let's have the kind of conversations about mental illness that you don't have with your therapist. • hosted by @kimberly_rolfs. • tuesdays!

when you're struggling with your mental health, the pressure to have a happy holiday can be intense. so here's your reminder: it is normal and okay if you're not doing well today! you are not alone, and it will pass. it's just another day! #wheresmymindpodcast

in close friendships, there are times when you need to come through for someone else, regardless of your own headspace, but if you are consistently having trouble setting boundaries, this may be really helpful! #wheresmymindpodcast

this applies to literally every single area of life. #wheresmymindpodcast

think about what kind of person you want to be, really! work-life balance is admirable. it's something to be proud of. you're a person, not a machine. don't forget that! listen to #wheresmymindpodcast on @Spotify, @ApplePodcasts, or at https://t.co/jOVrYePDt5!

you've come so far from where you were before. your past self would be proud of you. #wheresmymindpodcast

am i the only one that gets frustrated when people are uncomfortable with vulnerability? the next time someone confides in you, just listen to them. your connection will grow so much stronger, and they will feel so much more heard and understood. #wheresmymindpodcast

the more you learn to understand your brain, have compassion for it, and work with it, the easier it will be to cope with it.

take care of your brain. it's working hard to protect you. #wheresmymindpodcast

don't assume that just because someone loves you, they're going to understand what will help at any given moment. open communication is so important, and will only make those relationships - and you - stronger. #wheresmymindpodcast

sometimes you just have those days. winter and less daylight is hard for a lot of people. if you're feeling off for that reason or any other, you are not alone!

it's okay to just sit with it. you don't need to constantly trying to solve your sadness or figuring out how to get rid of it. it's okay to just be sad. it doesn't mean you're stuck in it forever. you can always try again tomorrow. #wheresmymindpodcast

a thanksgiving reminder that you do not have to take on the negative energy of people around you. happy thanksgiving from #wheresmymindpodcast!

[where's my mind @wheresmymindpod]

this time of year always makes me extremely nostalgic. but really, i'm doing the best i have been in a very, very long time. i'm home for thanksgiving now, and i feel stable enough and equipped with enough coping mechanisms to really enjoy it. #wheresmymindpodcast

i've been finding myself getting particularly depressed on weekends lately. these little tips are go-tos for me to make sure i'm able to start off the week on a strong foot. listen to #wheresmymindpodcast on @applepodcasts, @spotify, or at https://t.co/jOVrYePDt5!

even if nobody buys it, even if nobody likes it, even if people make fun of me or criticize me or tell me i'm doing it wrong. and this isn't just a message for artists, but for anyone. find what creating is to you, and keep doing it, no matter what. #wheresmymindpodcast

[where's my mind @wheresmymindpod]

i'm learning to be more selective with my energy. life's too short to prioritize things that don't make you better. #wheresmymindpodcast

[where's my mind @wheresmymindpod]

some things to remember if you're in the middle of a healing journey. you don't have to be perfect to have progressed. recovery is a road with a lot of twists and turns and hills and dips, but you are changing. you are getting better.

[where's my mind @wheresmymindpod]

if people are telling you you're too hard to love, those are not the kind of people you want around you. you want people who are going to see your whole heart and brain and the whole mess of you and love all of it. don't settle for anything less than that. #wheresmymindpodcast

[where's my mind @wheresmymindpod]

those aren't just words, they're actual disorders that affect people's abilities to live their lives. using them as a descriptor makes it harder for those people to be taken seriously, and for them to get adequate care and accommodation at school, at work, and in the world.

[where's my mind @wheresmymindpod]

if you have the emotional bandwidth for it today, try to really sit and listen to someone. those little connections are how we change the world. ❤️ #wheresmymindpodcast
