A little bit about me 

Hey there! My name is Cody Mcnicol, I am a 19 year old Mental health student, living in Melbourne, Australia.

I am incredibly passionate about mental health and want to use this blog as a platform to not only help remove the stigma of people suffering from mental illness, but also to express myself in a healthy and productive way, (something I haven't always been the best at).

I want to be raw and real with you guys; people need to know that they are not alone in this battle- there is always hope and there is always help available (I've only come to realise in the last few years). You are never alone and there is always someone you can reach out too, even when you don't want to reach out to anyone.

Even when the grip of your bed is stronger than any force that has ever been present on this earth. Even when you've pushed every single person around you away in hopes that it would rid you of the guilt. Even when you can't imagine living another day in this hard, brutal world. There is always someone who's ready to listen, someone whose ready to offer you the right support and there will always be someone who loves you.

That's enough of me blabbing on (insert audience laughter). Just to finish off, This is a piece I Wrote a couple of weeks ago, feel free to let me know how what you think :)

"It's not the kind of sadness where you cry all the time, but more like the sadness that overwhelms your entire being; leaving your heart aching and your stomach empty. Leaving nothing but weakness and fatigue that no amount of sleep can cure. The sadness seeps into your dreams; almost leaving no escape." ~escape anyway
