A platform for the mentally ill
Scroll to enter
We Are The Galaxy is a platform for mentally ill people in tech, business, and art to speak — not in spite of their diagnosis, but through it.
We don't want your recovery arc. We don't want your inspiration porn. We want your actual experience: what it costs to build something when your brain is fighting you, what it produces, and what gets made that wouldn't exist any other way.
This is not a support group. This is a record of what we do.
These are people who kept building. Read what it actually cost them.
Founder, We Are The Galaxy — Boise, Idaho
"The mentally ill deserve sutures and scar tissue. Not tape and glue. Not a constant weak effort. Something that actually closes."
Poet. Builder. Schizoaffective. 22 years navigating psychiatric systems from the inside out. He built Suture — a trauma-informed AI companion that helps people living with psychosis-spectrum illnesses to be able to live more comfortably. He has 6,500 posts on Facebook, a half-finished novel, and a political philosophy degree. He is ever so tired of mortal form, but also ever so determined not to die by his own hand. You can reach him at [email protected] for inquiries or feedback.

You don't have to be healed to speak here. You don't have to frame your illness as a journey with a destination. You can still be in it. You can be making something anyway. That's the story we want.
We don't publish your DSM code. We publish your work and your words. Your diagnosis is context, not credential. The goal isn't to be legible to a system — it's to be heard by people who know exactly what you mean.
We are not here to make mentally ill people palatable to neurotypical professionals. We are here to turn up the volume on what mentally ill people are already saying — in their own language, at their own decibel.
We're actively collecting voices for our launch cohort. If you're mentally ill and working in tech, business, art, science, or anything else that makes things — we want to publish you. Fill this out and we'll be in touch within two weeks.
