PSA: Your thoughts are not facts.

Remind yourself of that next time the voice in your head tells you you're not good enough. That couldn't be farther from the truth.

Maybe you needed to make that mistake now, so you didn't have to make it later...

Hey bud.
I found this note and thought I'd leave it here for ya :)

"Your experiences and emotions are valid. You are worthy of respect." -- ❤️

Healing can be incredibly difficult. You should be proud of yourself for continuing to do the work and how far you've come because of it 🖤 #mentalhealth

Kids always want their children to go to therapy until they learn that we will teach their kids how to set boundaries, advocate for themselves, and properly express their emotions 😅🤷🏻‍♀️#mentalhealth #children

If you choose to share your story, it should be because you want to. Not because someone needs to hear the details to believe the things you've been through. #mentalhealth

For anyone who needs to hear this:
You don't owe ANYONE the story of your trauma -- and being asked to relive it for THEIR benefit is insulting and inexcusable. #mentalhealth

You can be optimistic about a situation and still recognize how shitty it is. Validating negative emotions and having a positive outlook aren't mutually exclusive. #toxicpositivity #mentalhealth

Being a good listener is a skill. Being a good communicator is a skill. We aren't born with these things, we have to work on them. #mentalhealth #growth

The worst part of having a chronic illness is not having the capacity to do everything you want to do #spoonie #mentalhealth

[Hillary May @BraveSpaceDE]

Expecting someone with mental illness to be able to 'just change their thinking' is just as ridiculous as expecting someone with diabetes to 'just produce insulin properly.'
Both are diseases, causing issues with an organ, resulting in symptoms. End of story. #mentalhealth

What your feeling isn't bad or wrong, but how you express that feeling might be.

Read that again.

Did you know panic attacks and anxiety are actually different? Panic attacks are usually sudden, intense, and unprovoked while anxiety builds more gradually and often has triggers. These two go hand in hand a lot but they are not the same thing! #mentalhealth #themoreyouknow
