Why start a blog

As a lifelong advocate for mental health, I wanted to create an online space where I can share my perspective and contribute to the normalization and education about mental health. If the content on this blog helps just one person feel less alone in what they experience, or helps one person understand mental illness a little bit better, than it has served it’s purpose.

My experience

I myself have experienced mental illness for as long as I can remember. Without going in to details, I face constant battles with anxiety. I do want to make one thing clear from the beginning — I’m not a doctor, nor a mental health professional. I’m just a person who has experienced mental illness and that’s the only angle I can write from. The content on this blog is based on my own experience, leanings, and thoughts. These posts are not a replacement for seeking help if you need it. If you or someone you know needs help please visit the resources page to find mental health professional who can help.
