Ona Haynes — Introduction

The best way to express the real me is through a few of
my early ramblings in this introduction. Then everyone
can decide if I am sane, need help or I am just an
eccentric artist with a lot of health issues, who I
perceive I am.

My blogs started in 2008 just as I was losing my job in
Social Work because of a nervous breakdown, it starts
with the 1st painting I ever sold (of the Neville Arms)
n then it’s just none stop.

Looks like that nervous breakdown, forced redundancy,
brink of bankruptcy and total implosion of my life
was the best thing that ever happened to me! "Of all
the things I've ever lost, I miss my mind the least."

My story is a frank and sometimes upsetting blog of my
daily life coping with Bi-Polar and mental issues. It
includes my fight with breast
cancer, my mastectomy,
reconstruction and recovery.

The first few blogs will set
the scene for you to decide
how my mind works or
maybe not.

The title of my favourite
Goth-Girl painting:
“It’s No Good to Me Now”
