!!!! TRIGGER WARNING !!!

The Madman Our story – Part 1.

I need to make it clear what my point is with this message. This is a story of a lost generation, a troubled mind, a voice inside – a faded life.

I have learnt many things since my breakdown. The most important parts of what I have learnt are in the story I am about to tell. To portray a story of fact, I can not miss out any of the key elements. For you, I am unable to distort the truth to spare your feelings – everything you are about to see is true to my life story – which I came to realise, is our life story.

Everyone involved in the making of this story are family and friends – they are loved ones. They fully understood and related to what it was I was trying to achieve. To all of you, I give the deepest of thanks.

The characters are all based on true stories and it is their external traumas in life which bring me to the point: We all struggle through life. Our situations vary, but there is one factor that unites us in this devastating situation they call mental health and it’s this… You have a voice inside your head. Telling you stories, feeding you lies. It is this voice, which you know best as ‘your thoughts.’ This inner dialogue triggered the deep inspiration for what you are about to see.

It is a story of the battle inside us all, between ‘The Voice of Reason’ and ‘The Madman’…who wins? Only we can decide.
