Bio
Hi!
I'm Kerry and I'm 22. I have struggled with complex mental health disorders for 10+ years and spent most of my adolescence in various psychiatric hospitals. It's been just over 5 years since I was discharged and I am now following my dreams by working in a medium secure forensic mental health hospital, and also at a general hospital. I am due to start university in September 2019 to study towards two masters degrees in paediatric nursing and mental health nursing. It may be ironic or even strange that I would put myself back in the environment that I fought for 4 years to escape! But I have learned so much and have been truly inspired by the nurses that cared for me and saved my life. I aspire to do the same... change lives, save lives and make a difference - as cheesy as that sounds.
Currently I am experiencing quite a severe relapse, and am struggling with an unhealthy relationship that is very damaging to me. The reason I have signed up on 7 cups is because due to this relationship and other contributing factors, I have suddenly realised that I am completely and totally isolated from every single person around me, and there really is no one I can turn to.
I'm big into self-help and love to write and write and write! I play guitar and sing semi-professionally, which has always been a massive coping strategy.
I'm not sure what to expect from this, but I really hope to meet some amazing people that I know are out there! I'm not a listener, but will offer unconditional support and friendship to anyone in need, and would like to thank in advance anyone that is kind enough to do the same for me. :)
