Something more personal π
Naomi published Living With Mental Illness β her honest account of navigating schizophrenia, ADHD, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and chronic physical conditions.
She wrote it because there isn't enough open conversation about this stuff, especially schizophrenia with all its stigma. If you've ever felt like your brain was fighting against you, this one's for you.
β οΈ Content warning: suicide attempts, psychosis, self-medication with alcohol, chronic illness
Please take care of yourselves. π
