From Victim to Fighter: Embracing Strength in Mental Health Challenges
Am I a victim, a survivor, or something more?
Living with mental illness often brings this question to the forefront. While it is true that enduring and persevering through mental health challenges makes you a survivor, it’s important to recognise that you are also a fighter.
If you’re still standing, facing each day despite the difficulties of mental illness, you’re not just surviving—you’re actively fighting. Embracing the label of survivor is completely valid, but I encourage you to also see yourself as someone who pushes through adversity.
Recovery does not happen passively; it requires effort, determination, and a refusal to accept the status quo. You may have been told you’re weak, less than, or hopeless, but the reality is that you are much more—you are a fighter.
Today, let’s explore what that means and how recognising your resilience can shape your journey.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
