This is one of my harder blog posts to write, because though I talk - a lot - about the impact my mental health has on my day to day life, and has done for a while, I'm pretty sure that this is the bit no one really understands, causes the most...misunderstanding and I hope, because I wouldn't wish it on anyone, they can't relate to.
