Most of the time I am loud, animated, ridiculous and definitely posses no word filter. I want this blog to be uplifting and fun. Sometimes though we need to take a step back. We need to breathe. We need to remember that we are not super heroes.
On Thursday I was supposed to fly out to Hong Kong and have brand new amazing adventures. It didn't happen. I have struggled with mental illness for a very long time. I have been on top of it on and off however the last few months has been a big decline. I decided not to go on my trip so I could stay home, get healthy and get better. I have been so lucky to have the most amazing family and friends who are always supportive.
Mental Illness is finally becoming more understood and accepted. It's okay to have a day at home where you do nothing. It's okay to sleep in. It's okay to put yourself first. It's okay to do these things. If you are feeling down at any point, whether it's a day or a week or a month or a year please talk to somebody. Whether it is a psychologist, a family member, a friend, your teacher, your boss. Just talk to somebody. There are hotlines you can call as well if you would prefer not to talk to someone face to face.
You are not weak for feeling like this. You are amazing, and worthy and important. I want everybody to know that. This world is amazing and I want to explore every inch of it. When I am feeling particularly stressed or sad or anxious I get my favourite travel guides out and get lost in all the places that I feel homesick for but I have not yet been to.
You are all amazing,
Jayde xx
