Just some honest talk on here tonight.
We loose so many young people to mental health. I hope that by sharing my story in a professional setting can help a few of you here tonight.
In 2011 I almost lost my life I was struggling & I went to a friends party and was hospitalised after having a traumatic episode linked to PTSD that I suffered in 2000 when as an 8 year old I witnessed a fatal accident that killed my classmate.
I was badly injured in an accident. This led to me spending a number of days in hospital.
Throughout the years I wear my mental health and trauma as something that can never be cured but by understanding and learning more about how to live with this weight I have been able to achieve incredible things. Yet I still have the feeling that it’s never enough.
So today I share this with you that you grow & know you’re loved and today’s purpose is to inspire connect and discover and sometimes that discovery is within so you can learn to love others who need it. #mentalhealth #trauma #people
I have purpose in packing a box of things for people I don’t know for communities I love that I have never been too. For people I inspire who I haven’t met yet. This had become therapy for me i am not perfect and i don't attempt to be but i am human before all else.
Whilst i am on a journey to become a father that I never had & to be a better friend husband brother and son.
We must support Blak men and women not just for today but for tomorrow. Don't suffer in silence
