I like to put these two photos together for a good reason. I’m in two very different mental health situations in both photos but my facial expression is almost exact in each. The first picture is about a year ago, a bad time where I was hospitalized and put back into counseling because of this. I was depressed due to family situations and an abusive relationship that I had been in for over a year at the time. I hadn’t learned to love myself either, and I was stuck in a vicious cycle of recovering and relapsing into an eating disorder. Now, the second picture I took yesterday. Yes, I have a lot going on right now. My family situation is still as bad as always, and I just went through a break up two weeks ago. However, I’ve been back in counseling for a year now, and I’ve recovered from said eating disorder and have been trying to overcome mental illness. It’s not an easy or fair battle, but for sure is a worthwhile one. If you took the time to actually read my caption and get down this far, thank you, I’m glad you’ve listened. And I’m here for anybody at anytime because I really get it ❤️❤️ #worldmentalhealthday2018 #worldmentalhealthday https://www.instagram.com/p/BoxbelphOhr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lyzmzqxujf13

So I'm a little late but October 10 is #worldmentalhealthday and you know I'm not gonna let that pass by unnoticed. A little over 18 months ago I got my first tattoo, subjecting myself to the dreaded needles because #projectsemicolon captured my attention and really meant something to me. Last week I got that #semicolontattoo touched up so it could look better. It's, to me, also a reflection of my journey over the last 18 months: I've been through ups and downs but I've come out stronger and more vibrant than ever. Mental health is a journey, and it's one that goes off the rails really easily, but it's an undeniable part of who I am. Inked on my body for all to see: my sentence isn't over. Neither is yours. You are the author. Take charge. And please know it will be okay, and you are not alone. #worldmentalhealthday2018 #mentalhealth #mentalillness #bipolardisorder #anxiety #triggerwarning #semicolon #tattoo #thisismystory #iamnotashamed #iamwhoiam #sorrynotsorry (at Lancaster, South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/Box2FBpFVcZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19i6cazc84yi3

Apparently it's World Mental Health day! Cool. Here's an old Haarmi doodle 😀 So. I want to tell you that getting help was one of the best things I ever did. I spent years struggling, thinking I'd learn how to deal with my shit *eventually*, but instead it very suddenly started to get worse about this time last year. I was so terrified and exhausted that I had no choice but to see a therapist. It took months to learn how to relax and to change my way of thinking, even with a strong desire to change. This has been the most challenging thing I've ever been through, but despite all my added grief from losing my beloved Timmy, I'm happy to say that I was still fully discharged from therapy a couple weeks ago! 😀 But the challenge will never be over, because caring for yourself is something you must do every day. The most important thing I learnt is what self care really is, and that cultivating healthier habits will make life easier in the long run. I still don't know if I'm in a great place, but at least I know I can be if I keep going. Looking back to how shitty I was this time last year only proves that! If you feel like you're struggling for any reason (or no reason), do yourself a favour and don't wait 'til it gets worse. We all deserve to be happy, no matter what. And I promise that it does get better!! 💜💜 #mentalhealth #worldmentalhealthday #worldmentalhealthday2018 #mentalhealthawareness #mentalillness #depression #anxiety #misophonia #haarmi #fightagainstshadowmakers #demon #horse #fantasyart #fantasy #doodle #inktober #btwsorryaboutinktober #XD #notenoughtimethisyear #andthatsselfcareinaction https://www.instagram.com/p/Bow_NFsBFAK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1a95wcwdj6slu

RepostBy @drkimbruno: "Did you know that October 7-13th is Mental Health Awareness Week. Today is also World Mental Health Day. So to spread awareness about mental health here are some mental health facts and statistics. Mental illnesses are common in the United States. Nearly one in five U.S. adults lives with a mental illness. There were more than twice as many suicides (44,965) in the United States as there were homicides (19,362) in 2016. Young adults aged 18-25 years had the highest prevalence of Serious Mental Illness (5.9%) compared to adults aged 26-49 years (5.3%) and aged 50 and older (2.7%). An estimated 16.2 million adults in the United States had at least one major depressive episode. This number represented 6.7% of all U.S. adults in 2016 In 2016, there were an estimated 44.7 million adults aged 18 or older in the United States with Any Mental Illness. This number represented 18.3% of all U.S. adults. Statistics Sourced From The National Institute Of Mental Health https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/statistics/index.shtml Mental Illness does not define you. Your strength and courage do. Let's break the silence and end the stigma of mental illness. Mental Illness is nothing to be ashamed of. . . . . #drkimbruno #endthestigma #mentalhealth #mentalhealthweek #worldmentalhealthday #worldmentalhealthday2018 #mentalhealthday #health #mental #drkim #giveyourselfabreak #stress #strength #anxiety #mentalillness #suicide #suicideprevention #mentalhealthstats #mentalhealthstatistics #courage #noshame #mentalhealthcolorado #depression #statistics #facts" (via #InstaRepost @AppsKottage) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoxyIeeHkc9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5ke50x8qutqv

Mental Health is your mind, your relationship with your consciousness. I could write paragraphs about anxiety, depression, living and dealing with people with mental health issues but I will not make room for negativity and all the things that make us question who we are and our purpose. 🌙✨ If you learn something today, know this - when it becomes a little difficult to do the things you usually do, always remember, you are LOVED 💚💚💚draw strength from the people who came before you and talk to somebody. PRAY! Don't be afraid to speak your destiny into existence 🌙✨ And don't be afraid to be selfless, do things that takes you out of your head and into the world. Positive creative things. 🌙✨ You are strange and beautiful, something not everybody knows how to love 🌙✨ #mentalhealthawareness #worldmentalhealthday2018 ❗In November, we will be hosting a mental health and safety space for women ( all welcome) at @studiocatface Brixton - 396 coldharbhour lane SW9 8lf ✨✨ It will be an evening to hang out and talk to people who look like you and get useful, informative help. There will be a pyschiatrist and an A&E doctor in attendance so please come along if you feel you could rest yoirself for a bit 🐱🐱 register your interest - mariette@catface.me ❗❗ #MENTALHEALTH #mentalhealthbrixton #mentalhealthlondon #STUDIOCATFACE #CATFACEHAIR (at Catface) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoxIBRDHs-L/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cgwy0lqau907

Can we talk about therapy? - It’s something I’ve been advocating for a while now. I’ve been to a number of different forms, and I am in therapy at the moment. Many people who I believe would really benefit from therapy are reluctant tho. - What causes the stigma around therapy? And how can we change that? - My album ‘Damaged’ is out now.

[butjustourselves]

So it's #worldmentalhealthday2018. I've been living with mental illness for most of my life. I started therapy and my first round of meds in seventh grade. Over the years my mental illness has cost me friendships, my physical health, and years of my life that I didn't get to fully enjoy. I had to drop a second major that I desperately wanted because I couldn't handle the course load. I missed one of my best friends' bachelorette parties because I was on suicide watch. Self-care isn't bath bombs and facials; for me self-care is using Habitica to track regular meals and blood sugar tests. I'm finally in a pretty good place, but I still have my bad days. This photo was from a couple weeks ago, when despite my meds and the tools I got from my therapist I couldn't make myself feel anything but empty hopelessness. But my mental illness is just a part of me. I'm a successful library assistant, I run my knitting design business, and I'm a published writer. I have friends I love and who love me. I have hobbies that nourish my soul and give me joy. I'll never have the things I gave up in the darkest years of my mental illness, but I've built a life that is good for me now. https://www.instagram.com/p/BoxkrfZlsaq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=p0wjn71yj23c

Story on my mental health for #worldmentalhealthday : Now I bet you looked at this photo and thought 'she looks healthy not at all ill" but what you don't know is what is underneath that smile and filter. What you wouldn't assume or know is that I suffer with anxiety, depression, and PTSD. People say to me I have such a beautiful smile and that I should smile more often, on those days I wish I could. I have told you this story because I never hide my mental health and encourage others like me to speak out and to get help! Talking helps me a lot and I know it would help you a lot. If people spoke about their mental health more like people speak about their physical health most suicides would not happen. Some days can be a struggle but some days can be a blessing, keep fighting and keep speaking about your feelings because someone out there is listening to you, they are important and so are you! 💚❤️💛💙 - - - #worldmentalhealthday2018 #depression #PTSD #anixety #mentalhealthday #speakout #mentalhealth #stigmafree #health https://www.instagram.com/p/BowYfXIhEcw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wifaevtb79y1
