Our Story: From a Single Spark
In My Head didn’t start in a boardroom; it started in the quiet, difficult moments of recovery.
In October 2025, our founder, SecretBipolar, experienced a severe mental health relapse. During the long road of recovery that followed (which is still ongoing today!), they reached for a "no-brainer" tool: creative therapy. With over 20 years of experience building online communities, SecretBipolar realized that the best way to heal was to build a place where others could do the same.
Soon after, LippyRaRa joined the mission. Like many of you, both of our founders live with their own mental health diagnoses. They knew that by combining technical "know-how" with real-life experience, they could create something of true value.
Our goal is simple:
Because we’ve been there ourselves, we take your safety personally. In My Head is a place for non-urgent emotional support and sharing.
We aren't a crisis service, which is why you’ll see a red banner at the top of every page. That link is always there to guide you to urgent help if things get too heavy. Our community rules aren't just "red tape"—they are the guardrails we use to keep this space kind, supportive, and safe for everyone.
