I have to be honest and say, I really don’t enjoy beginning any written piece of work with a Mental Health Disclaimer, nonetheless it is occasionally required, and very much valid for many pieces I have written and chosen to publish here on the website — But I Digress … Chronically! — along with any associated social media.
In a world where life can be unduly challenging, painful, chaotic, unpredictable, overwhelming and extremely heartbreaking … I believe very strongly that many of the subjects I write about and publish online, are subjects which MUST be discussed openly and honestly as a means of showing support and understanding toward one another, through sharing our personal stories, one human soul to another.
While some content on this website and associated social media requires no form of Mental Health Disclaimer at all, there is other content that may include, but is not limited to, the Mental Health Aspects of…
- Chronic Illness
- Disability
- Anxiety
- Loneliness
- Suicide
- Toxic Family Dynamics
- Abusive Relationships
- Religious Abuse
- And … Mental Health in General
Sensitive content which is based on my own personal experiences, observations and conversations with other people.
