My journey to managing my mental illness…

Recovery isn’t linear this is my story to getting help with my Mental Health.

“To ‘mask’ or to ‘camouflage’ means to hide or disguise parts of oneself in order to better fit in with those around you. It is an unconscious strategy all humans develop whilst growing up in order to connect with those around us.” -Dr Hannah Belcher. My journey to understanding what is masking, what does it mean to me, to learn how to drop that mask for my mental health. As well as accepting the benefits.
