An orange background with a graphic of two women sat chatting in the bottom right corner. Title text reads, '"Where do you see yourself in 5 years?"'. The main body of the text reads, 'My therapist asked this question with curiosity and enthusiasm, with which I didn't quite know how to respond. I had goals, but I'd never named them as something I actually planned to achieve. I was so unpredictable with mood swings that the next hour could have me spiralling downwards and nothing would stop me. I had it in my head that relapsing was just a part of my life that I would get used to. When I think about that judgment now, in this moment, it makes me sad. Not sad because it's basically been how my life has gone so far, but because I believed it would never change and I had lost the hope of recovering someday. I tried to bring myself back to the moment. I was getting stuck in my head, going around in circles.'
An orange background with a graphic of a flower in the bottom right corner. Text that reads, '"5 years?" I sighed and shifted in my seat as I prepared to make up a whole story of being discharged from mental health services, living independently, managing bills and finances, being in a healthy relationship and having positive friendships. That moment passed through my head, and a tear trickled down my cheek. I hadn't answered yet, but the thoughts got me going deeper and deeper as we sat in silence. "I think I'd just like to be better than I am now. I'd like to feel like I'm giving my all in life, trying my hardest and building a strong foundation for my future. I guess I would like to see myself mentally stronger and stable without a cycle of relapsing. I want to break the cycle and maintain good mental health." That moment changed how I viewed my future. I didn't need things that money could buy. I just wanted to feel I was doing enough to support myself in my recovery journey. The cycle needed to change. A new direction. A new focus. A strong grip on the life I wanted and a determination and drive that I couldn't let go of. '
: An orange background with graphics of flowers and a butterfly in the top right corner and flowers in the bottom right corner. Title text reads, '*5 years later*'. The main body of text reads, 'I'm sitting in my one-bedroom house, aged 30. I feel loved, supported and stable. Not the kind of stable where I'm just surviving each day. No, I'm actually living my life. I'm thriving! I'm engaged to the love of my life. I have strong friendships and no longer seek validation for every decision I make in life. I actually achieved 5-years risk-free today too. And I am celebrating with a trip to London over the new year of 2031 to experience watching the fireworks as the year moves to the next and the clock strikes midnight. I am working now since I got my qualification in community mental health and psychiatry and my psychology diploma, but still also enjoy blogging and sharing my writing with charities that can reach so many people who relate to what I’ve gone through and just need that little bit of hope and proof that life can get better. "I’m ready!" I tell myself internally. I say it firmly as if I am commanding that there is no backing out of it... no other option. You’ve got this! Let’s see what 5 years bring!'
Our lovely volunteer Rhiannon has shared some reflections with us on setting goals and looking to the future.

People with mental illness often face stigma, misconceptions, and misunderstandings about their conditions. Support and a listening ear can have a huge impact. 👂

A image laid out to look like a page in a ringbound note book, sketches of a sun, birds, clouds and hearts are around the edge. Text reads as follows, ' Day by day, Moment by moment, One at a time; Breathe. Feel how you feel, But don't allow it any more time than necessary. You are more than the sadness that has been a part of your life these past few years. You are not sadness. You are you! Nothing can remove your identity from this world. You are unique. You choose the path to take from now on, Each choice is one that you will look back on in a year and remember with a smile on your face. The sunshine glowing warm on your skin,'
A image laid out to look like a page in a ringbound note book, sketches of a sun, birds, clouds and hearts are around the edge. Text reads as follows, 'The flowers blooming, The smile that your best friend has when she sees you coming, arms open, ready to embrace you in a hug. All of these require a process, A starting point, To get to the final destination and then start over until the next time. The sun has to rise and set at the start and end of each long day. The progress of a flower that blooms is not a quick one. It takes in every little bit of life, while existing happily as it is. And then there is the smile from your best friend. This can be a personal one, as everything is in life. The smile; a unique, personal way of expressing emotions of happiness. That of a friend though, not quite your own, but feels sometimes as if you helped form their smile with your company, your presence. '
A image laid out to look like a page in a ringbound note book, sketches of a sun, birds, clouds and hearts are around the edge. Text reads as follows, 'It's a funny one! Each moment can't be taken back to change... So why do we so often want to look back on the past and wish we had used different words, different actions? Why do we believe that our past defines and becomes our future? Each moment, each second that ticks by, we cannot re-live. We can only learn from. Living in the past stops us from creating the life we can only dream of in the moment. But every moment we live as it happens, is a moment closer to dreams becoming reality; not all at once, but slowly and steadily. Progress isn't sudden. It happens over time, Consistently. Moment by moment, Day by day, Happiness will find a way.'
Our volunteer Rhiannon shared piece of her writing with us reflecting on finding joy in nature and the everyday as part of recovery.

Join MSU’s Mental Health Research Connect and NAMI Lansing for a special event during Mental Illness Awareness Week on October 9! The event will feature Dr. Vikram Patel, an internationally renowned expert on community-based approaches to mental health. The talk will be followed by a live panel discussion with a peer support specialist, a psychiatrist, and community activists.
A green quote from Katy Thakkar that says: This event is about rethinking how we approach mental health— not just through services, but through relationships, community, and a sense of belonging. We’re thrilled to bring so many mental health experts, including the global voice of Dr. Patel, together to imagine what accessible, rights-based mental health support can look like in practice.
Join us for a night of exploring how dignity and belonging can shape mental health care beyond traditional clinical systems!

Image description: a four panel comic. All four panels show a sheet ghost with a speech bubble over a orange background. In the first panel the ghost has their hand up and speaks to the reader saying "Hey you!" The second panel continues saying "The one reading this comic..." while holding a cell phone with a smaller version of the same comic on the screen. In the third panel the ghost holds their hands up to their heart to say "Thank you for being here!" The final panel shows the sheet ghost with their arms in the air, giving the reader a virtual hug, while saying "The world is so much better with you in it!"
"Thank you!"

Text that reads, 'And so, i’m not going to do a long post on it or about my personal struggles around it but instead i want to remind people that you often can quite literally never tell when someone feels that low, the signs can vary hugely and the majority of people who feel suicidal much of the time are functioning, they’re not in hospital, they’re not in psych wards, they’re the ones serving you at cafes, the ones supporting you throughdifficult times, studying, working - whatever it may be, they’re getting up, they’re showering, they’re taking care o themselves, they’re showing up. It doesn’t mean they’re OK - hence why it’s so important to check in on ALL those around you, even those who seem the happiest or pretty chilled out.'
Text that reads, 'And i just want this to be a reminder that if this is you, I see you And you’re not alone When you’re feeling that low it can feel scary, all consuming - as if there quite literally isn’t a way out but please trust me when i say there is. I know you might have felt like this for a while now, I know you’re exhausted. I know you don't feel you can live this way anymore but please know that a life outside of feeling this way really is possible. I have spent weeks, months, years of my life thinking this would be my forever, it wasn't. I can’t tell you how or why or what made it switch but it did, i still feel this way sometimes, but it’s not like it used to be.'
Text that reads, ' Nothing I can say or do can make you stay but please know you are worth so much more than you believe. Breathe deep. Allow yourself to cry. Connect if you feel able to. You deserve so much love, regardless of what you’ve been told or the things you have been through This won't be your forever. Keep taking it day by day, hour by hour or minute by minute if you need to - these feelings will pass, if not completely, they will lessen. You are worth something here.'

Floral background with text overlaid that reads as follows, 'Would you change? Remembering the life we've had, The life that can't be undone, The people who are no longer here in person, The opportunities missed, We can't change what's happened to us, What we've been through, What we've battled and fought. But right now, We have the control to do something different, To change how our story goes from now.'
Floral background with text overlaid that reads as follows, 'Maybe we haven't accepted support in the past. Maybe we have made choices we aren't proud of. If we could change something, what would it be? Our friendships? A destructive relationship? A first encounter? Or a last one that we didn't know was coming? Would we change our attitudes? Our perspectives? Our judgements?'
Floral background with text overlaid that reads as follows, 'We cant choose what happens in 10 years. It hasnt happened yet. We've no control of the future, Of inevitable things. We lack the capacity to change these things. So why spend our time wishing? Expecting change, while not thinking or doing anything differently? The choices we make right now, determine the choices we have to make in the next moment. What is for us, won't pass us. What is meant to be will be.'
Our lovely volunteer Rhiannon has written some reflections on change and the power we have to make differences in our lives.

If the first portrait was the proper presentation of me,this one represents how I usually am.
A flawed human with a legion of mental illnesses who's trying her best but it's as useful as sweeping in a sandstorm.
Enjoy

Naming anxiety helps.
Label the symptoms.
Then loosen their grip.
Awareness is your first medicine.

The duality of bipolar anxiety: “I’m terrified of people.”
Also me: Starts a Substack and overshares.
You can be anxious and brave.
Scared and loud.
Messy and magnetic.
That’s your magic. Don’t mute it.

Your mood may swing. Your thoughts may race. Your world may tilt.
But YOU?
You’ve survived every episode.
Every panic spiral. Every dark hour.
Your resilience is louder than your diagnosis.
That’s not luck. That’s power.

...They’re how you rebuild a sense of self when everything feels like too much.
A boundary isn’t a wall. It’s a doorway to freedom.
Protecting your energy is not selfish.
It's wise and healthy.

...Boundaries aren’t rude. Burnout is.
People-pleasing is just self-abandonment in a nicer outfit.
Want to stop crashing?
Stop being "polite" when you need to be protective.
It's not selfish to take care of you.

Protect your peace. .
