So, what is Grey Thinking?
This description, I have been dreading doing. I’m not 100% sure the form that this blog will take. Basically though, it’s a commentary on psych matters. Probably mostly eating disorders, anxiety, PTSD, health, nutrition, that kind of stuff… there might be other completely random stuff thrown in, I’m not sure. These are the published journal articles that I read, the crap that I see in the media, the books that I read, the websites I encounter, the conversations that I have with professionals and friends… most of which doesn’t belong on my personal blog because it’s contemplative of mental health rather than myself personally. That probably doesn’t help much… but at least you don’t think this blog is on cars or finances 
Hello.
I am a Peer Support Specialist (currently uncertified) for my local “behavioral health” center. I am “openly living with mental illness”, not to mean that I declare to all that I have a mental health diagnosis. Rather, I have dedicated my experience to educating others about recovery and reducing the stigma of mental illness. If I see a reasonable opportunity to share my experience I will do so.
I am searching for a list of 365 facts and/or myths of/about mental illness in general. I would like to find one to save myself time (I am kind of lazy) and to avoid running into the same information over and over again.
My intent is to print one fact or myth for each day of the year and wear it in an ID card holder in an effort to reduce the stigma of mental illness by educating myself, family, loved ones, friends, co-workers, strangers and the general public.
I am surprised that my search has not found something similar in a calender or other publication so far.
Will you please help by directing me to such a list? I would be very pleased and grateful if you may.
I discovered this blog by searching on ask.com for “calendar of mental illness” and found your writing to be refreshing. It is now on my favorites list. Thank you for being a beacon of reason and critique in a “Diagnosis Crazy” world (pun intended).
Sincerely,
Chadley McVeigh

Hi,
I followed you on Twitter and you DM’d me asking how I found you. Well, first of all Twittre won’t allow me to DM or reply to anyone who isn’t following me, which seems ridiculous and so I don’t appear rude I’m posting here.
I followed you on Twitter because I am just looking out for Tweets which seem to have similar interests. I am a hypnotherapist and Coach specialising in health and wellbeing. I may have found you through following someone else’s followers, again looking out for similar interests.
Sorry this isn’t very helpful to find out how you are being found, but best I can do. new to Twitter and just seeing how it goes at the moment.
Best regards

Hi, I just started following you on twitter. You sent me a direct message asking how I found you and requested a direct message back. However twitter does not allow a direct message to be sent if the recipient is not also a follower. I’m sorry. I found you on twitter, with a PTSD search. I hope that helps!
Hi, I couldn’t send you a direct message, error message from twitter, kept coming up.This was the only way I could think of returning your direct message to me. I found your site searching health on the web. Being in and out of therapy for years now, found your info of interest to me. Thanks for letting me follow, hope it’s still okay.
I receive your request for a response to me following you on twitter. However, I am unable to respond directly because you are not following me.
I am a PhD student in psychology and I have been doing research on my own that I want to work on outside a university setting.
I found you under the health tab on twitter. I am interested in mental health issues. I have done some interesting research if your interested in establishing a correspondence.

I found you on twitter with a search for health/eatingdisorders. I am interested in recovery from addiction/mental illness and am enjoying reading your site. Please check out my blog at the address above – it presents the concept that recovery is attained by delving into the urge that drives addiction. Let me know your thoughts.
