Say Something

Tackling the stigma of mental health via music, poetry & expression. Encouraging people to take the platform, say something, share your story & inspire others.

Sometimes you just have to tell your body "No":

- No to avoidance
- No to running away
- No to fighting the thoughts in your head
- No to the desire for certainty
- No to FEAR

Through this practice we retrain the body and address the root causes of suffering.

When the Nas’ have influenced my love for rhythm and poetry more than the Shakespeare’s, I refuse to allow poetry to be seen through a closed lens or those with middle class dialects and supposed authority over the English language dictating legitimate poetry #NationalPoetryDay

the older i get the more i can understand why people back in the old fairytale days would just fuck off and be a hermit in the woods. just chilling out in the middle of nowhere and occasionally telling random heroes cryptic shit. living the fucking dream

Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom to keep you grounded...

Depression is impossible to understand unless you have experienced it.Depression is a living hell upon earth. A nightmare

Why is it so much easier to care for others than it is to care for yourself?

[Say Something @saysomething235]

I wish I could give myself the connection I crave but it really is a 2 person equation.
One day I hope to find the person who understands me and is willing to rebuild my faith in human nature, compassion and kindness.
Until then it's down to me to build me up & that's terrifying

[Say Something @saysomething235]

I think there is a lot of value is genuine human connection and affection but it's so very hard when you want and fear it in equal measure #mentalhealth

[Say Something @saysomething235]

People say you have to love yourself first before you can accept and give love, such a depressing thought when you feel unable to love yourself. I believe someone else loving me would help my self esteem but equally realise that's not the correct route to fulfilment #MentalHealth

[Say Something @saysomething235]

It's so hard to accept love from others when suffering with anxiety. I over analyse everything, I'm distrustful of intentions. I'm guarded and yet vulnerable at the same time. #mentalhealth

[CrushAnxiety @CrushAnxietyNow]

When you fight your thoughts, struggle with them, label them as "wrong" or "bad" you're getting in the way of the healing that would naturally occur if you'd just calmly allow it all.

Recovery requires the self-discipline to train ourselves to resist the urge to fight.

[Lisa Turan CEO @cbitlisa]

I love the charity sector. The impact is empowering and purposeful. However, I am constantly frustrated by the way we are overlooked, undervalued and generally put down by other sectors. It takes strength, resilience & determination to survive in this sector- #charitytuesday
