Introducing me 🩷

Hi! I’m Leah, and I’m 24! I touched on all of this in my bio on my page, but it’s really important to me so I want to tell you all!! I started doing perler beads as an activity in the mental hospital in 2023, and fell in love with them. As soon as I got out, I told my hubby about them and we went to the store and I got some beads and all the supplies and I’ve been making things ever since! There was a time when I was going to the hospital once or twice every single year for my mental health. I have been at the lowest of lows, and felt the weight of the world on my shoulders very heavy. But, I haven’t been to the mental hospital in 2 years now!! I’m not saying perler beads saved me, because there are lots of things that contributed to where I’m at now, but they have become my most gone to coping skill. Not just a coping skill though, but a hobby. It literally brings me joy to make something with my beads! Mental health is such a journey, and if anyone is struggling, you’re not alone! I still struggle everyday but I’m getting better and better. I’m here for any and all who need to talk ❤️
