Today is a day that is so important to my heart! It's World Mental Health day. I have struggled a majority of my life with depression and anxiety and body dysmorphia. Fitness and working out became more of an outlet to help with all of these problems going on in my life! It is so important that we don't keep our mental health a secret there are so many ways of not feeling alone! Have a blessed day and remember you're not alone.

    Aww, thank you for making such a nice post! I've also struggled with anxiety and depression most my life, in addition to relatively recent body image issues, so this post is well appreciated!

    So happy to see a post like this today. I've struggled with depression and anxiety since I was little, followed by self harm and addiction. Awareness is all it takes to start healing, so little gestures like this mean the world. <3

    I donated towards a mental health charity today at work.

    Both of my parents work in mental health, so I've been around it in a sense my whole life

    I've also encountered friends and family with mental health problems down the years

    It's great that it is becoming a topic which is more openly discussed these days, for so long people were embarrassed to discuss their issues. It seems this is slowly improving

    Well done for finding an outlet! :)

    I'm sure you'll be great, especially since you've faced certain issues yourself :)

    100% support this, as a guy with a brother facing a life of schizophrenia.. it's meant me walking into crackhouses and pulling him out as he self medicated.. and tries to escape from his broken reality.
