Disordered X Together

20/01/2021

An idea for this page has always been to become a place for people to share stories and mental health journeys in a safe public space.

In addition to this, I would also like to offer the opportunity for this page to be a place where a person can share more than just words, but also their art too.

For many people who suffer from mental health issues such as depression and anxiety, a way through those times is to put those experiences into creativity and expression. Whether it's music, drawing, poetry, whatever, I want to extend the offer to share it with this group and the people who follow the page.

If you have a song you've written that has helped you through tough times or even something you have drawn that you would prefer to share instead of being in front of the camera then get in touch and I will put it up on the page.

I hope everyone is doing well during this (hopefully final) lockdown and looking forward to the coming months.

Be kind to yourselves, look forward to hearing from you ✌️

I wanted to say happy new year for 2021 and wish you all the best for the next twelve months.

We're really grateful to those who have shared their stories with us so far. It really helps anybody who may be suffering in silence feel that they're not alone in how they're feeling.

We're always looking for new people to share their stories with us, and if you've been thinking of being a part of this project then feel free to drop us a message or a comment.

Have a great weekend and take good care of yourselves. ✌️

“Because a greater understanding and knowledge of it, and also the awareness of how many people have various mental health issues, i think helps to move towards not only a greater understanding but a feeling of not being isolated, not being alone.”

Have a great weekend, and be kind to yourself.

“There’s definetly light to be found, but when you’re dealing with a mental health disorder then you have to look a little bit harder to find it.”

Disordered x Together is a video project which aims to document a person's experience of their mental health journey in a visually descriptive way which will then be turned into a three to four minute talking head segment.

Each person's answers to the questions will be turned into a video which will be published alongside the interviews of others who have also decided to share with the group.

Over time the aim is to build up a wide variety of people from all walks of life who have been brave enough to share their experiences. What I hope to achieve from this library of videos is to give the people watching a glimpse into what mental health issues look like and even give them an insight into how they can make you see and feel the world.

It's my hope that somebody who has never experienced mental health issues in their life may be able to watch these videos and gain a better understanding of what it's like to live through them, whilst at the same time giving the person in front of the lens a chance to speak openly and honestly about their truth.

If you would like to share your story with us then drop this page a message or comment on the post and we will get back to you as soon as possible!

“When I’ve tried to describe how my anxiety has felt before, there’s two examples which i think are quite good analogies for it. The first is, you wake up every day and you have a job interview.”
