I feel that I am qualified to have written this piece due to the poems' specific content on mental ill health, and my first-hand experience from suffering with my own mental health issues. I have been ill for many years. I have been in-patient in general psychiatric hospitals through ten admissions. I have been admitted to different eating disorder units three times also. However, despite all these hospital stays, I have managed to achieve 10 A-C GCSEs, a BTEC National Diploma in Performing Arts, French Level 1 and British Sign Language Level 1 and Intermediate level.
I am determined and a survivor as I have come from the brink of 4 stone 13 lbs (69lbs) up to a healthy weight for my height. I could have died from my illnesses but I am still here for a purpose and I believe that I might be able to help others out there feel less alone in their different mental health conditions. I am by no means recovered, but I have made a lot of progress towards getting better.
I live in Essex with my fiancé and my 11 pet gerbils. I hope to carry on writing and studying British Sign Language and to one day obtain an employment role in a caring profession.ver menos
