Well howdy there kids! How’s it hanging? (Please don’t answer that.)

I always hate the first interaction on things like. It always feels so forced and awkward… And I have no doubt that if I keep writing here; as I intend to, that I will more than likely look back at what I’ve written and cringe so hard that I evaporate. Ah well. There’s definitely worse fates!

ANYWAY.

So yeah. Here we are. Basically this is something that I’ve been considering doing for a long time. Slightly throwing everyone in at the deep end here, but I might as well just go for it. Basically I’ve been suffering with mental health problems for a preeeetty long time, and I think now is about the time that I had a decent outlet for all the stuff that goes on inside that ol’ noggin’ of mine. So that brings us here. Please note, things will probably get a bit heavy at times, but I will always be sure to add trigger warnings (TWs) at the beginning of posts; as the last thing I want is for my ramblings to trigger somebody.

So yeah!

For my first post, that’s basically it! That’s about the shape of it. Be prepared to expect lots of delightful ramblings, insights into mental health and all kinds of weirdness (it’s what I do best!) And with a bit of luck, not only am I hoping that doing this will help me on my journey to better mental health, I’d like to think that somewhere down the line this may be able to help another person. One thing that I have come to realise; especially in the last few months, is that we are definitely not alone, and there is no need to suffer in silence.

See you on the next post!
