Mental Health Awareness

 I have suffered severely (for me as I am usually happy go lucky) with depression and anxiety in the last year having had it diagnosed after not understanding my issues properly for a few years before that. I have found that being open about my own personal feelings and issues has been therapeutic for me to release them, but more importantly it has actually helped a lot of my friends realise that they are not alone and that it is ok to not be ok.

Mental illness effects everybody differently and for different reasons. Having low self confidence for all of my life I was encouraged to do modelling to help give me a boost after my diagnosis and being unable to work fulltime. I have covered varied fun shoots so far as you can see from my portfolio, so this is much darker and personal expression of my feelings, character, actions and thoughts that have been part of my daily life during this difficult period.
