My name is Rory Milligan. I’m currently 22 years old and an aspiring author, having published The Door’s Shadow in November of 2020. At the moment, I am working on a sequel with a prequel in mind, another independent project, and a collection of poems. I’m hoping to start making gaming videos on YouTube (though I’m not super confident on that part quite yet). And now, I have decided to create a website and start a blog.
I used to make these posts on Facebook relating to mental health and illnesses. As someone with what I would call vast experience with such things, I feel like I’d be wasting my voice if I didn’t use it. Mental health is a very personal subject to me, and to so many other people out there too. I’m not ashamed to have these illnesses, and no one else should be, either. I’m hoping that someone out there will benefit from my posts about it, whether it helps them understand themselves better or it helps them understand someone around them better.
Mental illnesses have this stigma surrounding them, and I intend to do whatever I can to break that stigma. They may define the path my life has taken so far, but they do not define me.
My social media links are all included on this site, and I will add more of my written works as they come out. I’m new to this whole blogging thing, but questions and comments are entirely welcome – encouraged even, I would say. This is my attempt at mental health awareness and the understanding of it for all.
