Let's talk about mental health with Charlene McElhinney.

I find it so difficult to open up and speak to people about my mental health. I write about it frequently on my blog however I do not openly talk about it: I found this extremely difficult and I was very nervous.
It would mean the world to me if you could watch this, give it a share and maybe drop me a wee comment. Even just saying hello.
It is a lengthy video, the words seemed to just come pouring out of my mouth and I couldn't stop once I'd got started. Grab yourself a cuppa and get comfy whilst you give this a watch.

    I'm so proud of you for speaking about this. It's very brave of you 💕 I wish I could give you a big hug, you are such a lovely girl and I can relate with how hard it is when you're on a downer. Just remember you're making steps to help yourself. You're seeing your doctor, trying meds and whilst you may need to tweak them it's still a step in the right direction. Always here if you need someone to talk to sweetie xx

    Hi Charlene:) i just wanted to write this as I have a lot of health issues and childhood trauma and through this I get depressed and I have become quite isolated !!!when I spoke to my family and friends of many years (finally)about some off these issues especially the childhood trauma ones they kind of as we say in Scotland dropped like flies one after the other and looked at me with pity for the last few times we had contact :((I now have none left they don't txt they don't call it's really heartbreaking as I thought they were true friends two of them were over 10 yrs best friends u know see each other all time txt ev day go on hol in my better years etc but my health has deteriorated so much over the years I understand the no longer asking me on nights out etc but to just abandon me when it took so much for me to speak about the childhood one esp it's really affected me mentally,and your video has really given me strength and courage to not stop talking about how I feel or the things I've been through luckily my husband is always there to listen even if he's not the best at feelings or talking back?!:))!and know the people you have around you although maybe they're not the best at talking with you about or noticing the change in you when your down they've stuck by you throughout and that's all you need in the end ,and I'm so glad you have that in your life :))I hope you know your courage shines oot I yi,n it rubs of as well!!!!!! so thankyou for that! Keep your chin up and don't ever let anyone dictate your mood !!I'm trying this phrase out to in my own life to so fngs xd dolly:)))x

    I'm honestly so sorry that you're going through all of this but please know you're not on your own. It makes me feel good that you are able to take some comfort from this video & that it has helped you in some way - it makes everything I do worthwhile. Thank you for sharing so much with me and for connecting with me - and taking the time to watch this video. Anything I can do to help dear!! Xxxx

    I watched this and barely breathed the whole time and then had to remind myself! Well done you for posting this. People always say it helps to talk but they don't realise how difficult that is. I'm trying but sometimes I just can't. Good on you for putting it all out there x

    I'm so proud of you for making this video, Charlene. You may not think it, but you really have come in leaps, and bounds since we first started talking a couple of months ago. It's amazing that you have been able to talk about your feelings to so many people on the Internet, and I think that's an incredibly huge achievement. Even though there's almost 5 years between us, you know I will always be here to listen, and offer whatever support I can. I love you, big sissy. Mwah mwah

    I'm sorry to hear you've been feeling so low darling. It's very brave of you to talk so candidly about how you're feeling, and I (as well as loads more people) respect you for that. I hope your GP appointment went well and that you managed to come up with a new solution. I don't want to patronise you in any way, but I know that the college is also able to offer support if you were ever thinking of going back down that route (although I have heard that they can take a little while to set things up - so my own lecturer told me!) Also I know that we don't know each other that well, but if you ever want to talk or even just go for a wander round the shops to take your mind off things one day, you know where I am

    Well Done Charlene! You're wee granny McElhinney was right, it's just pure jealousy! They find the smallest thing and make it massive to try bring someone down! They are just pathetic! I've sent the link to a few people who feel the same way and hoping just listening to someone speak about it, it might help them ❤

    I'm so glad you've opened up about this on your channel too! May I ask what type of therapy you went through with the psychologist? I study psychology so find people's experiences and posts so interesting. It's great that you're raising awareness for it. I've only just realised that this was posted in October, hopefully it's been a bit better since then xxx

    Really proud of you Charlene, you're doing such a brave thing by talking about this! You are very strong for reaching out for help to your GP and others, so many people don't have the courage to do so! ❤️❤️❤️ You are helping yourself by talking and you helping other people in the same position who feel like they are alone! Don't let any haters in your life bring you down, rise above their pathetic jabs at you! You are stronger than them, your grandma was right- they're just jealous of you! I'm always here for you ✨ Abbey 👑 www.abbeylouisarose.co.uk
