Fuck this. I'm going to replace #mentalhealth therapy with #mentalhealth therapy replacer
@kathhayhoe @DrWendyRocks I've been trying to say this for years. But, of course, just like so many in the #mentalhealth community have been trying to tell (bad) psychiatrists for years and years now, decades, this has all fallen on deaf ears. Bayard Rustin once said the last great fight for #civilrights will be for #LGBT. I have to wonder if he was wrong; if instead the last great fight for #equalrights will be for those with a #MentalIllness.

Hiiii! I have not fallen off the earth, or quit #The100DayProject or anything. I’m just a bit mentally drowning in anxiety about having my first art sale booth at a real life event, and I’m finding I really have a massive mental block against producing “finished work” for some reason… 🙃
Here’s a few favorite things I’ve actually finished lately. Three cheers for finishing things!

Untamed
The crashing of the waves against the rocks
Angry, wild, untamed,
Just like my emotions,
Beyond control
I’m learning how to be in the world
Learning to live and feel comfortable in my own skin
With all my discomfort.
But even the sea can be tamed
A swimmer can navigate their way through the waves,
A surfer learns to ride them into shore.
You cannot control the sea,
but you can learn to master it.

My partner and I desperately need #MentalHealth #therapy both individually and as a couple. This is yet another delightful #feature of #poverty; we're too #poor to get the help we need to function like normal adults, and we're not stable or #functional enough to maintain the kind of #income necessary to pay for thorough, effective #psychotherapy.
When you didn't realize your alters were alters but you used their names for everything. To be... Different people... For your own safety #plural #plurality #multiple #multiplicity #DID #cptsd #mentalhealth
Hiya! Let me reintroduce ourselves. We're the SAAS Horde. Our body is 25. This account will be utilized by 3 members of our system, Jax, Jasper and Mecko all of whom are adult alters. We will be posting information about our health mental and physical. There will also be random piece's of art as we often times will use art ad therapy. We are healing and working towards functional multiplicity. We think that it will work best for us to be together and not one.
Welp fuck it gonna use this account for #mentalhealth and #art. I think it'll be a rollercoaster and they'll be pretty pictures.
A pretty big deal in #London,, where the Metropolitan Police are going to stop replying to most mental health calls after August 31. Sounds like a good idea — police have no mental health expertise — but I sure hope the right alternative responders will be in place. It's not clear how that will happen.
@billheywood
I can agree with the approach being taken by the Met here.
My daughter has been in the hands of the police several times when she desperately needed #mentalhealth team support.
Equally it's putting a spotlight on the criminal underfunding of the #NHS in general and mental health services in particular.
The sooner that the tories are out of office, the better - we need a new vision for public services

From the perspective of the ego,the present moment barely exists.Only the past and the future matter to the ego. An exotic mind is constantly preoccupied with resurrecting the past because who are you without it?It constantly projects itself into the future to ensure its continued existence, seeking relief and fulfillment there.The key to liberation lies in the present moment.#EckhartTolle Have a nice day.

I'm so incredibly stressed with moving that I can't even explain it. And friends keep explaining to me "yeah, moving is stressful but you'll be ok."
What if I'm not? Like I'm agoraphobic and I literally have people in my house touching all my things and the safe space I'd usually retreat to to help with that doesn't exist because it's packed in boxes. And it feeling safe on the other end of the move is months and maybe years away because it's not going to be MY safe space for a long time, it's just going to be "the new house".
Please stop telling me that I'll be ok when I very much might not be.

Sharing this one because apps like this have saved my life. One of the worst lies that depression tells you is that you've always felt this way, and you always will.
Nobody's life is perfect, and some have terrible, long term problems that won't get better soon, but for the anyone like me, living a basically okay life with a brain that wants to kill you, remember: depression lies.

When someone tells you, "forgiveness is necessary for your healing," there's a 96.3% chance they're trying to sell you on a half-ass apology when you have every right to still be mad as fuck.

#TIL there is a concept called, "normative male alexithymia," and it is something of which more #men need to be aware.
Alexithymia is known as "emotional blindness," or a severe difficulty in recognizing one's own emotional state. Some people (not all) with #autism experience this co-morbidly, and other people experience it independently; but then there's "normative male alexithymia," which is a recognition by psychologists that it's actually normal for men to struggle with recognizing, describing, and expressing their emotions. My (limited) understanding is that this is more a societal phenomenon than neuropsychological, but I could be mistaken about that.
Regardless, it's important to be aware of. If you struggle with it, you may be aware of frustration and find that you're angry a lot of the time. Anger is often a blanket for us, and usually there is something underneath that. If we feel anxious, we might get pissed off instead. If we feel ashamed, we may get pissed off instead. This might cause us to lash out at people, or internalize that anger--both of which can be extremely harmful to us and the people around us.
Now let's make it personal: I have experienced this myself. As a kid, I was made to believe that other people's emotions are more important than my own. I became a chronic people-pleaser and never developed the tools to work through my own emotions. This is tough because, as someone with #ADHD, I have "big" emotions and I was swallowing them whole to make other people more comfortable around me. This did eventually rear it's head as anger and resentment. I started getting mad all the time, at everything, and I kept internalizing it. Thankfully, I found a great therapist and started working through it before I cracked, and I'm doing much better now, but my avoidant habits did and still do take a toll on my trajectory in life.
In therapy, I've learned techniques like using physical sensations to help identify emotions. People with interoception will struggle with this, but it can be extremely useful for some. For instance, I have learned that I feel certain kinds of sadness in my chest. When I'm feeling that familiar sensation in my chest and I combine that with the context of the situation, I can recognize that I'm likely sad about something. I've improved at this a lot over the last couple of years, and I don't have to consciously work out my emotions as much--I'm getting to the point where I just recognize what I'm feeling. But sometimes, emotions are complex, and I still use that technique to help me sort them out.
If you think this might be you, I urge you to talk to someone about it. You may be hurting the people around you in ways you don't realize, you may be lashing out at others, and you may be internalizing those emotions. #MentalHealth is extremely important, and being able to identify and talk about our feelings is vital.
I've attached a couple of useful infographic resources that I have found super helpful.
My dream comes true that this story finally gets told...

The legendary Wenn Lawson worked on this new free online course on autism and mental health from Curtin University in Perth, Western Australia.
According to the description:
"This course has been developed in response to the growing need to provide autistic people and those around us with the knowledge, skills, and understanding to feel good about autism and celebrate individuality, strengths and skills, as well as being pro-active about our mental fitness and identifying when we need support.
The course aims to provide learners with the knowledge and skills to:
• Explore monotropism as a theory of autism, and how being monotropic (single-focused) impacts autistic people
• Understand interoception and how your internal sensing system impacts your life, as well as ways to recognise signals from this system
• Learn about the impact of sensory overload on mental health
• Explore what mental fitness looks like and learn strategies for good mental health
• Understand and identify risk factors for autistic burnout
• Recognise and implement strategies for self-care and self-advocacy"

May is Mental Health Awareness month and I wanted to surface some wise words from @TechWithHannah. If you've been feeling like an imposter, know you're not alone, I and many of the advocates have faced it at different times in our careers. If you're experiencing it now, know that it's probably a good sign. You're likely feeling that way because you're pushing yourself to grow. You've got this, we believe in you. The feeling is temporary.
