No one realised the extent of my depression and PTSD. I was an expert at hiding the pain behind a smile or a laugh. No one knew of the panic attacks that hit me when I had to talk to a stranger, no one knew of the awful dark thoughts of suicide that overtook me regularly, they didnt see the long nights of insomnia where my brain spun in circles. My weight was a symptom of all that. Now that I am on the otherside of this I refuse to be ashamed of my struggle, I will not give in to the stigma attached to mental illness. It was only part of my story but without it I would not have discovered my strengths. If my story can show one other person that there is a way forward than it is totally worth it.
