Madness Manchester And The Mind

Why Should You Listen To Me?

​

A decade ago, if you'd asked me what I wanted from life, I wouldn’t have had an answer. I was lost, unfulfilled, and just going through life on autopilot—not achieving anything. Many people around me, including myself, thought I was destined to live a struggling, disappointing life.

​

But everything changed thanks to a chance conversation and a bit of divine luck. During a seemingly ordinary discussion, something clicked. I realized that despite my mental health struggles in my early 20s, I had a unique understanding of the mind. This insight, coupled with the timely opportunity to take a short counselling course, became the foundation upon which I rebuilt my life.

​

Now, 10 years later, I'm a school counsellor helping others on their journeys while I study for my psychology PhD. Weirdly, breaking and hitting rock bottom turned out to be the greatest gift I’ve ever been given.

​

If you were to ask me why you should listen to me, I would say that my life’s path is now dedicated to helping others. This blog, "Madness, Manchester And The Mind," is an extension of that mission. It's a space where I store my thoughts, share my experiences, and hopefully offer support to those who need it. I invite you to join me here, where together we can explore the complexities of the mind and find ways to navigate the challenges life throws our way.
