I'm on the Gold Coast at the moment staying at my mums house for a few weeks to get away from busy Sydney for a bit! I've struggled with depression and anxiety since before my teenage years, when I was a child and hardly old enough to know what was happening to my once innocent thoughts. Relapsing has been on and off over the last 5 years, going in and out of psychiatric wards to gain insight on what was going on. This manifested again at the end of April, with another suicide attempt.
I apologise if this post is at all triggering to anyone, but now that I'm feeling stronger I thought the least I could do is let people know that I've been there. I used to absolutely hate my body, and it's only been in the past year that I've gained confidence with it. Please, if any of you ever need to chat with someone I am more than happy to help within my abilities.
This subject arises as my partner has been submitted to hospital yesterday, and I've never experienced a loved one in hospital as I was usually on the other side of the situation. If you guys have any tips on how I can be more supportive to him or how to cope with that overwhelming feeling of helplessness, it would be majorly appreciative!
On lighter news, thank you for the new follows and I hope you are all happy and healthy!
P.s. literally bath thoughts x
