What is Wrong With Me?

*Trigger Warning: mental illness and suicide*

Welcome to the first episode of Mad Poetry: Mental Illness Reimagined.

Today's episode will focus on that "in-between space", the one in which we find ourselves when we first start feeling mentally unwell, when our symptoms first start, all the way to the moment we finally get answers regarding our condition. We will also talk about what mental illness is and the labels people use to define themselves living with a mental illness. We will also touch upon madness.
