Do you find your mind overwhelmed, sometimes, with anxiety, depression, cruel or self-deprecating thoughts and words? Or perhaps a treacle-thick darkness, threatening to overwhelm you?

Well, I do. And if you do, too, know this:

you're not alone.

​

This is a blog to talk about that darkness. I love to personify things - everything, ever. So it makes sense to me to personify the Darkness, and all its vicious and gurgling voices. Because that cold and painful mental landscape...

​

there's so much more to us than that.

​

It's easy, in a broken mental state, to forget that we are worthy
of love and goodness - and offering ourselves those things, as well as
accepting it from others.

 
By personifying our mental health issues, we are presented with a unique opportunity: to show love, patience and kindness to these monsters; 
to nurture these things. They are a part of us.

We can actually get along with them.

So, come and take a look at the Monsters with me.
We'll learn what they are, and what we can do
to tame, train and engage them.
How to get along with voices of unreason.
How to draw strengths from a well that's long been empty.

​

However!

I am NOT a doctor.

This blog will not magically fix the broken.

But,  I am hoping it will help. I believe that if I share my experiences, insights
and ongoing research, it will help people see that they aren't as isolated, as alone, as their own experiences and personal Monsters make them feel.

Here,
I dip my digital toes
in the proverbial pools of
spiritual wisdom, health and wellbeing.

I hope to create and provide a place where
people who suffer this way can find content they relate to,
and help to reframe the judgement we face, and the shame that we carry
in our hearts - that the Monsters like
to use against us. 

This is a place where realness and rawness come to thrive,
and stigma comes to die.

​

Being out of your mind
with a head full of monsters...

It's hard, but, I'm here to tell you:

it's going to be ok.
