Our Stories

On this site we've talked a lot about the signs and symptoms of mental health, but sometimes it has more impact when you can read and relate to someone else's story. So we have collected stories from our people, changing the names for anonymity. Maybe reading what someone else has gone through will help you, or help you to help someone else. Remember, you are not alone.
