mentally ill poet. living with traumagenic mental illnesses. bipolar disorder II, schizotypal personality disorder, and PTSD. I am currently an indie self-published author/poet through amazon! I advocate for mental health through freedom of expression & and creativity. I do not believe dark concepts have any negative impact, and those experiencing the dark side of mental illness have a space to self express & relate. Media tends to throw glitter & love on everything. It is important to bring sight to the real impact and real stories of experiences with mental illness.
