I am the founder of And Breathe Mental Health. I use my lived experience of struggling with General Anxiety Dissorder, Panic, and Depression to help others to manage their mental fitness. In 2016 I had a mental breakdown at work which turned my life upside down, and I've literally had to start from scratch. I've also battle alcohol addiction as I tried to self-medicate with alcohol.
I have created an online programme called The 12 Pillars of Mental Fitness, which covers 12 areas that everyone should understand and work on in order to manage and improve their mental fitness. My programme was born from doing a lot of my own research because I had a lot of questions; why had it happened, how had it happened, and how do I fix it?&nbsp;&nbsp;
I've learnt that there are no quick fixes where mental health is concerned, and the 'one-size-fits-all' approach only helps a small amount of people. The work I do is for anyone, wether you are struggling with your mental health, or if you simply want to be proactive. What I have to share will be beneficial to everyone who is running their own business; improved mental fitness means that you will find it easier to deal with stress, feel more energised, improve your eating habits, boost your mood, improve how you communicate with others, make you more creative, open to new opportunities, and even benefit your physical health.
While I'm not a doctor, counsellor, psychologist, or scientist, a lot of what I share is based on scientific evidence. Some may be viewed as a bit Woo Woo, however I have learned that to really improve your mental fitness you need to have an open mind and be willing to try different things. I sahre some basic neuroscience which helps you to understand conditions like anxiety and depression, and also how different treatments and therapies work.
I am also a media volunteer, lived experience advisor, and fundraiser for the mental health charity Mind.&nbsp;&nbsp;
I created my 'Adventures of an Anxious Mind' which involves running, lots of running. I set myself challenges that push me out of my comfort zone whilst raising awareness of mental health and much needed funds for Mind.&nbsp;
