I’m Mathew, and I love to write. Before starting this site, I was a long-term functioning depressive, that is, I lived so long with depression, anxiety, and huge self-doubt that it became normal. But I found a way to take the first step, but it was one worth taking.
It was during my Master's Degree at Hull University that the idea for this study came to mind. I’d begun a new novel, Mind Cloud, in which I wanted to explore a future where our minds are controlled by others for their own purposes. I had recently been furloughed and was spending too much time alone in my own thoughts, unconstrained. Not good, I know. And yet in the depths of it all, the idea took root. Despite my best efforts to sabotage myself, I managed to get it done.
I later progressed to becoming a PhD researcher at Loughborough University, which led to the creation of this website. So my study became official.
