I am currently in the process of writing an extensive article on our experiences of employment - some of the problems we face, challenges in day to day work and stigmatisation... Basically, I would like to construct the whole thing out of personal stories from us all! I have been writing the background for a few years now but really want to engage in real life experiences. Just wondered really if anyone would like to tell their story - it can either be written and sent or we could discuss them in person or even over the telephone! Well I am looking for around fifty people in total... I have written mine and I have to say it was a theraputic experience!!! It was the first time I verbalised my mental health problems and some of the stigma I had faced!

Well anyway.... Id really like your help so message me if you are interested and we can arrange meetings telephone calls or ways you could contribute! You will of course be given editorial rights etc!!!
