I haven’t posted about my book in a while (I’m bad at self-promotion 😅) but I had an idea 🥰

Anyone who buys my book this weekend (through the 20th) whether through me or Amazon, will be entered into a drawing for a code for the audiobook FREE 💚 see info below 👇 #mentalhealth

Did y’all know I did a TEDx almost two years ago? I cannot believe it’s been that long but I’m beyond proud of it!

Language has dramatically evolved since then but this is still something which needs to be watched to end stigma (IMHO) link below 👇

Forgiving yourself

I more than likely will never forgive the people who did what they did to me, how could I? What they did to me was disgusting, they don’t deserve forgiveness

But what I did do was finally forgive myself bc I wasn’t the problem & it wasn’t my fault

“This new program is going to be amazing”

But we aren’t going to ask people with any of the actual problems this program is going to serve. We are only going to assume we know what’s best for them and how this is going to make everything better

Just don’t

People who have the truth on their side don’t need “hypothetical situations” because they have the truth. They share the truth and the truth never changes

People who need hypotheticals are the ones who lie and cheat, needing to hide the truth or silence the one sharing the truth #mentalhealth

People need to get mad abt things that matter, pushing for causes which will help better the lives of people & our future generations

Not settling scores & tearing people down, fixating on getting even. People need to step back & reflect on the importance of their actions #mentalhealth #advocacy

Being hospitalized for any mental health issue isn’t great, for anyone, I seriously wish it upon no one

I’ve been inpatient & my own experience though not as bad as others, I still wouldn’t want to do it again

I struggle with takes like “it’s better than the alternative” ???? #mentalhealth

1500 days ago, I decided to stop drinking

That’s 1500 days of doing better for myself. Choosing me over drinking. Choosing my mental health over alcohol. Best choice each day when I stay sober

Seeing a lot abt ADHD recently bc I think someone said something absurd abt it (unsurprising 🙃)

It exists, it’s real, my brain didn’t decide to make my life a living hell for no apparent reason

Others out there don’t like different, but that’s okay bc being different is okay

“Special needs” is such a derogatory way of saying someone might need accommodations or better accessibility

Special needs is gross & shouldn’t be used in reference to better accommodations for the medical needs of others

I’m at a loss for what to share over here, haha, not that it should be hard

I could literally copy & paste what I share from one to the other & Vice versa but that feels so “fake” 🤣

What do I do?

I raise awareness abt mental health, stigma & discrimination. After I was discriminated against for my own mental health I knew I needed to do something abt it so I came to SM (mostly Twitter) to start raising awareness! I help others navigate this world bc it’s not made for us
