Fighting the Stigma

Times have changed. If I ever thought about mental illness in my youth, it was in connection with “mental asylums” as they were called then.

Today, attitudes are very different, but there is still a stigma attached to mental health issues. That’s why I decided to add my story to a website called, “Stigma Fighters.” It’s an American site and they’re looking for donations that will help it become a non-profit organisation.

Many thanks to Ailsa Abraham for the link and endless thanks to Gill, who changed my life.
