welcome to my worksite!
my name is a complicated question and i created this site to help me work towards and share my passions.
on this site you will find:
- self-help resource collections for coping with mental health issues and symptoms of mental disorders
- essays on how mental illness is depicted in media and online
- resources for creatives seeking to better understand and depict mental illness in/for their creative work
- and some personal, self-indulgent, self-expression pages.
please feel free to peruse my work, use this site's resources if you may find them useful, and enjoy your stay!
planned:
- unintentional coding, the 'image' of DID, and split-personality trope: DID receptions of non-DID depiction
- organise/compile history of how DID is spoken about online (notes) (in-communities, language used and development of specialised in-group and clinical terminology, in-group attitudes towards treatment / multiplicity / identity, endogenic / spiritual / kin community overlap)
- thinking critically about DID community rhetoric (notes) (oriented towards those within -- BITE, us vs them/binaries, self-transformation through language and labelling, learned helplessness re: mental health & 'difference')
