July 2018. Had a messy breakup, a friend had passed away from suicide, I had money issues and (unknown to me at the time) my 5 year long undiagnosed PTSD was at its worst, leading to one of the darkest days in life on the 4th. This photo was taken by my sister days before. https://twitter.com/brokeymcpoverty/status/1017098515347066880

I had spent my whole life always smiling through any pain and I’d become pretty good at it.
On the 4th, nothing happened and that’s purely because of @alwaysreviewing rushing over to my house and cuddling me until I stopped crying. She’s an angel who deserves the world.

A whole year later in July 2019, I was diagnosed with a 7 year long PTSD and had cognitive behavioural therapy... my therapist Adam was incredible whilst my family, my friends and my work were extremely supportive- I was a lucky one I suppose.

Now, whenever I take a photo of myself smiling, it’s genuine- I’m happy & in a very great place now

Nobody in this world deserves to feel worthless or upset- reach out, get help and remember that someone in your life loves you for who you are #MentalHealthMatters

Here’s a video I was a part of with @surreyunion about male mental health.

If you’re struggling, reach out for professional help and seek comfort in loved ones. Also, make sure to check up on your mates, especially if they seem distant or quiet

My DMs are always open to for anyone who’d like to chat

(This thread might be news to a lot of people, especially old friends.)

I’d just like to reassure you all that I’m honestly doing awesome these days, and I hope everyone reading this has a super day!
