The Presenting Problem

I have lived experience with mental illness. I'm not a clinician. I'm pursuing peer support specialist certification.

This is where I write about the territory between those two things.

---

Notes from skills training. Reactions to what I read about mental health, psychiatry, therapy, peer support, and the system. Observations about my own trajectory, written as it happens.

Amateur. Candid. Not advice.
