Yesterday I spent a lot of time setting up my charity that I had previously put on hold. The focus is on providing peer-to-peer mental health support.
A few years ago when I was going through tough times and felt so alone, my mum would always recommend I spoke to a therapist. This never appealed, why would I want to talk to someone twice my age about problems that relate to my generation. I struggled with this a lot at the time.
What Speak Up does, is give you someone to talk to, that's a similar age. Someone who can relate to what you're talking to, they can listen, they can share their own experiences.
It felt like a productive day once again for me, the past week I have been locked in more than ever before. I'm loving it, I go to bed excited for the next day, for the learning, the challenges.
