About My Challenge
I'm completing 3,214 sit-ups in 23 days (can’t do push-ups due to shoulder reconstruction implications) to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia. This cause is very close to my heart for many reasons! In my early years I felt a lot of loneliness/wanting to fill a void and not sure where I fit in (undiagnosed ADHD). I’ve had years where life was good, great too at times, then I had over 10+ years of being in a world of pain. I suffered crippling anxiety, struggled to leave the house without dry heaving, became numb with depression and started to experience suicidal thoughts. I think the scary part to mental illness which I learned throughout my life is my smile, my laugh often showcases to the world that I am ok. I think a lot more work is needed in this space as mental illness isn’t a choice. It has taken me 7-8 years of therapy to get to where I am today where I have the tools, support network, therapist to call on when I start to spiral. Do I have it under control 100% of the time, absolutely not, life doesn’t work like that. But, do I feel equipped to fight it when it comes on, absolutely!
Let’s come together as one, lets help bring awareness that you can manage mental illness with ADHD! You can show your support by making a tax-deductible donation to my page.
Every dollar helps #pushforbetter mental health outcomes in Australia by
funding much-needed mental health services and initiatives.
