hello, I’m Anna. I'm a poet. I live in Bristol in the UK. I am passionate about open and honest dialogue regarding mental health; there is still such a blanket of shame smothering the topic and so many of us fight a battle just to keep ourselves alive. I have BPD, complex PTSD and ME as well as a chronic pain condition, which makes day to day life more challenging than I would really like. Although I am much more than my illness it still has an impact and that can be pretty exhausting. I hope that my writing may help others that are struggling feel seen. I have two amazing children, who give me a reason to keep fighting, and more love than I ever thought possible. I write about hope a lot, to remind me to reach for it, to hold it in my hands, to feel its weight and its softness and its warmth.
