The Trying 20's

Welcome to The Trying 20's...what a place to be! These are the 'in-between' years. The years where you don't know who, where or what you should be, or more importantly who you WANT to be. The Trying 20's is a collection of blog posts centering around the fragility of mental well-being as a 20 something and how society can shape us for better or for worse. Immediate mental health support can be found: SHOUT (text): 85258 Samaritan's (call): 116 123

Emma Shaw: Hello there, and welcome to my blog! Originally, this blog was created majorly for a university assignment, but I have decided to continue on with posting here and getting some of the most controversial and important topics out into the open. People often mention how difficult teen years are, how draining it is to get older, etc... but nobody seems to consider the 20's and how delicate our minds can be. We're constantly surrounded by other people doing other things and comparing ourselves to them, wondering who on Earth we are meant to be? On a personal level, I myself have battled anxiety and depression and more recently, symptoms of PTSD, something I am currently receiving help for. Whilst most of my symptoms first appeared when I was around 15, I have spent my life as a young adult still coming to terms with who I am and why my mental health makes me different. It is a slow process but I'm getting there and I want to be a part of the movement that makes that possible for other people too.
