Project: Speak Up, Speak Out - Stand Up, Stand Out

Mental Health issues affect us all, if not us personally then a friend or family member. 25% of people are affected, that's too high! Life is shit for all of us, obviously someone will be crippled. It goes on upstairs but believe me it is crippling. 

I'm starting this project on my blog, which used to have my political stuff, but there are too many of those. There are too many self harm and suicide blogs where people can exchange information. Being in that position myself I was searching euthanasia websites looking for a "peaceful escape" but eventually came to the conclusion; not that it wasn't for me, but it wasn't for me. 

My sense of morality kicked back in and an old friend; emotion; his name was Passion came back to me. 
I think assisted dying should be legal, but methods should not be utilised by persons with MH issues. I believe my own sense of morality and justice saved my life in this regard. 

So, given the plethora of suicide blogs, I think I should even the balance and invite people to talk about their story and how a mental health problem can be overcome. 
Anyone is invited to send me a private message and I will grant privileges to post here. Obviously I'm editing so if you suddenly start flogging herbal Viagra and enhancements to willies you're banned!

This project is about positivity. If you think it's nieve and dangerous pls say so. It's early days. I want to see where it goes. But my invitation is to Speak Up, Speak Out, Stand Up, Stand Out
