\n Tiffany Turner, from Dailly, has launched The Pamper Project<\/a> on Facebook to help people facing difficult times feel supported, valued and less alone.\n<\/p>\n

\n The 31-year-old lives with borderline personality disorder and wanted to create a support network she felt was lacking during some of her darkest moments.\n<\/p>\n

\n Tiffany told the Advertiser: “I know how lonely life can feel when you are suffering from mental health. I have been through my fair share of GP appointments and mental health nurses.\n<\/p>\n

\n “Living with BPD is like having the dial turned up on your emotions all of the time. I was diagnosed when I was 18, but struggled with the symptoms since I was a teenager.\n<\/p>\n

\n “I have had a horrible past year with losing my mum in April, and I was struggling with grieving. My husband managed to get in touch with the crisis team at Ailsa Hospital and they really gave me the support that I didn’t think I had within the community.\n<\/p>\n

\n “Given how rural I live, I thought there must be other people who are experiencing the same as I did, but didn’t reach out for help or have that support available.\n<\/p>\n

\n “The time between appointments can be incredibly difficult. People are often left feeling hopeless, with very little support available, and that’s something that needs to change.”\n<\/p>\n

\n The online group, set up just a few weeks ago, encourages members to share self-care wishlists, offer words of encouragement and build connections in what Tiffany hopes will become a community rooted in compassion, understanding and friendship.\n<\/p>\n

\n Tiffany said: “I just want to help other people and remind them that nobody has to face a difficult time alone.\n<\/p>\n

\n “The thought that someone took the time out of their day to send a small gift from your Amazon wishlist or spread some positivity would really lift someone’s day.\n<\/p>\n

\n “Whether it has been a rough day at work to a life-changing diagnosis. It is also a chance to give people that safe space to let their emotions out without fear of judgment or prejudice.\n<\/p>\n

\n “It is giving people the opportunity to enjoy a small corner of positivity. I feel like there is a lack of empathy and compassion in the world right now, and I want to give that back.\n<\/p>\n

\n “Eventually, I would love to organise coffee mornings, group activities and small meet-ups so friendships and connections made through the group can thrive.\n<\/p>\n

\n However, Tiffany has one key message that for anyone who may be struggling and considering joining The Pamper Project<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

\n “It is a space where you can feel seen, heard and cared for”, she explained.\n<\/p>\n

\n “It doesn’t matter where you are in the world right now. You will be welcomed with open arms. If you need a chat, a little reassurance, a distraction, or just somewhere to get your worries off your chest, our little community is here for you.\n<\/p>\n

\n “If I can give people that little escape from their reality, then I will be happy with that.”\n<\/p>\n
