This week I continued looking into different mental illnesses and writing down things appear within these illnesses. After writing these onto some post-its I grouped them together gathering key issues people deal with, including irritability, restlessness and feelings of loneliness/isolation. Taking this further I focused on loneliness/isolation, asking those around me to help generate thoughts and feelings about this. I then grouped these again breaking down the topic of isolation/loneliness into three subcategories internal, external and feelings.
In the coming week I intend to look into this topic in more detail. I think this topic would be an ideal route to explore as it plays a big part in affecting mental illness and because it can link with anyone, even those without a mental illness.
