National 3 Peaks 24h Challenge - Mental Health

I am fundraising to raise money to set up my own mental health platform called Your Head In Mind which will include a podcast, online forum and social media pages. There is so much misinformation surrounding mental health which I aim to remedy with science backed research and tips. I also have recently attended Andy's Man Club which I think is an amazing idea for in person support.

Below is my passion for setting up this project and fundraiser:

April 28th marked a profound turning point in my life. I've always felt like I didn’t quite fit in, grappling with a constant sense of unease. That day, my life took an unexpected and frightening turn—I experienced a severe panic attack accompanied by hallucinations and delusions, which landed me in the hospital.

The experience in the hospital was deeply disheartening. It wasn’t about the care provided by the dedicated staff, but rather the glaring issue of chronic underfunding and mismanagement within the NHS that left me feeling unsupported. This isn't a critique of the individuals who work tirelessly in a strained system, but a reflection on the broader challenges faced by mental health services.

With this newfound inspiration, I’m determined to create a mental health Instagram page dedicated to sharing insights, facts, and support. This platform will also feature a forum for open discussions, where individuals can come together to talk about their mental health journeys without fear of judgment.

To bring this vision to life, I need your help. Your support will enable me to fund the development of this platform, ensuring it reaches those who need it most. Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in creating a space where people can find understanding, connection, and hope.

Please consider donating to this cause and sharing this message. Together, we can turn my experience into a beacon of hope and support for others navigating their own mental health challenges. Thank you for your courage, your empathy, and your support.
