June 2020 Struggling with mental

From The Editor
This Mental health issue comes at a vital time for
those who struggle with their mental health. But
we are here for you all. Reaching out can be the
hardest thing to do so instead we’re reaching out
to you, providing tips, advice and support during
lockdown. Let me invite you to share a toast to
how far we have come during lockdown so far.
Mental illness is always around us, whether we
know it or not.It affects children, adults, men and
women. We live in a society that makes it difficult
to live with a mental illness because of the sar-
castic use of it. How many times have you heard
someone say ‘I want to Kill myself’ just because
something didnt go their way or they’re having
a difficult day. This use of language is wrong and
should not be accepted and can be seen as a form
of immitation to people who suffer with depres-
sion. As well as this, it get’s used so much that
people don’t think anything of it anymore
so someone who is struggling with their mental
health might finally pluck up the courage to speak
out about the way they feel only for their friends
to respond with ‘oh yeh same, I can’t be arsed’.
This can’t be acceptable can it? It’s important to
talk about mental health so that people who dont
suffer understand how serious it is. Our edition
today is to reach out to those who suffer because
that’s what’s also important, helping those who
feel helpless. But also, to those who don’t know
much about mental health this is just as impor-
tant because this is astrong subject that everyone
