I used to say, I have a #mentalillness.

NOW, it doesn’t define ME.

BUT, living with mental illness shaped me into WHO I am today!

AND, I’m so grateful for that!

BECAUSE, I believe there is a purpose for me yet! 💜

What #mentalillness can feel like.

🔑 I never needed to explain myself in the first place.

It’s not my job to make anybody else feel better about my mental health journey but @STANCEtoday is one way that can help yours.

#Mentalhealth #SuicidePrevention @ThePaintedBrain TY!

[Melodee Dahl @MelDahl03]

I felt inspired to see if we couldn’t shift the focus a bit and look for ways to spread #gratitude and #joy instead of #fear and #panic.

We all can relate to #COVID19 and we can all choose to find #gratitude & #joy amidst all the chaos.

I challenge y’all to share a pic or a video using the # above👆🏻

Let’s see if we can make that go viral!

@sirsaint63 Thanks!

#Mentalhealth challenges are like the hills I ride. Sometimes I have to go slow but remember that I’m still peddling. The both have taught me important lessons:
-life is precious, hold onto it
-focus only on what I want
-keep riding the hills

Turtle is my #RideOrDie 🤣

Different. One is only focused on the end game and the other is focused on the process.

What then, you’re the best🏆 now what?

When you aim for excellence, you are setting your ego aside in order for life to teach you - open to new possibilities and enjoy all of life!

[Will Bynum @WillBynumMD]

Agree or disagree:

Striving for excellence and striving to be the best are different things

@TreyStoneAuthor For Valentine’s I’ll have to get back and get some rest tomorrow morning thank you 🤣🤣🤣

Totally not me at ALL so I did it again-

For Valentine’s I’ll let you know when I’m done with you! 😆😆😂😂

I dunno where this all came from!

[Melodee Dahl @MelDahl03]

@dkane204 😆😆

If one doesn’t acknowledge ones pain...does it really exist? 🤔

[Melodee Dahl @MelDahl03]

@esfletcher @MRKistlerWrites 🤣🤣🤣

[Melodee Dahl @MelDahl03]

@MRKistlerWrites I love wonder thoughts like this! 😊
I still wonder and have fun like a kid but I get to whatever the hell I want now! 😆
Been in the club for a couple of years and every year gets better and better for me!
Anytime you wanna talk about anything & everything, let me know 😄

[Melodee Dahl @MelDahl03]

@RyanKmcleod @dkane204 That effort always counts! Good job! 😆

[Melodee Dahl @MelDahl03]

@WriteStep Lol- thanks! It was made over a year ago but what I forgot to mention was that now I was using it to bring awareness to mental health 💁🏼‍♀️

That moving is so healthy for not only our physical bodies but for our mental and emotional wellbeing.
