More personally… Hi!

I plan to use this blog primarily for mental health related topics, with some travel, creative writing/book reviews mixed in. I overcame debilitating anxiety, but it still flares up from time to time. My hope is that this blog may help at least one person who has also struggled with mental health issues.
