Today is the World Mental Health day.
This image is me in 2009 when I was showing my humble little brand at the London Fashion Week. This image brings me sadness as it was a dark time in my life... despite the smile on my face.
I am no stranger to depression and crippling panic attacks. Both were my companions for the last 14 years. “You have a biochemical imbalance in your brain “ I was told by my GP. I pretty much tried all the drugs out there. Nothing worked, until I found Functional Medicine.

I found out that due to chronic stress, genetics and gut infections, my body was expressing itself with symptoms that were not only depression and anxiety. The list was long ranging from chronic pain, infections, mouth ulcers, constant GI symptoms, lethargy and pelvic pain.

It has taken me years to heal my mind and body.
If I don’t look after myself, a bout of anxiety is a reminder to slow down and look after myself.

I don’t see depression and anxiety as a weakness. It was a dark time in my life but it gave me direction and strength. It made me appreciate life, my family, friends and to take nothing for granted.
