This is what it's all about. I share my story for 2 reasons:
1. Because it's part of my healing journey
2. To help others https://t.co/nGJWKIxXXp

You know how you have those days where you say to yourself, "Today really sucked, but tomorrow will be better."

[MentalHealthMatters @HopeForMH]

Is there one on this list that jumps out to you?

[MentalHealthMatters @HopeForMH]

Have you heard of cognitive distortions? We all struggle with them from time to time. The good news is that you can do something about it.

If someone you know tells you they’ve been thinking about suicide, don’t forget to take the last step and #BeThe1To follow up with them. It can make all the difference. #SPM20

Some people are experiencing new emotions and feelings because of the pandemic. Make sure to check in on your #mentalhealth at https://t.co/BNnqqu0q35 regularly in case what you are experiencing are symptoms of a mental health condition. #CopingDuringCOVID #BackToSchool2020

The National Suicide Hotline Designation Act passed the House! 🎉

Because the House passed the Senate version of the bill, it goes straight to the President's desk.

Thank you everyone for keeping the pressure on your representatives. Advocacy works! #ActB4Stage4

[Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson @RepEBJ]

So proud to announce that the National Suicide Hotline Designation Act has passed the House this afternoon! Enacting 988 for the national suicide prevention lifeline will SAVE LIVES, and I sincerely thank my colleagues for their partnership on this incredible effort #988cantwait

Good morning! ☀️ Just a reminder that mental health conditions are not adjectives:

🚫"You're being so OCD"
🚫"She can't make up her mind, she's so bipolar"
🚫"He's such a psycho"

Think before you speak! The way we talk about mental health matters 💚

[NAMI @NAMICommunicate]

A person in a mental health crisis needs help, not handcuffs. Today is the National Day of Action to make 9-8-8, a nationwide number for mental health crises and suicide prevention, a reality. We need your help to tell Congress #988CantWait

“Social distancing shouldn’t be called social distancing, it should be called physical distancing, and we should remain socially connected. There are lots of tools for doing that.”

Tip #4 for managing your news intake:

Schedule time every single day to truly unplug, even if it's just for 30 minute increments.

[Stamp Out Stigma @StampStigma]

A5: Social distancing can be difficult for those with mental illness. Try changing your expectations, managing your news intake, setting up a time to video chat or call friends or family each day and making it a part of your routine. #NotAloneChat

You are more than a character whose lines can be studied and rehearsed. You are more than a passing thought or a backdrop. You are central to this story in more ways than you’ve allowed yourself to believe.

Everyone likes online tests, so here's an important one, especially as it relates to overall health and #SDoH.

There will be 10 questions. Give yourself 1 point for each yes and I'll share what it means at the end, as well as resources to learn more.

We want to remind you that your journey is your own. You do not need to compete or keep up with anyone else. Go at your own pace.

“If you're really listening, if you're awake to the poignant beauty of the world, your heart breaks regularly. In fact, your heart is made to break; its purpose is to burst open again and again so that it can hold evermore wonders.”
