Vegan food, travel and lifestyle
The COVID-19 pandemic has thrown us – without warning – into a strange new world. With many of us now in various states of lockdown or quarantine – an extreme shift in how we live our day-to-day lives – we need to remember that mental health is just as important as physical health.
This week (13th-19th May) was Mental Health Awareness Week in the UK. I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression a few years ago, so it’s a cause very close to my heart. Along with the likes of Prince William, Stephen Fry and Nadiya Hussain, I wanted to get involved somehow.
Well, this isn’t going to be an easy post to write. But as it’s World Mental Health Day, it feels like the right time. Only recently have I opened up my blog to people outside my immediate family and a few friends. Now I’m writing the most personal post I’ve ever written. Crap.
