SickNotWeak

We help people understand that mental illness is a sickness, not a weakness. Founded by @HeyLandsberg, we are a statement, a community, a movement. #SickNotWeak

[SickNotWeak @SickNotWeak]

You are not alone in this community or the community where you live. Help #EndTheStigma by organizing your own event, and bring @heylandsberg along with you. Contact us today at [email protected] to get started.

You don't owe anyone an explanation for having a hard day.

You don't have to justify your feelings, find the right words, or pretend you're okay.

Some days are just hard. That's enough.

@prplegreendream @DallasStars You deserve support, even when it feels like nothing is changing. If you’re thinking about suicide, please reach out to someone who can support you. In Canada, you can call or text 988 for suicide crisis support.

[SickNotWeak @SickNotWeak]

You don’t have to do more, be more, or pretend you’re okay to matter.

You deserve kindness, connection, and support, even on the hard days.

We’re grateful you’re here. Just as you are. 💙

@wendyevaK Recognizing that moment and knowing it was time to reach out takes incredible strength. When things get that dark, it can be hard to see a way forward. Thank you for sharing this with us. 💙

[SickNotWeak @SickNotWeak]

Finish the sentence: “I knew I needed help when…”

There’s no single moment that tells you it’s time to reach out. You don’t have to wait until things get worse to deserve support.

If you’re comfortable sharing, your story might help someone feel less alone.

@KeeganRFM Recognizing it and reaching out = #RealStrength

A good day doesn’t mean every day will be easy. Hard days will come, too. That doesn’t mean you’re losing progress.

Enjoy the good days. Give yourself grace on the hard ones.

#SickNotWeak #MentalHealthMatters

[SickNotWeak @SickNotWeak]

Some thoughts are loud. Some days feel heavier than others. You don’t have to believe every thought or fight every feeling. Sometimes, you can acknowledge it and let it pass. One moment at a time. 💚

Depression can make your world feel smaller, making it easy to focus on everything you can’t do instead of what you still can.

A diagnosis doesn’t define you.

Sometimes the first approach doesn’t fit.

One difficult experience with therapy doesn’t mean support isn’t out there. Different therapists and approaches work for different people.

Finding the right support can take time.

“Lived Experiences Heard: Real Voices, Real Change.”

This year’s #WorldMentalHealthDay theme reminds us that people living with mental illness don't just have stories to tell. They have knowledge.

Listen. Learn. Act.

How many times have you typed the message… and deleted it?

“I’m not doing well.”

“Can I talk to you?”

Sometimes sending those words is the hardest part.

What helped you finally reach out?

No advice. No fixing. Just your experience.

@JimBiringer @KendraMiddleton @Ted_X @FP_Coverage @iglen31 @FullPressNFL @2beerspodcast @Tan12489 @Mr1stDown It takes real strength to recognize when you need to step away to protect your mental health. #SickNotWeak

[SickNotWeak @SickNotWeak]

You can be struggling and still show up.

Go to work. Make plans. Laugh. Take care of everyone else. Say, “I'm good.”

Mental illness doesn't always look like what people expect.

Looking okay doesn't mean you're okay. So be kind.

Mental health treatment isn’t one-size-fits-all.

Medication can be an important part of treatment, but there are other approaches worth understanding too.

Learn more from @AMIQuebec at their Mental Health Forum on October 29.

Medication is one treatment for mental illness, but it's far from the only one. Learn what interventions like nutrition, sleep, exercise, and ketogenic therapy can and can't do at AMI's Mental Health Forum on Oct 29, in person in Montreal or online: https://t.co/zAZqOuxzmO

@MrDaveMur @heylandsberg This means a lot- thank you for helping us share our message! Mental illness can be so isolating, and knowing you’re not alone can make a real difference. We’re grateful to everyone who helps make #SickNotWeak a place where people can show up as they are. 💙

[SickNotWeak @SickNotWeak]

Finding the right treatment can take time.

If something isn’t working, that doesn’t mean you’ve failed. Sometimes, finding what works means trying something different.

Keep going. Keep asking questions.

You’re worth the effort.

#SickNotWeak #MIAW2026

[SickNotWeak @SickNotWeak]

Sometimes people say things because they want to help.

But good intentions don't always make the words helpful.

“You seem fine.”

“Just focus on the positive.”

Sometimes you don't need someone to fix it.

You need someone to listen.

How many times have you told yourself, “It’s not that bad”?

You don’t have to be at your lowest point to deserve support. Sometimes recognizing that you’re struggling is enough.

What makes it hard to reach out when you know you could use some help?
