I’ve been doing some thinking about what I want to write about here. Originally, this was just going to be a place to talk about my artistic pursuits, but I later realized that so much of my artistic process is tied in with my personal psychological and physiological pathologies that it could be worthwhile and interesting for other people if I wrote about those too. I know a lot about the health care industry, pharmacology, dealing with specialists, choosing doctors, dealing with repeated mutiny of the brain, etc.
Part of me loathes the thought of spilling very personal contents of my brain out onto the to the vast, spongy, fecund terrain of the interwebs, but I feel like the positives of sharing outweigh the negatives.
Specifically, I want to work to change the stigma against mental illness and talking about mental illness. If I can share my experiences, fearlessly (posting under my real name) and truthfully, I believe I can add something positive to the world, even as a blundering non-professional writer.
