Hi, I’m Nicole and I go by Sunnie online. I own and operate The Genuine Project. This will be a place of kindness, positivity, and real talk about mental health. A mix of light and dark to match us all 💛
Sometimes you wake up & your room is quiet & the bed is soft and you think to yourself, I need a freaking shower but at least I feel good today.
Not even a joke, if I am aware of my other physical needs, I know I’m back on track. Check in! #MinorityMentalHealthMonth
Sometimes the really bad days make the good days feel like you’re standing in a burst of extreme sunshine ☀️ like the joy of surviving the darkness is almost excruciatingly wonderful & those are the days that keep me going. Because there’s always a good day #MentalHealthMatters
Today, I’m going to drink water because it’s 109 degrees and push through the day. I’m kinda meh mentally which is always my alert that a depressive wave may be coming. Check in on yourself. Your mental health fluctuates just like your physical.
im not a mental health survivor im just a nigga who know articulate my feelings so im honest bout it but i still struggle with this shit every single day, in june i barely ate a meal a day, i couldnt sleep without pills. im still figuring this shit out please understand that
As we hit the weekend and you find yourself not feeling up to anything, it’s okay. Take time for yourself and do the little things that bring you peace. Be kind to yourself. #MentalHealthMatters
For anyone entering the weekend but not feeling their mental health is good, please speak to someone, a friend or a support line. You are not alone. #MentalHealthMatters
u ever get in these moods where u absolutely have to compliment every single person u see because u need them to feel happy and know they r beautiful and cool yea that’s me this entire year
I suppose I’ll just try and see. What’s important is that I’m here in my little space on the internet, talking about depression and other mental stigmas and also reminding people that they’re beautiful even when everything feels ugly.
Because I’m just trying to make things comfortable. It’s like I bought a new house and I’m picking out furniture and where to place things so people can be cozy when they visit.
Be* — also torn between using the royal we to reference my company or just “I”....sorry, this is stuff I’m legitimately thinking about and I don’t care if people see me trying to put things in the right place.
I’m trying to figure out a balance between wanting to make serious commentary and also trying to just being a cheerful place when things really suck. I hope I succeed. I hope to be a place for people.
