Every 40 seconds someone decides to end their own life. Just because you can’t see it, doesn’t mean it isn’t there. Be kind. You never know what someone is carrying💛

Ways Hope Bags works to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health💛

Between 2019 and 2022, I made several attempts to take my own life and as a result I was hospitalised. Each time it became harder to recover from the last but the mental struggles I was facing were so intense and dark, I truly believed there was no other way out. I was eventually diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder and for a short while, having a diagnosis was helpful. It felt like I now had a reason as to why I was in so much mental distress. However, it wasn’t long before I realised how challenging it would be to live with this diagnosis and I once again felt so hopeless.

I spent years grieving the life I thought I’d have in my 20’s. Living independently, having close friends, meaningful relationships, being a successful performer and chasing whatever dream I set my mind on. Doctors told me that I needed to be ‘more realistic,’ that I needed to ‘manage my expectations.’ So I moved back home and slowly started to let go of each and every thing I’d wanted to do in my life.

In 2023 I still was miserable and exhausted. I knew that if I was going to choose to live, I wouldn’t be able to continue to the way I currently was. I needed to choose to be bold, different and go against what my doctors were telling me. I changed my focus and began helping people just like me. I started my own mental health organisation that supports people struggling with their mental health. I finally had a purpose. A reason.

Living with BPD is one of the biggest challenges I’ve ever faced but finding a purpose and learning that I was more than just a diagnosis or a statistic was the only way I was able to turn my life around.

If you’re feeling hopeless at the moment and like there is no way you can continue on, just remember that those feelings won’t last. You will experience happiness and joy again, you just have to hold on.

Thank you to for your continued work in the mental health space and for inspiring me and many others💛
