”I am not ashamed to say that I have had challenges with my own mental health

over the years.”

“I have my demons and although I have come a long way I am still battling. Talking to others and surrounding myself with friends and family really has been the best medicine .”

“I think just knowing you are not on your own is an amazing feeling. It is

comforting to know we are also part of an organisation full of people that support

and understand.”

“Know exactly what you mean. Had issues myself back in 2002.”

“I too have suffered with anxiety and depression at stages during my life. Talking helps, lets start talking about it more and break down the barriers.”
