By the Monday, she walked back onto site, slipped on her boots and got back to work. She didn’t tell a soul about her inner struggle. Armed with a brave face, she pretended to be fine - but on the inside, she couldn’t shake her feeling of abject loneliness. “I didn’t tell anyone. I couldn’t tell anyone.
” Outside the classroom and on the jobsite, Bardie says the “female barrier” could be very challenging. “Even being qualified, you just question yourself like, ‘Do I have a place here?’,” she says. “There were certainly people who didn’t like that I was there.” Mental health It was that feeling of loneliness that contributed to negative impacts on her mental health. “Since I was young I struggled with mental health, anxiety, depression,” she says.
