Bella鈥檚 story is about caring for a parent with a mental illness.
Bella鈥檚 mum has suffered from mental health issues for most of Bella鈥檚 life, and in recent years diagnosed as bipolar - a condition in which the person experiences extreme highs and the lowest of lows.
Bella鈥檚 role in her mum鈥檚 life has seen her shoulder many responsibilities and become someone whom her mum has really depended on, at times as a matter of life or death, and often leaving Bella wondering if she would ever be able to go to university and start to live her own life.
After making the decision to not only care for her mum but embark on her own life journey, Bella wants to share her experience as a young carer of someone with a mental illness and highlight the lack of support for young people like her and the impact of this.
