I have suffered with depression, anxiety and ptsd for a long time. I try to be honest about my mental health but even when I wasn’t as forthcoming, I really enjoyed doing what I could to help other people with their struggles, whether it was just being a shoulder to cry on, buying their favourite food for them or doing something nice to make them smile.
I haven’t been able to do much of that other than sending boxes of brownies and other goodies during lockdown and I just really wanted to do something nice for someone.
So, I bought some bows from @wildemode and am going to give a couple away, hopefully it’ll cheer someone up and make them smile.
If you are interested or want to help spread the word, or even just leave a message of love and support, please go to the post on my Instagram and follow the instructions below.
Please like and save this post, and leave a comment about why mental health is important to you, you could share a tip you’d recommend for someone who’s struggling, or even just a message of love with the number of the bow you’d most like to win.
Any of the comment options will count, it doesn’t have to be all three. It also doesn’t have to be war and peace but sharing some kindness can make all the difference when someone is feeling alone or unloved.
Winner will be chosen at random Friday 18th June at 6pm. UK residents only sorry!

Thank you. I just wanted to something nice but weirdly my anxiety has been through the roof since I posted as I’m worried no one will take part or people will think I’m trying to scam them 😕

Wow this is very kind of you! I didn’t see a link to your Insta, maybe my adhd jumped too fast through the post, if so, I’m sorry about that. 😊 I cannot participate since I’m from the Netherlands, but I would like to share what mental health means to me. I often try to write about it on my own site, as I have my demons and struggles… Hopefully you’ll be able to make someone very happy with those lovely bows!

Thank you for the link, guess I was being too lazy 🙄 I followed your Insta and wrote a message beneath your giveaway. Hopefully it may help someone out there. 😊
