Heart palpitating, the mind as the fastest and most intense washing machine of irrationality, and, ultimately, the struggles of lows in contrast to the highs- or maybe an inability to even develop those highs. Lets talk mental health.
Mental health issues are a major concern for society today, furthermore, an incredible concern for myself, your average teen, whom completely craves a voice on this growing catastrophe. So that’s exactly what I’m doing. I’m-finally-enabling myself a voice, something which I’ve oppressed to an unimaginable degree. This is not just for my own release of agitation and personal experiences with such issues, but to be the voice of teens trapped tragically in their own minds.
I was totally influenced to start this blog due to the recent, devastating, news that a friend, holding such a extraordinary place in my heart, attempted to take her own life. In addition to this, I was influenced not just by my friend facing suicidal thoughts, but many others in my life, including myself, whom struggles with their mental health. Previously, I read on The Guardian Labs that Suicide is one of the biggest killers among young men and woman aged 20-34 in the UK, concluding the horrific reality of mental illness.
How would you feel if, from this discussion and spreading of awareness concerning mental health, that we, together, could make a difference? Exhilarating, right? So, on that note, theres no more waiting around.
