I Mean Well is a personal blog about mental health, recovery and life. 

My name is Andrew Wallace and I blog about my personal experiences with mental health and mental illness. 

I have anxiety, depression and impulsive-type borderline personality disorder. These conditions have had a lasting effect on my wellbeing, and while I’m doing better these days, I still regularly face the challenges these conditions bring. 

I’m also a sober, gay Third Culture Kid. So it strikes me that I might have a unique perspective on mental health that could benefit others with similar identities.

That’s why I’ve started this blog – I wanted to use my own background and challenges to support others. I want people to know that they’re not alone, and that mental health is not linear. We all have our own identities and our own mental health needs. This blog is just one story out of many. 

Don’t worry, it won’t all be doom and gloom. I want to also celebrate the stuff that brightens my day.  My passions, like filmmaking, rollerblading and travelling. To be honest about mental health, you need to talk about the good stuff too. 

So welcome to my blog and I hope you enjoy reading it. I’m looking forward to you joining me on my journey to a better, fulfilled life.
