I’m not licensed in any way
That means I’m not a doctor, psychologist, psychiatrist, mental health nurse or anything else. I write articles about mental health topics to inform, educate, offer hope, and hopefully relate. Always check anything written here with a mental health professional before making any changes based on what you have read.

Protect yourself if you're prone to triggers
When I put the word ‘suicide’ in a title, its because that’s what I’m writing about. If I put “ECT’ (electro convulsive therapy) in a title, it’s because that’s what I’m writing about. Trigger warnings are not generally used in these cases. You’re a adult and you need to decide what subject(s) you need to avoid to protect your mental health. (That said, if the title doesn’t clearly state a possibly triggering in the article, I may use a trigger warning in that case)
The “ My Mental Health Journey” Blog
