Mental health matters, it needs to matter. Growing up with a disability I didn't know I had, I was aware something was amiss with my mental health. I just couldn't get a handle on it.

The bad thoughts were never far behind. It didn't matter how much I tried to replace the bad thoughts, they were never far away. That went on for years.

Anxiety, Depression and Covid-19

In the pandemic, we have all been affected by mental health. Rises in anxiety and depression have gone up in the pandemic. We've probably all caught the virus at least once, some two or three, or even four or five times. We have all been affected by the virus in some way.

The fear of catching the virus stayed with me for a good year and a half before I caught it. That's a lot of mental health to deal with, I know I'm not alone. Mental health matters. I make it matter, you should make it matter, we should all make it matter.

No one is free of 'mental health' problems

No one is free of mental health problems and yet it is ignored. Mental health issues run in families and it starts in childhood. I deal with it and continue to talk about it through my blog. My twin dealt with mental health, but different to me. The truth is, mental health is never far away and yet it continues to be ignored.
