We all have mental health and wellbeing

I had started blogging about my mental wellbeing because I needed to share my experiences knowing I was not the only one. It was therapeutic and cathartic.

Despondency ensued, as it tends to, as I had few views, no one commented.  Who was I reaching, helping?

Over the past couple of years I have voiced my encouragement to colleagues and management to talk about mental health, to help end the stigma, pointing out the language sometimes used in meetings and telephone calls was not helpful.  I wanted the company to celebrate and acknowledge World Mental Health day – yes they would as an “add on” to Customer Service and Equality and Diversity Weeks. 

Mental health and wellbeing is not an add-on.  It is an intrinsic part of someone.

So why decide to write again?  I am passionate that mental health not be seen as a taboo subject, it’s OK to talk about it.  We all have mental health and wellbeing.
