Mitch's mantra
Go Towards The Pain
Hey, I’m Mitch.
I want you to know that I understand how hard it can get.
I spent years hiding behind a 'high-functioning' smile, denying the painful truth that I
wasn’t okay. Beneath the surface was a chaotic minefield of complex mental illness,
fractured relationships, and an exhausting drive for perfection. One story changed my life
forever. I hope I can be that person, for you.
