Ahoy!

​

I started to write about my experiences with a mental health illness because I needed an outlet, and it seemed to be therapeutic for me. It helped to get some things out of my system and to see them in a different light. I took medication for over five years to help with my mental health and attended a variety of therapies to support my self development and education. 

​

I have written a blog post for Men Tell Health, which tells you my story in more detail, so please check out that post. 

​

In 2017 I added 'lifestyle' topics to my blogging, includes things like health, exercise, local events and reviews. I am delighted to be sharing more and showing how mental health can affect anyone at different times, but also how we can continue to seek out amazing events, places and people to support our wellbeing. Whether you're struggling with mental health or not. If you have projects or events you would like to discuss with me, get in touch. 

​

In July 2018 I hosted the first ever Mental Health Blog Awards in Portsmouth. I am delighted by the support I had from a range of individuals, organisations and charities. Seeing the support and celebration of people sharing their stories of mental health illness, wellness, stigma and importantly support is something I am so very proud of.

​

In 2020 Mike's Open Journal (MOJO) became the Open Journal BlogCast. The change reflecting the increased knowledge and story sharing from podcast guests and brand collaborations.
