When I set up my blog relating to mental health issues, my main objective was to offer people like myself who have long since suffered with mental health issues, support on a daily basis, in order to be best able to cope with their issues and demons and in general to get more from life.
Having written a book on the subject, relating my personal experience and primarily the things I have found to be beneficial during my journey through life’s challenges coping with mental health issues on a daily basis, I thought that my job was done.
However, although constantly reading self-help, positive thinking books is of paramount importance, what I’ve discovered is that each day, one needs constant support and advice to keep you on the straight and narrow so to speak, not to mention belief and self-confidence, as well as reminding you of the importance of implementing these powerful self-help, positive thinking philosophies 24/7 in the face of the incessant barrage of negative influence we encounter in this immensely negative world of ours.
In the old days, a weekly newsletter in the post might well have done the trick, but in these modern times, with supposedly great technological advances – although not always great in my eyes – what better way to keep in touch with your fellow sufferers than through a personal blog, where you get the opportunity to speak straight from the heart, so to speak, about the most important issues on your mind!
