Therapy is something that largely happens to us. Medications, too.
But what if healing asks for more?
What if you want wellbeing on your own terms?
​
When therapy or meds don’t help, aren’t there when you need them, or keep you stuck in the same cycle—where do you turn? And if you want to go deeper, the path outside the system isn’t always clear.
​
That’s where self-management comes in. It takes effort, but the rewards are life-changing. And it doesn’t mean giving up therapy or medication—you can build alongside them.
​
I know, because I’ve walked this road myself.
And I know how overwhelming it can feel.
That’s why I created this roadmap: to help you take charge of your own mental health.

We are rarely taught to manage our own mental health and wellbeing.
That changes now.
​
​Sorting my mental health out on my own wasn't something I foresaw, but it was a position I found myself in multiple times over. From enormous waiting times, to medications not working or a lack of available therapists, just a few of the problems that meant I came to learn the system couldn't always be relied upon.
​
I knew that in periods of wellness, I had to do everything in my power to educate and equip myself with as many well practised coping strategies as possible. It was the only way to free myself and put the power back in my own hands.
​
At the start, the hardest part was simply knowing where to begin. With so much information—and misinformation—it was overwhelming. I know many of us feel that way. ​​
​
But your journey can be different. I’ll share the signposts I wish I’d had.
Let's take the easier route
Walking alongside you
Because I've been there too
My mission here is simple:
1. To share information on mental health that gives you confidence and optimism
2. To offer you pathways to creating self-empowered mental wellbeing
3. For us to create a movement together #SeriouslySelfEmpowered
HELLO, I'M
Anna Rising
I'm a mental wellbeing coach and peer supporter, mental health activist, podcast host and founder of the
#SeriouslySelfEmpowered movement.
"I want you to know when it comes to living with mental health challenges, I can relate."
I share more of my story on my website, but my exposure to mental health began in childhood and deepened when I faced my own struggles in adolescence. Since my first diagnosis at 15, I’ve received several more, lived with Fibromyalgia, tried countless medications, and experienced a range of therapies—both as a patient and a professional. I’ve seen both the benefits and the limits of our current systems.
​
Today, I’m fully self-managed—no medication, no therapy—just practices that I’ve built for myself. It’s the place I always wanted to reach, and I know many of you long for the same.
​
After more than a decade of study, self-healing, and supporting others, I’m ready to contribute to the bigger changes I believe are needed. And I’m here with you.
