#mentalmansjournal

A blog about thriving in the face of adversity, about cultivating a sense of integrity, self-esteem, and well-being. The author is a former drug addict with a history of severe mental health problems. He grew up in an affluent family, sent to the finest boarding schools and succeeding by many modern societal standards. The blog details the author’s experience with bullying, abandonment, loss, suicide, and addiction. The author also contrasts this darkness with a great hope. He describes the challenges he has faced and how he has thrived in the face of them. The blog is about finding completeness, self expression and embodying what it really means to be a gentleman. And some utter nonsense too!

Relief flooded over me as I discovered I was not lacking or morally deficient in the ways I had come to believe. The Shame is still there today, but I can distinguish it and tell it to bugger off.

Stuck in wonderland…

February 2, 2018February 12, 2018 / Henry Lewin / Leave a comment

"I'm stuck in this job," I said. Resigned - I did. We have all probably had situations where we felt unhappy, yet did nothing about it. Whether that be in our relationships, work, families or finances; it may have seemed as though we could do nothing. I have felt as though I have been held … Continue reading Stuck in wonderland…

Is it right to write this blog?

January 24, 2018January 26, 2018 / Henry Lewin / Leave a comment

I have chosen to write a blog; about the comings and goings, ramblings and musings of my mind... I have the arrogance to assume that you would want to read about me or the things that I am passionate about. Nevertheless, I am permitting myself this indulgence. I enjoy it and I find helpful to … Continue reading Is it right to write this blog?
