Just realised it is #mentalhealthawarenessweek2019 (loooong hashtag). It’s also pretty much bang on three years to the day that my suicidal thoughts and crippling paranoia became so evidently bad that a friend insisted I go to the doctor and ask for help.
I also *think* that this is the week when I finish writing my second book, which is on mental health and the great outdoors. Lots of synchronicity there, not all of it particularly nice.
Anyway, am not tweeting about this because I’m keen for sympathy - I’ve got plenty of family and friends who offer the kind of unconditional love that just seems inexplicable, whether I’m healthy or sick. Or to offer some kind of triumphalist ‘recovery’ story.
