I'd like for you all to see my new tattoo, courtesy of Nicky @ Electric Buddha Tattoo. This tattoo was my favourite of a set of flash designs, being tattooed to raise money for Mind, the mental health charity. Congratulations to Electric Buddha whose bake sale and tattoo bonanza managed to raise over £2000!
Mental health is something that affects everybody so I do believe that we should talk about it. It's so easily brushed aside and called something else - such as 'growing up', or 'being moody' and unfortunately it suffers from a stigma which seems to stop people from talking about it.
Don't be ashamed, just talk about it. People have an easy time talking about 'that girl' or 'that guy', the latest episode of that soap opera or that reality TV show. I wish people would talk about something that actually makes a difference and realise that we're all the same and that we all need help sometimes.
