The Complexity of Suicide: …
The Complexity of Suicide: Sometimes a person can only handle so much pain that they suffer daily without anyone knowing because they hide that pain behind a smile, saying “I’m Fine”. The worst thing someone can do is to know about this pain and ignore it, walk away and not care. We all have our […]
Suicide. My journey to the end.
Life for me in my early twenties was like being inside a tumble dryer. I can’t describe it any better than that. It would always feel as if I had worked through one set of life problems only to have it all thrown back on top of me in an endless dry cycle. You’ve heard […]

Strippers
This whole “life” thing would’ve been a lot easier, for me and everyone else, if only my parents had kept paint-stripper under the kitchen sink instead of premium Polish vodka. At least that’s what I tell myself I was looking for all those years ago. I love the smell of paint-stripper. Vodka is a stripper in it’s own right. Here […]
Running to Stand Still
I’m exhausted. I haven’t really done anything but I’m exhausted. Merely existing wears me out. I’m done, empty, finished. Nothing left to give. The well has run dry. I have been sick for so long now I don’t even remember what it feels like to feel well. To even just feel ok. Every day. From […]

Maze
Love’s lethargy generates monsters. Frightening thoughts that travel undisturbed in your head. Oh, if they are not scary! They are and they keep you awake at night, forcing you to linger on them more and more. Lost in a labyrinth without any way out Trying to find the escape that doesn’t exist. A never ending […]

“Just Talk”: the Limits of Tackling Stigma
Stigma is a huge issue when it comes to mental health, but it’s not an issue which is uniform or which can be tackled simply by talking as much as possible. We need good talk. A diversity of voices, telling their stories, calling out the bullshit, recognising the fallibility of our own beliefs, understanding that not everything can be explained, and that sometimes the invocation to ‘just talk’ can hurt more people than it helps.

A.B.C Drugs
Growing up in Arizona during the 80’s was probably no different than growing up anywhere else. We didn’t lock our doors, played the best music on our boom boxes and weren’t afraid to wander the streets and alleys late at night. In High School we did our share of ditching school, sneaking out of the […]
Understanding the Incomprehensible
Within a few weeks of starting middle school, a sixth-grader in my son’s class died by suicide. The principal, who was also new to that middle school, acted swiftly and appropriately to the crisis. His communications to the school community contained information about how to talk to one’s child about the event and how grief […]
