Hey there! Welcome to my blog.

This is a place where I will be sharing my personal journey with mental health, the good, the bad and of course, the ugly.

My given name is Kate, but you may call me Winter; Like many of you, I have faced my own challenges with mental health, since the age of 12, when my battle first began, to now, as I'm approaching my 28th birthday! Mental health isn't something that goes away with age, but we do learn to manage it better. I hope this blog will become a safe space for anyone that visits it, I will be openly talking about self harm, eating disorders and suicidal thoughts, I'll be honest and speak openly about how I'm feeling during each post, but it won't all be doom and gloom! I have good days too!

Why "The Ramblings Of Winter Blue."?

The name of this blog reflects on the often foggy, cold and confusing times that we experience, when our mental health is struggling. Just like winter, these moments can be harsh and isolating, but they also have a stark beauty and quiet strength, and lets not forget, winter doesn't last forever, spring will come again, it always does.

Through my writings, I hope to bring warmth and clarity to the blur, offering insights and companionship for anyone else that's navigating their own winter season.

What Can You Expect?

The truth, plain and simple. there will be personal stories of my own and hopefully one day, there'll be contributions from my readers, that's you!

My Mission?

Mental health is a deeply personal journey, what works for one, might not work for everyone, and that's okay. My hope is, that through sharing, we can find common ground and support each other in our unique paths. I want to create a safe space for people of all ages and backgrounds. You are not alone.

With hope and gratitude,

Winter.
