About

I am a caregiver of a family member suffering from mental illness.

For years, I tried to brush away the fact that this person is mentally unwell and treated the person in an almost non-existential manner. In 2019, I could no longer run away from the fact and it caught up to me in a very big way.

The journey has been…tumultuous. But I am grateful for the help of a family member who gave and helped what she could, and of friends giving mental support and advice.

It dawned upon me while the resources of understanding mental illness and taking care of mental well-being are out there, mental illness still carries a very large stigma and is either greatly misunderstood or not spoken of/discussed in many parts of the world.

This site is but a small effort from me, though I hope in some way it contributes to the greater awareness and understanding of mental health, as well as providing some form of support to caregivers of loved ones suffering from mental health.
