The Healing Formula, London (2025)

27/04/2024

If I could go back with all the knowledge and understanding that I now have about mental health and healing, there would be no way that I would have ever tried to end my life. At the time, I saw it as the only way out, I felt I had no other options, I was completely lost and in utter desperation and I attempted to leave this world, twice within the space of 6 weeks.

Today, I am so so grateful to still be here and I now know that there are so many avenues to recovery and that it is possible to heal completely from depression and anxiety. For years I thought that I would always have to live with it but I can happily say that I was wrong, the future I had in my head that I spent so long living in, the one in which I would suffer for the rest of my life, couldn’t have been more wrong!

I now hear from people on an almost daily basis that no longer want to be here, many of whom are very close to taking action to leave us. I wish that I could give those people a glimpse of how I now feel and of what I have learnt, because I truly understand how it feels to live free of that intense level of suffering after fighting so hard to take back my life and that is a gift that I just wish that I could give to others.

Sadly, I can’t just give that to anyone, the best I can do is try to share all I can to help others to find their own way to healing, to show that it is possible and be the best guide that I can be in taking people through that process. This is why I became a coach and created a programme to help people take the right steps, along with an online mental health community. I want people to know they’re not alone and that there is a way out.

So if you’re feeling like giving up, please listen to my words, it does get better, I promise you that. It takes work but that work is the best work you will ever do. You will get through this, I know you have the power inside of you, I believe in you, my friend.

From personal experience, I can testify that the biggest transformation I’ve ever been through came through the hardest lessons. For all of the days that I spent living in internal hell, I gained so much from it, I learnt how to overcome that challenge, how to build mental strength and resilience and how to be the best version of myself, for me and for everyone else.

I wouldn’t change any of it because it made me who I am today, and I am someone that I can be proud of.

I know that whatever you may be going through right now may be so hard and so painful but you will be growing so much for going through it.

Keep persevering, keep fighting, because a huge transformation is waiting for you on the other side. 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Today marks 5 years to the day since I last attempted to take my own life and what a journey it’s been since then, one that has taken me out of the depths of hell to actually loving who I am and feeling happy.

My healing journey started on this night 5 years ago after my best friend saved my life with a divinely timed phone call in the middle of the night, and that night I made a promise to myself that I would do whatever it takes to get better.

From that moment on, I started prioritising my self care, I exercised, spent more time in nature, opened up to friends, family, to everyone, I learned to meditate, I practiced mindfulness, I stopped drinking and taking drugs, in fact, I was just open to try anything that might help and over the following months my life changed completely.

My anxiety and depression went away and I started to enjoy life, I started to feel good about myself. I built self respect and practiced gratitude everyday for the work I was doing on myself. And in time this turned into self love, a feeling I had never experienced before.

Today, I’m here in front of you to show you that you can change your life, no matter how bad things have been. Sure, life can still be challenging at times and I’m certainly not perfect, I’m currently doing some deep work on my childhood at the moment and it’s tough, but it is most definitely not pulling me back into depression because that part of my is healed, I just know that I can always heal more parts of myself and grow in new ways.

Healing and growth may be a lifelong process but there is so much beauty in that, because it really is about the journey, not the destination.

I’m a huge advocate for self care to help us, not just in our healing journeys, but also to help us to become the best version of ourselves, because the work we do on ourselves becomes our gift to everyone else.

It was through consistent self care that I managed to pull myself out of depression and anxiety and it’s how I continue to look after myself everyday.

If you’re struggling with your mental health then start trying to add in little bits of self care throughout your day, things like taking a few deep breaths, going for a walk at lunchtime, waking up early and doing a 5 meditation in your garden, getting a little exercise or whatever can help you to feel good or put a smile on your face.

To open up a little about my own trauma -

When I lost my dad when I was 14 years old, I had no idea how to process emotions, I had this flawed belief that boys aren’t supposed to cry and that to be a man meant I shouldn’t show weakness, I incorrectly believed that if I felt emotion then I would be weak. This belief lead me to completely shut down, but I now understand that there was so much more to it. My sub conscious was protecting me, I didn’t have the professional support that could have helped, I distanced myself from everyone, in fact, I would say that the only point from these slides that I couldn’t necessarily relate to is the neurobiological factors, as I would have no way to know that.

21 years later, I’m still working on my automatic response of shutting down when facing uncomfortable situations. I’m a lot better than I once was and I am able to sit with discomfort but there is still a large part of me that wants to turn away in those moments so there definitely is still work to do, especially when facing a lot of my other past traumas.

Healing is a life long journey but that’s okay, we heal one part of us at a time and move onto the next. For me, I’ve healed my depression, I’ve healed my anxiety, I’ve healed my suicidal tendencies, I now need to heal that small boy inside that I once was.

Opening up is such a big part of the healing journey and sometimes simply having someone to talk to can be a massive help.

Many of us don’t have anyone to open up to or maybe they just wouldn’t get it or know what to say if we did. So I’m here, asking how you are, because I genuinely care, I’ve been there and I know how lonely and isolating that place can be. I will do everything I can to help anyone going through a difficult time.

Let’s all come together and support one another!

If you don’t feel to open up in the comments then you can send me a message if you’d like to share. Sometimes the act of opening up can be healing in itself.

Cold water therapy is one of the fastest ways that you can rid yourself of stress and anxiety and lift your mood. It’s an instant hit of dopamine that will typically last at least two hours but can on occasion keep you going all day!

It’s an incredible practice for mindfulness, as it becomes quite hard to focus on anything outside of the cold.

It is something that I cannot recommend enough but please do practice cold water therapy with caution. Don’t push yourself to your limits, especially if you’re new to it. If you’re swimming in the wild, consider going with a friend or take a buoyancy aid.

A good place to start is to simply have a cold blast at the end of your shower and gradually build up. It will certainly help to invigorate you!

Another great quote from as your slice of Monday motivation.

This is something that I’ve had my own troubles with, the voice of self doubt, imposter syndrome and a lack of self belief.

The only way to change it to take the leap of faith and learn to fly as we go.

If you can relate to any of these thoughts drop “❤️❤️❤️” in the comments.

Having the correct mindset is absolutely essential when it comes to healing and that all starts with understanding how negative self talk can greatly hinder any impact that healing tools may have in your journey.

Getting behind your actions with the right beliefs will add so much weight to the overall positive effect that they have.
