Normal is as normal does - right? Well, my version of normal seemed to be quite unique. Compared to friends I'd always be the one with the hilarious stories. My friends would flock to hear them, tall tales about my misadventures and awkward encounters with men.
However, at university, these shenanigans began to take their toll. Euphoric highs and dramatic lows were exhausting and had nearly taken my life.
I'm sharing some of these stories which will definitely make you laugh out loud as well as cringe so you can better appreciate that mental health (good or not so good) is normal.
Hold on in there - things do get better.
About the author
Natasha Brook is a quirky, enigmatic and spontaneous woman, who just happens to be described more often than not as a wife, a mum, a daughter, a friend and an employee. Natasha holds down a full-time job and has built a career in the commercial world as a world class business developer. When she's not developing multi-million pound pan global deals she's quiet and rather a laid-back individual.
Having battled mental health all her life she's achieved some pretty amazing things. She's got two degrees, been on the UK's best loved Quiz Show, adopted a child and a dog and kept intact her marriage for over 20 years. Her friends think she's flamboyant, eccentric and a bit weird - but there's always fun to be had when Natasha is around.
