Writing with mental illness
Lina Neild writes about writing with mental illness. She loves the weird, the uncanny, science and speculative fiction. She was angry and a little embarrassed when she was diagnosed with ‘Repeat Trauma’ or ‘Complex’ PTSD with mixed depression and anxiety. Lina was silly enough to think that depression was okay but anxiety was a sign of weakness.
Now she is learning how to lean into a life that is not how she thought it would be. When she can, she writes and shares her thoughts and pictures with you.
Lina Neild is not a medical or mental health professional. She loves living where the wild things are and her house is full of them.
