25.01.2022 An article from early last year (when corona was still a Mexican beer) - 14 Australian youth mental health advocates that are worth putting on your radar https://headspace.org.au/about-/australian-youth-advocates/

17.01.2022 Just a little something to ponder....

13.01.2022 Another one from The Mighty. It's so important to listen, really listen, to people who live with anxiety, and learn from their experiences. To my friends of faith, do note number 2. And to those who work in communities where people may often experience anxiety, note number 15: "Just breathe" or even "have you tried breathing?" (I've heard both these said often) however well intentioned, can also be hurtful. https://themighty.com//harmless-comments-that-hurt-people/

09.01.2022 Being connected to people who are willing to share their own vulnerable journeys with mental health and illness can be so powerful. At the very least, we all need to hear that we're not alone! This article from Bitch Media highlights some mental health advocates that come from marginal places - the places where mental illness is often found due to rejection, isolation and abuse. This is a US list - I'm hoping to include some local voices here soon. If you know of any, please do share. Fi x https://www.bitchmedia.org//mental-health-advocates-to-kno

03.01.2022 "As a teenager, I remember wondering if I was different from other people. While other people got sad, I became despairing. I stayed in bed all day. When other people became angry, I became enraged. When other people were energetic, I was out of control. I stayed up all night for days. Like some people with these symptoms in their youth, I was later diagnosed with bipolar disorder. It was like a light came on! I felt so silly how did I miss this? It seemed so obvious!... Some of you, like me, may have felt like you missed the signs. Don’t beat yourself up. You weren’t alone then and you aren’t alone now. We were likely confused and overwhelmed when we were young. We needed care and support above all things and some of us may or may not have gotten it. Now we have the power to advocate and get care for ourselves! We are no longer in the dark." ~ Mindy M, The Mighty If Mindy's words resonate with you, you may like this featured article from The Mighty.
