You have no doubt seen or heard the commercials: "Where does depression hurt? EVERYWHERE. Who does depression hurt? EVERYONE." Mental illnesses can consume you, take over your entire life and hurt everyone around you if you let it. I am no exception.

My life feels like I am stuck riding on a rollercoaster in the middle of a hurricane. I have ups and downs, and I have left a path of destruction in my wake. My sanity dangles on a tiny fragile string, and through this blog I am giving the world a look into my broken mind and my unstable life.

In the end, I am just a girl trying to maintain my sanity in a candy-coated world of misery. Here you'll get a glimpse at just how true those commercials are. Keep your arms and legs inside the blog at all times, hold on tight, and prepare yourself for a very bumpy ride ...

Cartoon-a-thon


Chato B. Stewart over at Mental Health Humor (www.mentalhealthcartoons.com) is publishing a new cartoon everyday for the entire month of May to celebrate Mental Health Month.

Chato details how you can participate and/or support him below:

May is Mental Health Month and we are going to hold our 2nd annual Cartoon-a-thon. This is when I try do draw one cartoon every day of the month. Our goal is to bring awareness to mental illness and to raise funds along with having fun too. The next stage of the Mental Health Humor Cartoons is the development and implementation of the Mental Health Humor project and funding free public presentations. Myself and a few other local volunteers will be heading this up to bring it to the public.

Yes, funding is always an issue so I’m asking if you can pledge a little something to the cartoon-a-thon.

Things you can do to help:

1. Visit our website every day to see the new cartoon (posting by 1:PM daily)
2. Sponsor us by pledging $5 or more. (Paypal or personal check)
3. Ask others if they would like to pledge (see this sponsor sheet)
4. If you have a blog or website / or e-mail list, post or send the new daily cartoon to them.
5. Print out and share the cartoons in your office or with your doctor.
6. If your on Facebook or MySpace or an other social network share them there.
7. Do what ever you can to be a part of Mental Health Month.

Any one who makes a $25 donation can have themselves drawing as a caricature and used in one of the cartoons.

(P.S. I did just donate $25 myself, so I do practice what I preach... Please help out too...)
