Connor is a 19 years old; my name is Connor, and I am currently studying football coaching at St Marys University. I have suffered with Mental health from the age around 16/17 till now. I suffered with selfharming, depression and more. I have been to therapy for those things. I am working alongside Chelsea Fc health and wellbeing side doing fitness sessions and doing the warm ups and cool downs getting to see how the older generation are coping with lockdown and how they are coping mentally. I love to keep fit and exercising because its important to keep your mind healthy as much as your body, the thing I love doing the most is just listening to music and writing down my thoughts as music can really bring out my deepest thoughts, I did not know I had. If you are struggling like me, the best thing to do is step back understand your needs. I am currently reading a book called understanding the human mind by Jason Browne to help me understand myself better and why us humans think the way we do sometimes. Never let anyone tell you, you cannot do something no matter what set yourself a goal and go for it.
