From someone who has battled and continues to battle my own mental health issues reading about suicides across the world has broken my heart. I too have suffered with severe anxiety since early 2018. This led to me becoming isolated from everyday life and from the people around me. This anxiety slowly led to severe self-loathing, something that still affects me to this day. Depression kicked in as i fell ill in February of 2018, leaving me bed bound for 3 months and me gaining 30kg from the heavy medication i was taking. Since then however, my mental state has improved drastically and my mind is clearer than it has ever been. Opening up was the key to this and i will be forever grateful to the person i first opened up to for accepting me with such love and not judging my actions. I've started a petition to help raise awareness for people suffering with mental health issues throughout this lockdown period. In the petition I've also mentioned the creation of a platform on Twitter and Instagram for people that may need to open up and have a chat about their problems. I would greatly appreciate if you could share or even just sign the petition below and follow the account @lockdownpal on Twitter and Instagram to help me spread the word.
