If I had a million dollars to give away, who would I give it to?
Who would I give a million dollars to? My family might be surprised More likely shocked. #QOTD #milliondollars #heartdisease #cancer #mentalhealth #nationalmentalhealthday #selfcare #survivor #lostlove #sharingiscaring #bekind #kindness #perfectstorm
Remembering I am Kenough Daily Prompt is asking who I’d give it away to. Well sorry family and friends it wouldn’t go to any individuals. Last year was rough for me and I won’t rehash the past, but I’d give it away to charities. And although it wouldn’t go far, I’d split it between the three areas that affected my life last year. I’d begin with the American Heart Association. I’ve had heart…

#nationalmentalhealthday I watch my mother go through her undiagnosed MDD from her postpartum depression every day. I've watched her contemplate suicide. (I went into more depth if you check out my twitter and read it in my Dear Diary thread [teabights is my twitter]) I developed an unhealthy way of coping with my feelings because of my mother. One day, I got picked up from girl scout camp and her and my brother were arguing. I started crying because this was the first I got see them after 3 days. I got told by my mother that my feelings did not matter, I was 10. Ever since, my feelings have coped with in an unhealthy way. I eventually have developed depression. I have tried twice. From trying I am now claustrophobic and have to have air blowing on me when I sleep. I also suffer with loneliness from my best friend moving away and my inability to make friends (or my lack of trying.) I always think about God would never put you through something that you can't handle. Ever I have time of doubt I turn towards God for guidance. I have become so strong in my journy to better myself and focus on my life. My mental health does not define, but make me a part of who I am. And for those who read all this, please don't think of me any differently. I am just putting myself out there, becoming an open book, tearing down the walls.

Here I am with our friend, James Monroe Iglehart. Yes, the same amazing actor that currently plays both Lafayette and Jefferson in Hamilton. Watching our friend make his entrance as Jefferson and own the stage made the evening even more special. We finally got to have dinner with him and his brilliant and lovely wife. She’s a scientist, as in makes her living at it, as someone with a science degree that never managed that, I’m even more impressed. This evening was the beginning of keeping a promise to myself to have more fun to balance out the work schedule. It turns out that its National Mental Health Day, so a good day to share an evening of music, spectacle, friendship, food, and adding more joy to my life. Remember that whatever brings you comfort and joy - do more of that. It’s one of my goals for the year. Along with finishing the new book, and finishing edits on two other books. This is my first time adding fun, personal time as a goal, so far its harder than I thought, and a lot more fun. #blessedbe #lkh #laurellkhamilton #lkhamilton #hamilton #nationalmentalhealthday #happiness #happythoughts #newyork #broadway #musicaltheater #musical #music #jamesmonroeiglehart #beyourself #friends https://www.instagram.com/p/B3czLCPgSMm/?igshid=1grteru3606tb

You are validated. If you need a break and to go off by yourself because your anxiety is thumping in your ears. It's fine. If you need a hug and attention and someone to hold your hand I have two hands and two arms. It's fine to feel overwhelmed by anxiety and to just need a hug to calm down, I understand. If you wanna scream and cry and be loud because the day has been so frustrating and the noise has been horrible then we'll find the biggest room and you can just scream. If you want ice cream and quiet and movies then we don't even need a bowl and there is plenty of room and blankets.
Your anxiety is not something to ever be embarrassed about. The way you feel is valid, you do not need any reason to be human or to feel the way you do. As someone who shares the same feelings and as someone who faces anxiety and depression, I understand. Not everyone experiences problems the same way, but a lot of people face similar things. Be there for people who have anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, DID, or any other mental disorder. And allow people to be there for you, even if they don't deal with what you do let them in if they want to help. You are valid and your mental health is important.

National Mental Health Awareness Week
For a moment I’d like to discuss with you something I believe is a very important topic. A few days ago, on the 10th of this month it was world mental health day, and from the 6th to the 12th Australia has discussed National Mental Health Awareness Week.
Firstly, I’ll Discuss National Mental Health Day (Wednesday, Oct 10) as this is something that is acknowledged internationally. The World Health Organisation (WHO, 2019) defines this day to raise awareness of mental health related ailments internationally and assembling forms of supporting the overall mental health of individuals. This day encourages communities to discuss mental health and advocate mental health support programs, along with educating themselves and others in ways to help themselves and others when they are struggling.
The Mental Health Coalition of South Australia (2016) run events every year to promote mental health across the country and give people the option of attending these programs to improve their overall wellbeing. This year, various meetups occurred with activities such as forums, creative writing activities and festivals to better improve the community. Various advocates of mental health have access to registering their events and educate the community on various forms of mental health.
Whilst these programs are effective and have been utilised by many people over the years, it does not properly educate people on what mental health is.
Mental Health is often a term that is used to generalise mental disabilities such as depression and anxiety. However, this alone is not what mental health is. Mental health is a state of well-being and the overall state of how someone is feeling (Beyond blue, 2019). While this does cover mental disorders, that is simply acknowledging negative mental health and ignoring positive mental health.
This alone makes us realise how much we don’t know about mental health, what we are yet to learn. Mental health should be discussed as general well-being. Regarding improvement of negative mental health along with positive mental health. As many have discussed over the years, and as I believe quite strongly, this is not something that should be discussed only during these events. This is something that should be an everyday conversation. Although we have evolved over time and now discuss these things more openly in events such as World Mental Health Day, RUOK day and any other events that may occur internationally, there is still room for improvement.
Overall, I find this is something worth discussing. Although, I have only given a general background, I’ve done so to leave it open for discussion. I believe in advocating all forms of mental health as it is something that needs to be spoken about. Generally, I find if there is a certain topic that makes people uncomfortable to discuss, it’s not a conversation that occurs enough. Of course, there are exceptions to this thought. However, this is more-so regarding social issues (mental health, gun laws, substance abuse, etc).
Although Mental Health Awareness Week is coming to an end, the discussions should not. Mental health is very important and is vital to who we are as individuals. I’m sure there are many that might agree with me. I know there are people that believe the same, however do not have the courage to speak up. But this is a big part of what I do. I speak for those who cannot. I advocate what is important. And I do so by ensuring this topic is known and not disregarded.

Day 7- Exhausted 
I went a bit abstract with this prompt. It made me think of this quote I came across the other day. Conquering things takes a lot of energy and can be exhausting. 
Go conquer something today! Even if you think it is something as small as getting out of bed, it is a victory and should be celebrated.

So today is #nationalmentalhealthday so I'm gonna make a sappy personal poem kinda thing. When the demons starts to come around, it feels like theres no one to be found. When the light fades away, some of the life dies away. When I start to feel down, or like I'm a clown, I carry on without making a sound. There's not much going on in my life, but I can promise you that you're the light of my life. There's so many thoughts, but i have very little to say. I look at everything from the past to this very day. If I could tell that little girl who I once was to never change, I think I would tell her everything. From the present, to the past, I'd like to say this now, don't let life make you from a smile to a frown. #mentalhealthday2018 #mymentalhealthpoem #hippie👽 #amateurhippie #gypsy #witch #amateurwitch #wiccan #daughterofawitch #daughteroftheearth #daughterofagoddess #daughterofahippie #daughterofthesunandmoon #moonchild🌚🌙 #starchild🌟💕 #sunchild🌞🌻 #earthchild🌍✌🌻 #wildchild #flowerchild🌸🌼🌺 #naturechild🌱🍁🍂🍃 #spiritualchild #childofthesunandmoon🌞🌚 #childofspirituality #childoftheearth #childofthecosmicenergy #childwithintheatmosphere #madeofstardust #weareallmadeofstardustbaby https://www.instagram.com/p/BowM6Ukno1W/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=n24gqpt96o4w

Today is #nationalmentalhealthday I used to be ashamed of my mental health, until I can finally tell someone about it when I was a senior in college. My first panic attack was when I was 11 years old, my first mental breakdown happened in class— I was in 5th grade. I told my family about it then, but was dismissed. I was 16, when I had the chance to get checked on my own. Depression, OCD, PTSD. and I just wanna share to y’all how hard it has been for me for the past few years and especially this past few months. The confirmation made sense and it gave me a little relief that I know what’s happening to me. I was on top of my game when something horrible happened to me that I didn’t wanna do anything but cry and sleep. I had to talk to someone for help and myself to refocus and understand that this is going to pass. I am still struggling, but right now I am happy and content with my life. I talk to myself everyday in the mirror about self love and self care and I tell myself that somehow it’s gonna get better. If you’re experiencing the same thing, it’ll get better. Don’t push yourself too hard and wait for it. https://www.instagram.com/p/Box28V8BOMT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wab2iqn71cqy

I wanted to say something today about #nationalmentalhealthday . There are honestly so many things I could tell you about this subject as it is one that is close to my heart. I have Depression, I have a pretty severe case of Depression in top of that. Because of my depression coupled with my Seasonal Affective Disorder there are a lot of days when it's hard for me to get out of bed. I get so stressed that my muscles tend to clench together and stay clenched until I have panic attacks. It feels like I'm dying when it happens and I never know when they will strike. Last year around this time I was at the lowest point I'd ever been. My mind was constantly fighting with me and I just kept thinking about how I wanted to die. Since then I have started going to therapy and I am on antidepressants and have a tranquilizer in case I feel a panic attack coming on. This year im doing monumentally better mentally. Am I cured? No. Will I ever be able to like a 100% free depression free life? Who knows. Please if you feel lile something is wrong go to the doctor. There are so many people who like their lives in a cloud just because they are too stubboen to admit that they have a problem. Thats how I was and it almost killed me. https://www.instagram.com/p/BowyAQshBew/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ej9avxsqq1bw

I believe our purpose on this earth is to make it a better world than the one we were born in to. Being kind to others is free, it overpowers hate and can actually CHANGE someone’s life!

Confessions of a Health Coach Next month I’ll be celebrating 14 years as a certified coach. Like a lot of you, I’ve gone through some pretty big changes over the last two years and its caused me to do a lot of thinking about my life especially my approach to health and wellness. I’ve come to realize that the cause of my personal struggles with body image and weight have been rooted in a lack of self-esteem and unworthiness. Not because I wasn’t following the right meal plan or exercise program. Now I understand that diet culture has played a huge part in perpetuating the idea that I’m not good enough unless I fit some predetermined standard for an acceptable body shape or size. After spending some time learning more about the impact diet culture has had on all of us, women in particular, (a special thank you @stephaniedodier), I’ve come to understand that for my own sanity, I can no longer continue to participate in diet culture, not for myself or on behalf of my clients. In honor of world mental health day, and for my own good, I’m finally breaking up with my diet and over the next few months I’ll be detoxifying from diet culture. I hope you’ll join me. Stay tuned for what comes next. #worldmentalhealthday, #nationalmentalhealthday, #healthcoachconfession, #chronicdieting, #eatingpsychology, #healthcoach, #intuitiveeating, #mindfuleating, #antidiethealthcoach, #mindbodyeatingcoach, #holistihealthcoach, #bodyimagecoach, #bodyacceptance (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CU3MAJWvYSa/?utm_medium=tumblr

Today is #NationalMentalHealthDay and in honor of it I thought I’d share a story with y’all: This is a picture of me and my nephew, Jordyn at the airport a little over 2 years ago. Jordyn was minutes away from hopping on a plane for a literal once in a lifetime tour of Europe with his class. We raised money all year for it, and after a lot of uncertainty he was finally able to go! He was nervous but very excited, and although he isn’t smiling in the picture he was about as happy as a kid could be. For me however, although I AM smiling in the picture, I was in the middle of a nervous breakdown. I spent months pretending I was okay and either silently packed my problems down, or loudly exploded in a fit of anger and tears until I could isolate myself again. I didn’t know how to fix anything. I didn’t think I could. I didn’t have answers for why I was constantly joyless and feeling as if my head was full of concrete, so I just avoided talking about it. I spent almost a year and a half spiraling further away from myself, and in the process pushed all of the people who loved me and wanted to help away any time they got too close. I recently got help. I was embarrassed and hated myself for needing help in the first place and would have preferred to just sit on my ass alone and eat until I died from it, but my family, friends and girlfriend pushed me to better myself. They knew something was wrong, and they didn’t judge me. They just wanted me to sleep at night. Over two years later, I’m not cured. Anxiety, depression, food addiction and insomnia are still walls I have to tear down every day if I can, but the point isn’t being 100% okay all of the time. The point is trying, and believing I’m worth the effort. I’m so lucky to have every single person in my life who supported me through all of this. Thank you to everyone I’ve come into contact with in the last few years. You’ve all saved me. If you’re struggling: You are not alone, and you are not damaged goods. You are loved, and you will be okay if you try. Go speak to someone. There is absolutely no shame in therapy or proper medication. Go talk with a doctor, go hug your family, go try. You are worth it.
