T self diagnose yourself, that isn't the point of this post, I just want to make you aware of the illnesses that are out there and give you information on these and how you can get help.
If you are facing depression or any mental health illness, please know you are not alone and if you self harm or are suicidal you have people to talk too and listen! I am one of those people, if you ever need just someone to listen while you're crying out for help or have hit rock bottom then please feel free to send me an email, tweet me or even send me a message on Facebook- Sara Harpum. I will listen to you and I will be there for you as I know what it's like when your whole world is crashing down around you and there's no one around to listen or tell you that you can make it through this or even just give some positive words!
Going through a mental illness alone is the scariest thing I have done and continue to do on a daily basis. I know when you meet me I wouldn't show signs of depression or anxiety, but I've suffered for so many years that I'm able to put a mask on and hide what I am feeling.

Thank Sara, for being there. You are a good listener. I sometimes feel low and upset for no reason, can you tell me what may be the exact reason for this? Is this because I am unable to express my emotions and myself easily? Some people suggested me to Buy Etizolam to cure the stress in mind. What should I do?
