ABOUT ME

I am a 20 year old student blogger and freelance writer with a passion for mental health issues. This interest has been compounded by my own personal experiences and major life events that have been severely impacted by my mental health disorders. From depression, hypomania and psychosis to anorexia, bulimia and compulsive over-eating, I have a complex and emotional relationship with my body, behaviour and cognition. On some level this still continues to shackle me, although I am slowly getting to grips with coping strategies to keep the black dog at bay.

Depression is an exhausting emotional battle- often intransigent by nature- but my hope for this blog is to make a candid, honest and open space where the complexities of mental health issues are freed from their stigma, and for other sufferers to realise that they are not alone.
