Hey everyone and welcome to Wines, Times, and Weims.

I decided to start writing this blog as an outlet for my mental health struggles. I’ve always enjoyed writing but through my depression and anxiety, I kind of gave up. I didn’t enjoy it like I used to. I needed to find something I was passionate about.

I think I mention on my first post Suffering in silence that all it took was for me to listen to one podcast episode and I was sold. I was like “I want to do more for people who don’t really have a voice or anyone they can turn to”.

So here it is.

I’ll be writing some personal posts and sme factual posts to even it out. Understanding and dealing with mental illness can be tough – not to mention exhuasting – but if can get society to a place where people feel more comfortable to be able to talk about what they are going through, then I truly believe that we can reach a point where the number of deaths caused by this is reduced.

Obviously that is wishful thinking. But I just hope in writing this, I can help even just one person to realise that they are in not in this alone. There are plenty of people out there who suffer along with you, and a lot of those people are willing to help.

Stay strong – we got this!
