There are now 44 blogs I have written across 7 years of writing The Teal Tiger. The blogs document how I have suffered from Psychosis, recovery and relapse and admission to Inpatient settings and Community settings. The blogs also document gaining a Psychology degree, training and working as a mental health nurse, expert by experience, working as a PhD Psychology student and going on to become Assistant Professor in Lived Experience Research. If you are interested in understanding the experience of Psychosis and The Teal Tiger’s road to recovery, from psychosis to psychology, consider reading these blogs.
