Rollercoaster In The Head – Real. Open. Together.
Why This Blog? Because life often feels like an emotional rollercoaster – somewhere between darkness and Disneyland. There are days when everything feels grey, and others that seem almost magical. I'm not writing because I have the answers, but because I know how I sometimes feel in this world.
With our Mental Health Initiative, we also want to show: You are not alone. We are many. And together, we carry hope.
Soul Worlds: by fellow sufferers for fellow sufferers!
