A little over two years ago, Sue Caulfield messaged me through Google Chat with an idea and a dilemma. After seeing some of my blog posts about my struggles with depression and talking with a number of other folks in student affairs struggling from mental illness, she felt that it was time to do something. Together, we developed the Committed eSeries on the Student Affairs Collective blog – a series of blog posts with drawings by Sue (or suedles) written by a number of people within the field of student affairs about their struggles with mental illness. We had no idea then that this small attempt to do something would have such a huge impact on our lives.
