My Updates

What i have noticed so far..

3-4 months ago (even longer really) I was a mess, anxiety and depression at its all time lowest. I felt overwhelmed all the time and felt like I couldn’t get out of it.. crying to my husband all the time. Even though I was studying I didn’t feel like I was achieving anything and felt lost.. I have noticed that running has been helping with that… (surprisingly) I have tried all these other things like breathing techniques and trying to think positive etc and I felt like I was still left feeling overwhelmed, anxious and depressed. Now I have signed up for netball and I have my first netball game. My mindset has slightly changed and my thinking has too, not saying to run… it will fix everything! Because what works for me might not work for you. But I just had a “step back” moment and realised… this is the first time in a very very long time that I feel like I can breathe again. I still have a very long way to go mentally but I will get there and this running era has added a little positivity to my life. just remember if you need help, please talk to a loved one, friend or seek professional help🤍

October 1st run!!

Today I did my 1st run and in the rain! also seen some little duckys on the run which gave me a little boost!🥺😂♥️

Why i’m running for one step forward

I decided to take part in One Step Forward because mental health is something that is really important to me. I have personally experienced depression and suicidal thoughts (and still do), so I know how hard things can feel when you’re struggling. I know that sometimes it can be really difficult to reach out for help. I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to get help and most importantly to have the chance to tell their story and be heard. Mental health isn’t a one size fits all thing. I think it’s important that people have access to different types of support and don’t feel like they have to go through things alone. That’s why I wanted to do One Step Forward. I want to raise money to help people who are struggling with their mental health and hopefully make it a little easier for someone to get the support they need. I appreciate all the love and support I’ve been receiving♥️ xx
