About The D

I recently had some experiences that shook my pretty hard when it comes to me mental illness. That being depression, anxiety, odc, etc. I feel apart emotionally and became very self destructive and suicidal for a time. When I came out the other side, this is what came to me. I'd decided "I'm F'N off" A public decoration that I'm mentally ill and that's ok. It carries another meaning as well. "Im F'N off" is also what I'm doing this summer. I've decided to do a thru-hike of The Great Trail in my home province of Nova Scotia Canada and raise money for mental illness while I'm out there. Half the profits will go towards keep me on the trail while the other half will go towards helping people with mental illness (charity 50%)

The 2nd thing that came ot me is "Im F'N done" This one relates to an aspect of your life that you'd like or need to change. For me it's not allowing myself to feel that much. I always thought before, the best way to control my mental illness was to control my emotions; not allow myself to feel things that deep. By staying "level" I could stay somewhat normal/in control of my life. But all that did was make it far worse. When I did have feelings for someone and I let them get away/loose/twisted in my head. Somehow I let what might have been a deep, personal connection get mixed in with feelings of lust and it all went off the rails, along with me. So going forward in my life I'm making a concretive effort to allow myself to feel things more fully. Good, bad, whatever they are. I'm sorry for I felt about someone, my only regret is how I handled it. As with the 1st one this one has another meaning as well. "Im F'N done" declares that your done turning a blind eye to what's wrong with society and the world. No more standing by while a man like George Floyd dies under an cops knee for 8:46secs. More or bigotry, no more gay bashing, no more of anything of the things that we all know are wrong, but continue to do/witness everyday. And perhaps the most important one... no more hate. Listen, don't yell. Everyone has something to say if given half a chance.

The 3rd and final one declares "Im F'N out" If you find yourself in a toxic relationship be it marriage, bf/gf, best friend, co-worker, whatever it might be, get out! You'll know if your in one most likely from everyone else around you in your life and their reactions. It's hard to move on and start over, but staying means it is over, for you. You can forgive someone for anything, but you should also let them go for you. And as with the previous 2 this one has a 2nd meaning as well "Im F'N out" Gay pride. For all those in the LGTBQ who are happy with themselves and want to show others that there's nothing wrong with being who you are. Your best self. Whatever that means to you.

By in large the "Im F'N" line of merch is about reducing the stigma around mental illness and reaching out to those in need. Being different shouldn't be a stigma. We all need some help some times and should feel it's ok and ok to ask for help.
