Thanks to the CJI for the nod to support mental health for queer people. We will need that.

@DrMarinaHarris "You are telling me a lot about the others in your life. What about yourself? What did you notice about yourself"

Is CBT really the gold standard?

[Prof James Davies 💭 @JDaviesPhD]

The greatest threats to mental health:

poverty
inequality
social injustice
abuse
trauma
discrimination (of all kinds)
neoliberalism
poor relationships, diet, exercise
social exclusion
materialism
prejudice
loneliness
iatrogenesis
individualism
meaninglessness

What did I miss?

A great thread on what is therapy :)

[Jonathan Shedler @JonathanShedler]

1/5 The goal of psychotherapy is to insert spaces for reflection where they have not previously existed and thereby create opportunities to know ourselves more fully, connect with others more deeply, and live life more congruently.

@rbinducpm Thank you for giving voice to this. Marginalized communities need more allies

[InnerSight Counselling and Training Center LLP @InnerSight_in]

Enough with the "Miniscule minority" argument already! We heard it on 11-12-13 and kicked it out. No majority should have the space to take away any rights of any minority.

Bar Council urges SC not to hear same-sex marriage case, says 99% Indians opposed to it!

Gentlemen - have you truly lost your minds? You are oath bound to protect constitutional morality, not popular sentiment. Even if 1 person’s freedom is encroached on, SC bound to hear it.

[InnerSight Counselling and Training Center LLP @InnerSight_in]

@netshrink Especially when being marginalized is a major factor in diminishing mental health!

What you pay attention to decides whether you are becoming wiser, or more ignorant?

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

Knowledge isn't free. You have to pay attention.

[InnerSight Counselling and Training Center LLP @InnerSight_in]

@netshrink Queer people are out there when it comes to supporting others, though it might be a different intersection of queer people each time with some overlap. Whether it is rights of commercial sex workers, or a vegan market, or wildlife conservation

Final hearings on #marriageequality before the Supreme Court, all lgbtqi+ persons are happy and eagerly waiting for the victory. Im disappointed as to why don't you people have this much interest in #Horizontalreservationfortrans ,also our basic right. This is the privilege of your caste, class and power. #EqualityForAll

[InnerSight Counselling and Training Center LLP @InnerSight_in]

#MarriageEquality just because rights should not exclude any segment of population. Excluding sections of the society from any rights, only makes an unequal, unjust and unhealthy world. Thankful that the supreme court of India saw the pleas for equality worthy of this hearing.

Is anyone doing #AprilFoolsDay pranks, or is everyone feeling like there's enough happening IRL to bother with pranks? Do we bother with pranks only when we are in great #MentalHealth?

Why does Holi become unholy?

Two words: #ToxicMasculinity

[Gautam S. Mengle @NotMengele]

I was 7-8 years old when a group of drunk men from our building came to our door on #RangPanchami , ringing the bell incessantly, armed with water balloons and sprays. They knew my mother was a single mother. They saw the closed door. But they kept ringing and knocking.

Why does Holi become unholy?

[Ananya Chhaochharia (She/her) @ananyac05]

Holi in Benaras!

It was one of the most traumatic event in my adult life

When they release listicles on places to celebrate Holi, we women aren’t the target and I learnt that the hard way

In 2018, my male colleagues and I decided to drive down from Patna to Benaras

What is this obsession over strong or weak? We have a ton of other words. What if this had been:
"You can be a decisive person & ..."
Other words: #responsible/ #resourceful/ #productive/ #helpful.

Wish we'd get over the #strength/ #weakness debate in #MentalHealthAwareness

[NAMI @NAMICommunicate]

Two things can be true at the same time, you can be a "strong person" and still struggle with your mental health. Just remember there is help and support for you in your time of need.

Absolutely! Making #menstruation a mystery blue, or treating it as a minor inconvenience has hurt society. We need education for boys and men on how periods work, how bad it can get, and better communication all around

Sanitary napkin ads where women do kabaddi and long jump wearing white pants have done a lot of damage
