About…

ORNAMENTAL ILLNESSES is a writing blog with three aims:

• To hone my craft. If you're gonna go around and call yourself a writer, you should write. You should also know when to stop writing. Having a blog forces me to declare something "finished" enough.
• To process my struggle with long term mental illness. Right now I'm concerned with my recovery and awakening from decades of over-medication. (I'm not interested in debates over the efficacy of psych meds; I only know my story.)
• Receive external validation. How else am I supposed to know how I feel unless I see those little red notification numbers change?
