WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY.

I know I have been so slack with this page but life has just been crazy recently, I’ve been going through my own struggles and I’ve just been taking each day as it comes and doing my best to control and manage my anxiety.

lockdown was the hardest year of my life. The world went mad, we were all isolated and for me I just couldn’t cope. I finally let go of a huge secret that I’d been harbouring for the longest time and I crumbled. My mum and Jake had to get me emergency help from the mental health team who were amazing and I was put on strong medication. A year later and although I am still battling with my anxiety every. damn. day, I am now off all my medication and granted the last couple of months I have really struggled to keep my head above water.. I am SO proud at how far I have come.

Anxiety for me is not being able to live in the moment. To enjoy the little things. I’m always anxious about the things that haven’t even happened yet. I worry about the future and the struggles that may or may not happen. Jakes working away a lot at the moment and I worry about the day he goes away again before he has even arrived home for a day off!! I find myself wishing “uncomfortable” or stressful days away instead of just taking them as they are and enjoying the little things and then before I know it, another week has flown by which then causes more anxiety because I feel like my life is flashing before my eyes! It’s exhausting but I’m really working hard on it. The evenings I feel stressed or anxious, I take myself off to the gym for a workout or a swim. I’ve started listening to a positive mindset podcast & I TALK. Probably way too much for some people but I don’t keep how I feel to myself. I don’t hide it which is what I used to do and for me that is so important.

In order to normalise mental health issues, we need to talk! We are all only human, we aren’t robots, we have feelings and we struggle and that is totally ok! It’s ok to protect your mental health, look after yourself and do what makes you happy. Enjoy the little things in life, they are often the most important ❤️

WOW I’ve just noticed that I haven’t posted on this account since MARCH!! 🤯 life has been so full on lately, I’ve got to admit Ive definitely felt very overwhelmed these last few weeks.

I’ve honestly felt like I’ve had the weight of the world on my shoulders recently and even the simplest tasks have felt difficult. I’ve been struggling to eat and sleep and I’ve felt really lonely despite having a room full of people round me. I’m not writing this for sympathy or pity, I’m writing this so that if you’re feeling like this too, you are not alone! Things are going to get better and it’s a bad day NOT a bad life.

Find what makes you happy and get rid of the things that don’t 🌷 WE GOT THIS! 💖

It’s coming up to nearly one year since I was at my worst. I truly didn’t believe I would even see today. It’s weird because I remember so vividly how I felt but I cannot for the life of me begin to describe it.

I’ve had my struggles in the past with anxiety, depression & ptsd but what I went through was on a whole new level. I was like a living, walking zombie, I truly had no fight in me whatsoever. I was angry, sad, lonely, desperate. It’s been a long road and it’s nowhere near finished yet but I can honestly say I’m most definitely on the right path.

See, I’ve been battling with something traumatic over the last 10 years that I’d been holding so tightly to my chest and right at the start of the first lockdown, I chose to face it head on. I won’t go deeply into it but I was hurt, I reported it years later and I still didn’t get my justice HOWEVER, I kinda did because I’m free. It’s off my chest. I have taken the power back and I’ve chosen to live my life.

I think a part of me will always be haunted by what happened but I’m no longer going to let it define me. I’m not going to let the anger and sadness take over me anymore. I’m in control and I’m choosing to be happy and to move forward with my life. There is light at the end of the tunnel, always.

When I was at my worst, I got the help I needed and it was the best thing I ever did. I’m not ashamed to say I was put on medication, I saw doctors and after a bad experience with a counsellor, I found the most amazing one who has truly changed my life. I had my last counselling session a week ago, I may need to go back to her at some point but that’s totally fine! I’ve reduced my medication and Im in an amazing place right now and that’s all that matters to me.

I’m very lucky because I have an amazing partner (&family), an amazing family and I’ve had some amazing support off professionals. If you ever find yourself in a scary, lonely, sad place- please don’t hesitate to get help. You are needed on this earth and there are people out there who can help.

I’m excited for life and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for me.

Hello 👋🏼

Wow does it feel weird to be posting on this account! Firstly, I hope you’re all okay and getting through this third lockdown the best you can.

After being so regular on this account, I found myself needing a break. I didn’t want to post every day as it didn’t feel authentic anymore. I was struggling and I didn’t want to have to post positive quotes pretending I wasn’t.

I’m doing ok right now. I feel good. Lockdown is hard. I miss my family, I miss normality. I want to cuddle my niece and be there for her milestones. I’m one of the lucky ones though because I have a job and an incredible support system around me. My family will always be there and it won’t be long before I can hug them again. One of the positives(?!) of lockdown is how much time I get to spend with Jake. Prior to lockdown, it would be totally normal for Jake to be away for weeks at a time, most evenings he would would be working & weekends?! Pfft I’d be lucky! I know it drives him mad not doing what he loves, but this last year I’ve needed him more than he’ll ever know & it’s been a blessing to have him around. ❤️

There’s no easy way of getting through life right now. It’s bloody hard for all of us! I have just been making sure I’ve been going for plenty of walks, fresh air is key! Indulging in self care - my go too is a hot bubble bath whilst watching a documentary or even just having an early night. Anything that makes you feel good! It won’t always be like this, we can and will get through this and soon enough we will be back to going for drinks in a beer garden, cinema dates, shopping sprees, city breaks, sunny holidays, date nights out of the house! You name it, life as we once knew it will be back and I hope after all this - we all appreciate it more than ever!

Anyway, enough of my babbling. I hope you’re all well and staying safe!

Lots of love 🖤

Hi guys,

I know I haven’t done a post on this account in quite a while but life has been busy! I miss posting and writing down my thoughts and I really do want to make a conscious effort to try and start up again!

How are you feeling after Boris’ latest announcement? I feel very anxious and uneasy about another lockdown. I know that’s because of how badly I struggled with the first one but it honestly just fills me with dread! I know that some of you may also be feeling like it which is one of the main reasons I wanted to jump on here!

The difference to the first lockdown is definitely my mindset. I’m working so hard on myself at the minute and I am just determined not to go back to how I once was. The sadness and worthlessness that was once me seems like a lifetime ago now and that’s where I would like it to stay! I would say don’t let bad habits creep up on you during this lockdown, keep active & healthy and do things that you enjoy doing. Go for walks and get fresh air, keep a diary, FaceTime friends and family. This lockdown does not have to be a bad thing! As you all know myself and Jake have just opened up our brand new business Amor and of course that has been thrown a hurdle but believe me when I say, this is not going to beat us. We are still going to have an amazing launch, whenever that may be and I am so proud of what me and Jake have created 🖤 after what Jake and I went through not long ago, it’s just amazing where we are now.

I hope you’re all having a lovely, relaxing Sunday evening!

Stay safe guys!
Lots of love,
Jade x

My best friend, my partner and now my business partner. Thank YOU for keeping me going on my darkest days. Thank you for never giving up on me when you see me give up on myself, thank you for rubbing my hand to get me to sleep when I’m feeling sad and too scared to shut my eyes. Thank you for showering me in unconditional love, encouragement and hope. I can’t wait to take our business to the next level and continue to grow with you by my side. For you, I am so thankful! 🖤

💙 NATIONAL SU***DE PREVENTION MONTH 💙

Su***de is such an uncomfortable topic for everyone but it is something we do need to acknowledge. The thing about mental health is that we have to continue to learn and educate ourselves throughout life. Mental illness isn’t a one size fits all and if we do all make a conscious effort to stop being ignorant and learn more about it, I believe that we can all start spotting the signs and helping others.

Su***de is preventable, not inevitable. Not being ok is hugely stigmatised and together that is something we can all change. Let’s all talk about it, mental illness is such a selfish disease because it makes you feel alone and believe that you are alone. We can fight against that - talk to your friends and family. Chat with your colleagues, we can keep that conversation going and break the stigma. No matter how lonely you feel, you are NOT alone. There is always someone that will listen, someone that wants to help!

I have been educating myself more using the website Samaritans.org and I urge you to do the same. We can’t make a change if we don’t want to be the change.

Samaritans - 116 123 Samaritans are available day or night and are free!
