Many of us have expressed feeling guilt for finding joy when so much loss still abounds. I want to remind you to feel any pocket of joy that makes its way to you.

Continue to poem, watch comedy, cherish moments w/ family. Engage mindfully, w/ perspective,

NO guilt necessary.

Anyone else bring their emotional-support water bottle EVERYWHERE?

I don’t know who needs to hear this but (clearly some of you do):

Mental Illness does NOT cause anti-semitism.

Anti-semitism is a product of HATE and FEAR, and nothing else
should be blamed.

#KanyeWest needs to be boycotted NOW.

Depression is NOT a choice

so NO ONE in the history of
healing from depression has healed from being told

“Just choose happiness”

In fact, that kind of verbiage is shaming, and can fuel thoughts of worthlessness, guilt, failure-ship, and punishment.

Just like it’s okay to not be okay, it’s also OKAY to be okay, without the guilt. If you’re able to find pockets of joy, and meaning-making moments, please don’t shame yourself. Nothing is ever black and white. Our psyches can hold space for joy even in the midst of tough times.

The pain born from mental health challenges is real, visceral, profound.

Let’s not add to the pain by using slurs or stereotypes, blame, shame, or guilt.

Let’s not pile suffering on top of the pain, and instead BE a society that endorses healing and radical NON-pathology.
