Q&A

Erik W

Do you invest the same amount of time into your mental health, as you do into your physical health or career?

Honestly, I don't really think I invest time in my health at all. There is very little understanding of the mental health issues that I face and very few trained professionals to deal with the issues myself and others face. On top of this I have physical health issues, but again due to the fact I am not comfortable around people that are not known to me, and very rarely use telephones, also the high cost of transport I am unable to attend most hospital appointments and don't even bother to try to make a doctors appointment unless is is a absolute emergency.
