My reason why ❤️🩹
I’ve suffered badly with mental health - particularly anxiety, panic disorder and emetophobia (fear of being sick) since I was a teenager and I’ve been in some really dark places, one time being in 2017 when I was admitted into hospital and another one being just this year. I’ve had the worst year of my life, almost being admitted again, having back-to-back panic attacks, not eating, not being able to leave my house (sometimes not even being able to leave my bed), I couldn’t even have my partner in the same room as me at one point!!! I’ve had relationship/friendship breakdowns, isolated myself completely and absolutely lost myself this year.
Earlier this year (and for most of it) I was housebound, so I decided to distract myself and do something whilst being housebound and make little mental health e-books to raise awareness on mental health and help other people but I didn’t expect it to go anywhere. I was happy to even just help maybe one or two people… but here I am 140 sales and 5 star reviews later and I’ve actually helped people from these small little books I made when I was suffering myself. Almost all of my products are under £5, the cheapest being £1.49 and if you use etsy, you know the fees😅 so it’s not about the money for me, it’s about helping people and I couldn’t be happier with the reviews I’ve received and the help I’ve given! 🥹
I’ve expanded my products and now sell more than just the e-books, and all my products, I LOVE making! I am so passionate about mental health because I know first hand how much it can effect people’s lives and nobody should have to suffer alone.
Me and my boy now - I’m leaving my house, slowly getting better and starting to enjoy life again, whilst still trying to help others ❤️🩹
I sell mental health E-books, Journals, Worksheets, Colouring pages & am soon to launch my first ever psychical product! 👀
