I, Taylor Jade, believe in taking the necessary steps to raise awareness of the early signs of mental illness. I want to help individuals to recognise the signs and to become more confident with talking openly about their mental health.
My aim is to use my own personal experiences with mental health issues to positively influence others.
Sharing my story and talking openly about my experience of suffering with mental illness has taught me that I am not alone. When you’re going through it, especially having never experienced these type of feelings before, it can be very overwhelming and lonely.
It is important to me for others to recognise the signs of mental illness earlier than I did so they can reach out for help before things begin to spiral. Asking for help is what saved me; if I did not ask for help then I may not have been here writing this today.
I look forward to continuing to share my story and helping others throughout their journey.
