hmm…erm… an “about” section is hard to do for an anonymous blog. The only things I can really tell you are: I have spent the best part of the last decade in the mental health system with severe mental illness, I hold a PhD in experimental physics and I am using the pseudonym Alex Mendelsohn
However, I realise many of you out there might want to put a face to the words I have written. Fortunately, I have drawn an ultra-realistic self-portrait using my C+ grade in high school art. Risky I know. But I think I just about got away with it.
