Mind Charity

Hello, my name is Megan Gore.

Since May is mental health awareness month I have decided to participate in a charity sky dive for 'Mind'. This will be on the 6th July 2025

About 6 years ago, i was diagnosed with anxiety disorder which affected my lifestyle and confidence massively. I had to deal with this disorder throughout highschool and my life. About 3 years ago i was also diagnosed with depression, depression is something i have always been extremely passionate and sympethic about, it took me alot to come forward and ask for help. I went through a really hard period of time last year, i felt like i was in a dark hole and could not get out, i felt like i had no one and felt like life was worth living at times. I decided enough was enough, i seeked help from family, peers and medical professionals. I am now on medication which helps balance my happiness, i do have days where my depression takes over however i have carried on with life and i am even due to graduate university with a law degree whilst battling with this illness and i even take part in dance classes which has massively helped my mental health.

Depression is not a light topic and alot of people suffer in silence, i am wanting to change this stigma on depression and this label and prove that it is okay to have this illness and there is support and help out there.

NO ONE should deal with this alone.
