My mental health writing

Portfolio.

I was sectioned. I recovered; sort of. This is the writing that came after.

Personal Responsibility

I'm thinking about being happy,

but it's harder than being sad.

Arts

Life after crisis: I was who I was, I am who I am.

Photography shows me that she is inside me still.

Growth

"Is it not the prolegomena to another?"

Sunday ramblings on a pandemic youth, my dearest friends and my poor goddamn therapist.

Recovery

Writing as catharsis

I had a tough April.

Pyschosis

Sectioned, 3 Years On: The Case for a New Language of Illness

My personal yet critical exploration of psychosis, recovery, and the institutional narratives that shape our understanding of illness.
