Alzheimer's society is a huge part of mine and Ashs lives. We've both lost family members to Dementia. My Grampa died in 2018 after 10 years, it shattered the family, helping from 8 hours away, countless care homes, his partner traveling 50 miles each way on bus to see him everyday.

Its World Mental Health day
So I wanted to share my own story to hopefully let you feel less alone
world mental health day title photo of Lily from Lilyonthepad looking at the camera, long pink hair with full fringe. wedding dress with flowers on and crocheted flowers text reads World mental health day Its world mental health day so I wanted to share my story as I think its important to share our stories as I know many of you will relate and hopefully feel less alone. If you don't know who I am, I'm Lily the illustrator and business owner of Lilyonthepad. I got diagnosed with Autism at 7 years old and have had severe anxiety since a young child. I'm also a wife, friend, auntie and so much more. I'm a very out going colourful person and I am very happy. My mental health still effects me everyday. I take 200mg sertraline which for those who don't know is a high amount, without it I wouldn't be able to leave my house. I struggle with 9 to 5 jobs due to needing time off due to my mental health. I forever worry about how people view me. text reads World mental health day This time last year I was having panic attacks daily, Life goes like this living with mental health issues. You'll have times were life is really tough, you'll have times were you have good days and bad. there'll be times were life is wonderful. My best advice is live as your true self, people will judge you whether you try to fit into the mould society wants you to be or not, so be who you are. Have people around you who love and will look out for you. I was spiked once and I later found out my 'friend' told everyone to just leave me to get home alone, THAT IS NOT A FRIEND. You deserve people who care and love you, those people will light up your life. Meeting these people isn't easy but ways that have worked for me are joining discords with similar likes, making friends through Twitch and joining classes and clubs in person. The rainbow will come after the storm, Love Lily xox world mental health day title photo of Lily from Lilyonthepad around the age of 10, natural blonde hair holding and petting a cockatoo
