How long have you had mental health issues for? So I got my first diagnosis when I was 14 and 15ish, I want to say But I've struggled with low mood and food issues a lot longer I got diagnosed with meeting disorder at age 14 and things have just been... Like it probably was there before it just wasn't diagnosed Anyone who has followed me since then? Hi, that's a while Back then I was diagnosed with bipolar I went inpatient onto an intensive care unit for children and I was diagnosed with bipolar initially and that changed to borderline personality disorder like it changed when I was 18, 19 I can't remember the exact age, I think I was 18 then So it's been like, it's definitely been lifelong I self-harm from a young age and because you don't know self-harm is a sign of mental illness Question four. Do your friends and family know? Yes. My family know because of the inpatient and because of how I used to live with them Number five. Does this affect your ability to work and study? So to work? Yes I get the shit I have a sick note, it's now expired but my GP is always like, if you want one, write one, let me know I'm not looking to work, I'm advised against working especially when I'm on medication, I'm on... I do study, I study film production Number six. What makes you feel calm? So I have a mental health crisis box I also sell these on Amazon, not Amazon I wish it was a lot on Amazon I sell these on Etsy and basically put loads of self soothing stuff in I like candles, it sounds weird I like watching the flame burn So I'll watch it, I'll just sit there watching a candle for hours on end Number seven.
