Mental Health...


Nothing painting related in this post, I'm afraid.  However, it felt important to highlight that today is World Mental Health day.  Sufferers of mental illness often find it difficult to explain to others how it feels, and it can seem that outwardly there's nothing wrong with them.  It's a horrible, crappy set of illnesses that wipes you out and screws with your mind, and it hurts the people around you as well.  It smashes your confidence and self belief and stops you functioning as a regular human being.  

So today, spare a thought for those who are struggling, and if you know someone who is suffering, give them a big grin, or a high five, or a hug and let them know you care.  Remember...
