Why did I choose the name and, therefore, the metaphor behind Empty Boxes?
You might have heard it before. You lock your problems, hurt and trauma away in a box in the loft and try to forget it's there. When mental health hits you, it is sometimes because you locked the trauma away in that metaphoric box in the loft that is your mind. Those boxes start to leak into your daily thoughts, and the longer you leave before dealing with them, the harder it is to fix them.
Someone with good mental health might face the problems head-on. Someone with bad mental health might pretend it's not there and try to move on.
The idea of Empty Boxes is to always have a community and support team to listen, help and support.
No trauma, hurt or problem needs to go into a box... Ever!
