A collection of poetry and prose from people affected by mental illness. Their thoughts, experiences and dreams; the struggle to get out of the Blue.

“Read beneath the lines to a world a little removed from your own, or a world that feels distinctly familiar, a world that is in every way real and tangible: this is the place of the mentally ill, enjoy your experience.”

The world of mental illness verbalized and illustrated by two young children dealing with their mother’s predicament. A great way to engage with young people.

“This is part of a manuscript of a mother’s struggle. The lived experience of depression is expressed through the eyes of a child. The aim is to raise awareness, understanding, acceptance and reduce the stigma associated with mental illness.”
