A bright future...

It's been a few days since the last post, the response has still been overwhelming and I'm still getting messages regularly with stories of peoples own experiences with Mental Health issues, care and how they've overcome these issues.

In light of the feedback I've had, I've decided to expand a little. My initial aim was just to have a blog to share my story and hopefully give others the confidence to speak about their stories too.

With this in mind, I've made the decision to open the blog up to others. I've already spoken to a few people who wish to share their stories and will do so in the coming weeks. I've also decided to go even bigger...

Im in the process of writing a business plan to launch a social enterprise with a focus on creating a different way of coping with poor mental health... it won't be there to replace traditional methods such as CBT and Counselling but will perhaps bridge the gap and help people to make positive lifestyle choices, particularly with waiting times increasing for access to NHS mental health services.

The next blog, which should be up tonight will be another facet of my story, but this time through my 15 year old eyes.
