Mental Heath Tag! #TagTuesday

On my main blog, I do a tag every Tuesday and I found this one so I thought I would post it on this blog instead as it ties in more with the posts here.
I haven't been blogging too much, I will be writing an update post after this one, so that should have already been put up for you, so have a look.
Follow me on Google+ to make sure you don't miss any future posts.
Anyway, enough rambling... let's get on with it.

I found these questions via a YouTube Channel belonging to Emma Wicks so check her out here.



1. What are the main things that help you when struggling with your mental illness?
When I'm anxious, I always run a bath (if I can), it's the most relaxing thing ever. Pop your laptop on a stool next to the bath and catch up on a TV programme of your choice. I also catch up on weekly vlogs, which are my fav YouTube videos to watch. (Keep an eye out on my main blog for my top 10 YouTubers post which will be up in the next week)
2. What makes you happy no matter what?
Definitely spending time with my family, they are a crazy bunch and I know I can tell them anything. They definitely keep my feet firmly on the ground, unless I'm on the floor laughing, which in most cases I am.
3. If you could tell your younger self 1 thing what would it be?
I would tell her to speak up about the struggles I faced and not to bottle everything up like I did for 9 years.
4. If there was one message you want to share with the world what would it be?
The words "it's okay not to be okay" really do make me feel better. Because there is no shame in showing emotion, there's not a single person in the world who doesn't cry because we all do and we know it.
5. Do you feel struggling with certain mental problems has made you stronger as a person?

Definitely. I mean, it's hard to do the smallest of tasks, but you get to learn about yourself a bit more. I definitely am stronger than what I was before suffering with mental illness. Some days are hard but once you get through them, you'll be on the road to recovery!
