Spotlighting mental health issues
I started this site to share my personal journey of understanding myself, my struggles with depression, anxiety, compulsion, addiction. I feel this is part of my process of opening up for the first time in my life. I hope this helps you to see we are not unique in struggle, also that we can be an ally for those around us. We must better highlight, understand and act on this critical issue. Mental entropy is a force we must defeat together.

Mental health illness is long referred to as a Cinderella disease – a strong man doesn’t ask for help is our past generation speaking, they say pull up your boot straps and march on. But today we have to think differently to act differently and reap different outcomes – consider that not everyone has the flexibility to touch their toes, or maybe their hands are already full from carrying a heavy load. No matter the reason, we should work to recognize and then take action to pull each other’s boot straps up and lock arms before we think of moving on. And move forward together.
Mental health illness is no Cinderella disease
