Being sectioned for your mental health is (trust me) very rarely spoken about on mainstream Instagram pages we follow, let alone by models leading a what must look like very ideal existence. There were about 5 girls under 25 in the ward I was in in Ealing in 2018. We passed time using Instagram to show each other our families and friends. I love the idea that this article is an easy thing to DM a friend currently sectioned for their mental health. I understand the emotions you’re/they’re going through. Leaflets from nurses aren’t exactly an appealing read - I threw mine in the bin. If you feel homesick and frightened please hang in there. Being young and hearing you have something incurable “but manageable” was a lot to hear when I was 21 and unable to cope. I genuinely thought my adult life would be non stop episodes in and out of there. Take your meds, trust doctors, be honest with them (!) and take your health seriously. It can become second nature to manage Bi Polar - you have so much time to figure that out. I can’t speak on behalf of other mental illness’ but I hope some of this resonates with them too. 25% of people with Bi Polar 1 in the UK only have one psychotic episode in their life. My dad told me that fact very early on and it helped me a lot. @stripeandstare ‼️So grateful you’re letting me talk about this topic via your platform 🤯 First & best lingerie job ⚡️ Discount code to get involved ;) ——> ROSIE20 (For 20% off) #sexyunderwearandbipolar
