Introduction!!

HI!!


My names Leah, I'm 16 years old and from the North East of England.


I first created my blog in the beginning of 2016, however, this year has been completely crazy and unfortunately i did not have enough time to continue with my posts. But as we are coming to the end of 2016, and i have a lot more time on my hands, i thought it would be a good idea to come back and restart blogging! 


I would probably say I'm a quite a girly girl who loves seeing friends, going out shopping and spending an endless amount of money on clothes and makeup! I love shops such as Forver 21, Victoria Secret, Zara and of course Topshop! 


Im creating this blog to raise awareness of Mental Health and to try and reduce the on-going stigma towards Mental illness. I have battled various Mental Health illnesses since a very young age and seen firsthand the strain the NHS is under... Since ive been with numerous specialised services, missing out on two of the most important school years and being admitted into a psychiatric ward on my 16th birthday, i am now wanting to pursue a career in Mental Health and become a nurse for adolescents. I also think that if you personally have experienced an illness, you have much more  insight and knowledge into relating,understanding and supporting others who may also be having similar experiences... 


Thank you for reading i hope all is well,

Leah x
