I am creating this site because I know that there are many many many of you out there suffering from
depression, self injury, or a host of other mental illnesses or disorders. This is for you. Through my journaling
and my poetry that I will post here, I hope to help someone through my misery see that you are not alone. One point
that I want to make......if you are feeling suicidal please call for help. Call
911 or your local emergency number, 1-800 SUICIDE or a friend or someone to talk to. I want to warn that in the
journal entries that you will read from me, a lot of it may be triggering. I know that we all have a free will and I
am not responsible for what you do with the information I present. I am just giving my own
words, thoughts and experiences to you to read and relate to. I am in no way endorsing any type of self injurous behavior
or suicide. Mental health illnesses are real illnesses. Just as real as the flu or cancer. Though there
is still a lot of stigma associated with mental illness, it is becoming more acknowledged which is a god-send to people like
us. Help is more readily available. Please read my journals with an open mind and realize the pain that
is coming through my words. Thank you,
Mary
