I'd like to be a little candid for a moment.
I have been a little quiet here while I deal with a few personal issues.
But being quiet about my mental health struggles and my own journey isn't why I started this page.
The only way to fix things is to be open about them, so here goes.
I was the kid that could help everyone but never had the self worth or courage to fix myself.
This manifested over my life as attracting narcissistic partners because I didn't believe I deserved to be treated better, and if I worked harder they'd finally treat me right.
Taking on work until I was so overwhelmed that I didn't enjoy anything.
Over my life I've been grumpy and inattentive because I didn't know how to deal with the things going on in my head.
I used terms for my self like not worthy or I'm just a f**k up, always searching for validation.
With help I'm learning how to feel worthy of happiness and a loving safe partner. For now I'm working on me and to get rid of the self sabotaging thoughts that have held me back for so long.
I won't pretend to have the expertise to help everyone else but if by sharing a little of me it let's someone else share what's in their own head then it's still worth it.
Plus I've found an amazing therapist after finding other avenues useless if anyone needs.

Life is sometimes about putting one foot in front of the other and having a couple of people near by to say you've got this.
Start with the little goals and have an amazing day.

Today I'm struggling mentally.
To be honest I've had these days most of my adult life.
Somewhere as blokes we were taught to take on every responsibility and burden alone.
It's simply killing blokes from either not being able to speak or feeling embarrassed to speak.
So while I struggle today I'd like to raise awareness to everyone that might listen so we can start a conversation.
You don't have to do it all alone.
Have a fantastic day
