What do you want to know?

I do not profess to know all the answers, yet alone try to predict what kinds of questions you have for me, for us, or for the blog. I am simply the facilitator. What I can try to do is wonder what kinds of things you may want to read the most. Do you want to know about medication? What about their side effects? I would sincerely be able to share only my personal experience the best, and then refer you to another better source hopefully, like drugs.com. But we all know that it does help to know someone who may have been on the same medication, and their intended effects. How does one cope day to day? Mental health is a 24/7 thing. I could go into detail of what it is like to be hospitalized or put in a psychiatric unit in a hospital, but I think that would be too personal, and then also everyone's experience is unique and confidential for sure. Let's keep it PG or at least PG-13 and be of the most relevant use to everyone here. What I can do, and will offer are my ideas and strategies for recovery. Perhaps we share some. If you can contribute to the site, some information, resources or things that you think will benefit a blog like this, feel free to contact me. I am a mental health consumer and have lived with mental health issues for more than 15 years.

The Initial Purpose of this Blog

When I thought up this blog, I thought about the title it would or could have, and then as if by magic, it appeared. Blogger is pretty neat, and I have used it before to create other named blogs. Anyways, I knew the content needed to focus on mental health issues. It needed to have some component to do with the topic of mental illness, mental health recovery and elements that went in to it as far as personal stuggle and stories of recovery or hope come in, and have input from more than just one person. After all, mental health affects everyone though many but not all people are impacted by mental illness. Many people have stories and experiences to share and learn from. Many have ideas stored in their heads that can reach or benefit another. Let's hope together for a brighter future.
