Home again, home again. Worn the f out, empty bones sort of feeling, but accomplished too. Managed to get in to see my doctor for the first time in 3 years. Still a little shaky, but I attribute that to just being around a lot of strangers in familiar spaces. #MentalHealth #Personal

A bit of mindfulness. Thank you for being here, keep going! #mentalhealth

Hi folks, sorry I've been so quiet lately. This holiday season, all the way until after January tends to be the hardest for me. My mother loved this season, she celebrated all of it with such enthusiasm, but she's been gone from this mortal coil since 2004. I suppose it's SAD's I could be mistaken but I try to be more gentle with myself and more conscious of the amount of time and self care I give to myself as a result of this awareness. #Checkingin #MentalHealth

So a quick heads up, yes I am alright, I'm a bit empty of spoons and probably will be for a couple days - in the meantime of recouping I may be posting coloring pages that I'm working on to pass the time and give my brain a much needed vacation/critical break that I need. I won't be cutting anyone off or ignoring messages, but I figured it would be good to let everyone know that yes, I'm taking care of myself and doing what I can to keep my head up. #MentalHealth #CoSoArt

Oh, and a mutual aid thing I started on City of Heroes is up and ready for folks in need. *Yeah I've been a busy bee lately. I'll get back to art again soon, this has been my self care week, and taking care of my communities I'm part of, is part of my self care.* #Gaming #Mentalhealth

Early therapy appointment today, moved up cause of family of the therapist being in friday to visit. I'm pretty proud of myself for sticking with this and getting through each session. It's been hard, we've hit some serious barriers in a few sessions but my therapist has been right there with me, helping me work through the worst of it and guiding me through working it all out. We honestly need more therapists like mine in the medical circles. A lot more. #Mentalhealth

*sighs.* As someone with mental health problems, I absolutely resent Ezra Miller and their abuse of privledge as an affluent actor in the movie industry. (Current or past, doesn't matter with my point here.) I resent the fact that this person has perpetuated crimes and NO ONE has stepped up to stop them, or arrest them or separate them from their targets. This is why mental health patients get such a bad rap from the public. #MentalHealth https://jezebel.com/ezra-miller-s-behavior-is-reportedly-getting-more-dange-1849373329

Spotted this and thought to share. It's quite true in regards to self growth and maturity. #Mentalhealth #PersonalGrowth

Wise advice. #MentalHealth

Also, for some positivity for the creatives on here. #MentalHealth #Positivity

Self love counts as Self care. #MentalHealth I spotted this from a positive-minded friend of mine on twitter and felt the need to share. You do deserve the love that you feed to others, don't be afraid to give that to yourself today.

Communication matters. Tips for validating anger expression positively. Leave them room to speak, but don't ignore them, listen and I do mean really listen to what they have to say before you speak in turn. #MentalHealth

No one should judge you based on what you are and are not capable of. Taking care of yourself is an achievement and progress step to celebrate. #MentalHealth

Because too many people miss it. #MentalHealth

This was shared on my FB and I have to copy my reply to the post.
"Honestly, yeah, this is something a lot of people struggle with today. Our society pushes a narrative that is both harmful, and deadly for young folks, and most adults kind of get into a DGAF standard for their own physical beauty simply cause we battled out and won against what we viewed was "modern beauty" standards."
Fuck beauty standards, you are all beautiful, deserving of love, and worthy. #MentalHealth #PhysicalHealth
