Dear Diary, 31/7/2014

Today at school a headspace representative came in to discuss mental health to our year level. I felt really awkward because well I have a mental illness and I guess I feel guilty I haven’t spoken up. It’s really inspiring to hear how other people around my age overcome their problems and how they seemed help and got support from family and friends.

I admit I do try to tell my friends and family but I just can’t because each time I'm about to tell them about it their always talking about happy things and laughing. I guess I don’t want to dampen their mood.

Bye for now Charley.
