To commemorate World Mental Health Day on 10th October 2021 I’ve attempted to illustrate what it can feel like when life trips us up. For those of us that experience periods of poor mental health these trips could be something others may consider small and insignificant. Nonetheless they can have an enormous impact on us. Reopening us up to periods of anxiety and or depression.
Different people will experience things in different ways. This representation is quite personal, however based on from feedback from others, I’m not alone in feeling like this. None of us are alone even if we do experience things in quite different ways. Hopefully, this simple illustration helps you or someone you know understand and share what it feels like when life trips us up.
