Hi dollies!

 

Through my MSW campaign, I want to raise awareness for Mental Health.

 

It is a rising epidemic and so many people are affected by it, it is becoming more regular in young people like me.

 

My Story:

 

I suffer from depression and anxiety and I have had it since I was 13 years old. I am 15 now and it is very hard to live with. My mental health came from bullying and lots of pressure from school.

 

I received help a few months ago by telling my parents, it was a very hard thing to do but I am so glad I did it. I am on the road to recovery, although with my exams looming, i already feel the pressure to do well.

 

Some different types of Mental Health issues:

- Anxiety

- Depression

- OCD

- Mania

- Hypermania

- Bipolar

- ADHD

- Schizophrenia

 

Some eating disorders:

- Anorexia

- Bulimia

- Binge eating

 

How do I get help?

To anyone suffering from a mental health disorder, I hope you get help and you are not alone.
