Title
MadNOTBad: Experiences, Opinions and Creativity in Mental Health
Description
I'm 27, had lots of MH experience (mostly in the last 7 years but hey, who's counting). As well as being 'mad' I write (lots), sing (also lots) and am attempting to have a life (occasionally). I'm very lucky to have the support of friends and family - though some bravely ran away when it became obvious all wasn't well in wonderland. Scared, I guess.
I've self harmed, heard voices, felt (through the floor) low, attempted suicide, believed the aliens were 'out to get me', felt like I could fly, hated medications, demanded medications, been terrified, had anxiety attacks, saw 'visions', been 'high', talked the hind legs off a donkey (and then some), had 'trauma', been a pain in the arse, been a pleasure to work with (maybe) ….. the list is endless.
This web site is founded on the idea that 'it's good to talk'. Cheesy notion, I know, but true nonetheless. The more we share our experiences - the less weird they'll feel. The less loony we'll feel. AND (eventually) the more others might understand.
