TiNMAN is a freely available people-first analytics resource that prioritises online confidentiality with an exceptionally high level of anonymity that requires no personally-identifying information from its users.

Securely hosted and managed in the United Kingdom, TiNMAN is the result of cross-functional collaboration between healthcare, education and creative professionals, all with significant relevant lived experience. TiNMAN's core purpose is to take self-assessments of complex conditions, deconstruct them, then present their many component parts as easy-to-use visual guides that build over time and can help to

• replace uncertainty with improved clarity
• increase knowledge and understanding
• uncover hidden connections
• support positive longer-term development and quality of life.

Creating your own profile is risk-free and as easy as selecting a set of screening questions then following some simple instructions. Logging-in requires no more than clicking a unique link that you will automatically be issued with and your post-assessment results are always available on-screen.

Adenomyosis and endometriosis

These distinct and painful gynecological conditions can have a profoundly debilitating impact on any woman with a womb who is of reproductive-age. It is possible to suffer singly from adenomyosis or endometriosis or have them both at the same time. You can tap this link to study the question set, which will open in a new browser window. If you are affected by either adenomyosis or endometriosis then TiNMAN's exploration, focusing on core and overlapping symptoms, overlapping conditions, and personal wellbeing, could help bring you new-found clarity and legitimacy.

Why build TiNMAN? It's a long story that starts a long time ago in a land far away, that being 2nd September 1965 at King Street Maternity Hospital in Watford, Hertfordshire when, three weeks overdue, I eventually made my grand entrance. Apparently one of my grandmothers was quoted as saying, "It must be a boy because he's too lazy to come out!" I grew up in and around south-west Hertfordshire and, unlike most of the people I knew who sided with bigger clubs elsewhere - we call them gloryhunters - I still support Watford Football Club, even though they've never won a trophy that I'm aware of.

I was a disruptive schoolboy and often in trouble. At a point approaching my teens I was sent to a boarding school. In those days caning naughty boys was actively encouraged. I was a pretty little boy and the word "paedophile" was not in the common vernacular. By the time I left there I hated school with a vengeance. Next stop was a good school but I was not a good pupil and I left by personal choice at sixteen, being officially kicked out a little while later after playing constant truant. Nobody had doubted my intellectual ability to go far but I was glad to be out of it and away from being surrounded by people.

Over the next few years I worked at number of jobs. Along the way I drifted into management but couldn't cope with the constancy of having people around me. Two good things came out if it though, I discovered computers and turned out to have a capacity to work very quickly with numbers in a creative way. I spent some years drifting along as a tanker driver but in the late nineties and catching a glimpse of the future, I took the plunge, bought a computer, and set about teaching myself how to code.

I moved to Northumberland at the turn of the century. A beautiful place but my hopes never matched my reality. I increasingly struggled with my "mental health" and it always felt like a very slow dive into a bottomless abyss. I started to unravel and in early 2017 had a full emotional breakdown followed by a suicide attempt courtesy of the North Sea. A bleak experience and I've never been sure if I failed or succeeded by surviving it. Either way, it took months to get back into the world. Medical intervention centred on mind-altering drugs and phone numbers if I wanted to talk to some random voice. There is no cure for the person I am and, after a fair bit of consideration, I refused the drugs. Not submitting to being controlled, I was cut adrift. Further experiences of the gulf between national and notional healthcare a few years later have cemented my opinion that we have a criminally dysfunctional health service that seems to have forgotten who and what it exists for. I realised that, however clichéd it sounds, sometimes you really do have to be the change you want to see in the world.

I'd been working quietly on an idea but wasn't really sure who it was for. My breakdown turned out to be my blinding light moment. Since then the years have rolled by and not always been kind but, as a famous scientist once said, "You only fail when you stop trying." I have no idea how many thousands of hours have been spent building every idea and testing it to get to the essence of what's needed. Far more has been cast aside than remains, but now it's done and I cannot thank enough the many people who gave up their time, expertise and experiences to help make this happen. You all know who you are. What remains is right and good and available for everyone to use and feel safe when doing so. Although it may not always seem like it, there really is more to life than money, once described by a wise man as a poor way to keep score!

Of course, you don't know me and I have to earn your trust. As I've journeyed through life I've always been open and truthful, probably too much so at times. I've met so many people carrying terrible inner pain and deserving of help but who were instead treated with ignorance and contempt. Those people have been a source of great inspiration, kindness and encouragement to me. Those people are why I built TiNMAN. To those people and every one of you who is like them, you are not always alone and I am proud of you all. TiNMAN is offered as an honest piece of people-first work with no money required to use it, no personal information required to access it, and no fear of being judged or persecuted ... and I still have no idea why I called it TiNMAN.

I wish you well
