A Co Antrim woman has spoken about being able to rebuild her life after hitting rock bottom eight years ago.
Paula Douglas, 35, from Ballymena, said she felt "completely helpless, vulnerable and disconnected with everything" when her mental health hit a low point in October 2014.
Weighing just six stone at this stage, she felt overwhelmed by anxiety, unable to eat or sleep, and told herself her family and friends would be better off without her.
