#ProjectIAmNotAshamed

On Saturday 18th August 2018, individuals are encouraged to step outside in their community with a sign which reads "I have (your mental illness) or I am a loved one of someone with (their disorder) and I am not ashamed. Break the Stigma #ProjectIAmNotAshamed".

The project was created by Ross Trowbridge in order to allow individuals whom suffer with mental health attempt to break the stigma and prove that they are not ashamed of their mental illness.

This is a fantastic project which allows those who are suffering to unite in breaking the stigma, and I applause Ross for all of the hard work he has put into the project so far.

I'll be getting involved, will you?

New Month, New Start (?)

I'm winging life right now, and due to my mental health deteriorating, that's the best thing I can do.

As exclaimed in my previous post, I aim to be more creative this year and during the time I am doing this, I hope to discover my true self.

This post again, is pretty much a ramble and unfortunately we're going to have to develop a list of crap like the mainstream bloggers do. However, here is what my aims are for February:

• Create a DIY Self Care Box - Reading about these online, I've finally become keen on the idea after several years of thinking "what a load of crap, stop romanticizing my shitty feelings". A self care box doesn't have to be the same as those created on Pinterest or YouTube, so I'm going to fill it with all sorts of rubbish which reminds me of the good times.
• Buy more clothes - I probably shouldn't, according to my overflowing wardrobe and bank balance, but I aim to dress how I wish to, rather than following 'fashion' like a sheep. Goodbye to websites like PLT and Missguided...I'm not suitable for your figure hugging linen, so back to vintage it is for me. 

• Write poems - One of my very little talents. I love creative writing, and it's a great way to remove my feelings from overflowing the mind. The best bit is, no one has to read them, so I can still keep everything to myself.
• Exercise - I know. I said before I wouldn't be one of those people posting their exercise regime, however I aim to walk more seeing as exercising releasing endorphins, which are beneficial for mental health. 

Let's see how long this lasts for...
