About this website
Do you want to learn more about mental health? Are you experiencing anxiety and need to breathe? The focus of this website is to provide:

Collecting and combining information from various sources and putting it all into one place gives an easier way to those who want to access this info. Although there are many other websites like this, I am hoping to connect further into mental health and dive deeper through researching and connecting with others through this site. This also gives you a place to talk about how you feel, if you need to get something off your chest. Maybe you had a bad day and wanted to talk about it. Or, perhaps you were reading a blog post and you decided to elaborate the emotions you felt absorbing the information.
