When trying to support people over the years with mental health illness, I’ve always used the analogy of our mental health being akin to a house.
With these metaphorical four walls & roof, we hope to have our well-being, peace & happiness at its best.

When we are ill, this crumbles slate by slate & brick by brick.
How far it does is down to our individual situation & circumstances.
I hope that amongst the fog of mental illness this simple visualisation helps those in such a confusing time, to hold on to something.
