A Grey Area
Mental health is not always as simple as 'I feel like this so I'll do this and all those feelings will go away.' For me mental health falls into a 'Grey area'. What I mean by this is that I can name how I feel, I can easily say I feel sad or I feel anxious but I can't always work out why I feel that way or make sense of the feeling itself. Sometimes there is no reason as to why we feel how we feel and one of the things that many people ask is 'What triggered this.' So I sort of look back through everything that happened that day, that hour, that week and then I come to realize that actually there was no trigger at all. And that for me is the most confusing thing. You start to think why do I feel like this, how can I stop it without actually knowing what caused this feeling. But sometimes we don't need to know what caused it to overcome it. It's never black and white it's confusing and
