Where does it hurt?: locating mental illness in the body
We are often told that "mental illness" is just like "physical illness". It's as serious - they say. However, people still continue to think of disorders suchs as OCD and BIPOLAR as something that's "in your mind". But where is the mind? What is mind? In this serialized essay i would like to explore where the mental ends and the physical begins. My own experience with mental illness has involved so much pain. This is my attempt at exploring where this pain exactly is.
Financial stability is hard! Trying to write full time is a difficult endeavor. And yet, i have decided to give myself a chance because I really do enjoy writing my little poems and things. There's so, so much to do! If you would like to support me in my journey, please donate. Any tiny amount counts. Like, send 20rs that's also something. Your support will enable me to develop a corpus of work that gets me started. And right now, that's everything.
Love,
Chamelea.
