Jessica Jayne

Name: Jessica Jayne
Age: 22
Year of the Fix: 2016
Location: Leyland, Lancashire
Campaign: To help others understand mental ill health

I live with several mental health conditions which I have struggled with since the age of four.

 

Although I feel like I am able to cope better with them now, I still sometimes feel like I am ‘failing’ if I have a particularly bad day.

 

Due to a lack of information about mental ill health, these ups and downs used to make me feel like I hadn’t been ‘fixed’.

 

I want young people to understand that having bad days is perfectly normal.

 

It’s okay not to be okay.
