My mental health is incredibly challenging right now, but I’m determined not to let it win! Instead I’m talking to professionals, taking my meds and getting out for lots of walks - I WILL get better 💪🏻
In 2021, I got sectioned. In 2022 and 2023, I had involuntary stays in hospital. I genuinely thought I’d never get better…

Turns out, I was wrong, and today I’m celebrating spending the whole of 2024 hospital-free! 🎉
When I was on the psych ward, a mental health charity helped to save my life.

Today I’m celebrating the fact that, since then, I’ve now officially raised over £50,000 for them! 😃
My marathon fundraiser is currently at £3,780 which is amazing! I’d love to get to £4000 if possible. If you can spare a couple of quid, or share it, it’d be massively appreciated! www.justgiving.com/page/charlie...

After being off work cos of my mental health for over a year, I had an interview for my dream job, and I’m delighted to say I’ve been offered the position!! 😃
Thank you! It really does 😊
Ooh amazing! I think mine may be used for a similar purpose!! Can’t wait to check out some new parkruns 😊
Exciting news…. After not being able to drive for over two years cause of my mental health, today I finally got my licence back!! 😃
