About:

10 Things I Hate About Me is a new musical dramedy about mental health, which explores the every-days of living with a mental health disorder. Following a suicide attempt, our main protagonist, Saffy, ends up in a psych ward. The musical follows Saffy through her recovery as she falls in love with her hospital roommate, Mallory.

10 Things I Hate About Me hopes to show that successful recovery from a mental illness isn't an anomaly or a fluke or out of the question, but is something that any person suffering from any mental illness can and will achieve.

Writer's Statement:

Being a passionate mental health advocate, I want to expand the conversation surrounding mental health to include more in-depth and honest discussions about recovery. Whilst we have dramatically progressed in the way in which we address and talk about mental health in our modern society, recovery is rarely mentioned in such discussions. Despite being the most important step in changing one's life for the better, recovery from a mental illness is a painful, long and nonlinear process and many enter into a recovery system that has no outline, prospects or end in sight. This is one of the many reasons as to why individuals are unable to carry out or finish their journey of recovery.

​This musical is my passion project, which I hope will facilitate change in how we talk about mental health recovery. We need to start having those hard conversations about the challenges that come with recovery, including and not limited to longevity, pain and relapse. I hope to provide insight into both the challenges as well as the positives, which allow those suffering from a mental illness to find a new sense of hope and a way of living a happy and fulfilling life.
