World mental health day

[Kavib]

This is just one moment out of many over the last 5yrs, I’ve experienced not being able to put into words how I’m feeling. I didn’t really suffer from mental health before my illness but it’s a reoccurring challenge that only helps by talking to someone & understanding why you have days where you just can’t seem to articulate your thoughts & feel quite sad. I wrote about some of these moments in my book Room 23 to let others know the difficulties. I always post happy positive images on my SM & very rarely share this emotion of my other days, it’s because I try & fill my days with things I enjoy to do, in return it changes my mood which I like to share with others. Being positive & being able to talk to charities like @brainandspine @thebeefoundation @sameyouorg has really helped me understand this & a huge shout out to my neuropsychologist Dr.Russel @salfordroyalhospital who has helped me through my most difficult days. If you haven’t experienced this then you can’t understand the uncertainty it brings - it needs to be talked about. It’s Mental health awareness day - do please be mindful of others and please be kind. 😊🦋. @worldmentalhealth

I’ve posted a video on my Instagram and Twitter to reflect this hope you get a chance to watch.

I know exactly what you mean. I have the problem because I can’t express myself in German here so in some ways I’m talking with the vocabulary of a ten year old and that’s really frustrating sometimes. I’m so glad that you have someone to express your feelings to, this site helps me a bit because I can at least type in my day problems and I even get answers having access to this site has made my day a little easier and better. I do hope you get answers too

Hiya Kavib.

The neuropsychologist you speak of “Dr Russell” do you mean

Dr Russell Sheldrik at Salford royal? If so he’s absolutely brilliant and although we’ve only spoken on the phone he’s helped me out in a big way 😁

Yes. I watched a Youtube video stating how much more common depression and anxiety is in those with Brain Injury. Not just depression but more serious mental health conditions such as biplor
