Minds

I need to remember I am good enough. It’s my quirks and habits which make me who I am.

I realized all at once that folks who have not been suicidal do not understand what it means to be mentally ill and suicidal.

I know it feels like you're falling apart. It's the kind that happens when I have overcommitted and then something goes wrong and everything else spirals.

It was my pattern: if therapy got too intense, if I started feeling better, or if I was referred to a psychiatrist, I’d just stop going. I couldn’t wrap my head around the idea that I had a mental disorder.

Deciding to tell your partner that you want to see a therapist can be scary. And sometimes it's even a good idea to see someone together!

Are you bipolar? While I was pretending everything was fine, there were bipolar disorder red flags flying all around me like the gd United Nations.

I know myself to be a hard worker and a loyal one, but being a good employee doesn’t require you to sacrifice your sense of self or health, for a bad boss.

Coming out of dissociation can feel like waking from a lucid dream. One moment you’re on the other side of physical reality, and then you cross the threshold and are part of life again.
