Lets Talk about Mental Health || Being Brave.
11:00 am
Hello Bloggerbeans,
When I think of being brave I associate the phrase with my childhood like the time when my Mum would tell me to be Brave as she held my hand for my injection jabs at the age of three or the time when I had to stay overnight and have an operation on my arm. I was told I had been very Brave about everything. For a long time I thought being brave was something heroic like Saving the world like a superhero or combating all evil when in truth being brave is just about the small achievements as it is about the big
We are all Brave in different ways, big and small. If you suffer from anxiety and attempt to go somewhere where you know might set your Anxiety off but do it anyway that is Brave!
If you are suffering in silence about something like bullying and you manage to tell someone then that is Brave!
If you are feeling upset/lost/depressed and you manage to pull yourself out of bed and go outside, that is also being brave!
Their are so many other examples of being brave and I bet you that you have done one brave thing last week and may have brushed it off as not important when that is far from the truth. Keep on going Bloggerbeans as it eventually gets better even if you don't think it will.

This post is so accurate, I recently suffered a severe panic attack which stretched across a few days, I felt paralysed and was fobbed off as being a "teenager" by a doctor since all these young girls "have anxiety". I feel like the younger generation are convincing themselves they have "mental health problems" because of their favourite bloggers/vloggers and people who are truly suffering are marginalised. :) lipstickandbathbombs
