maybe if you read that book you’ve been procrastinating. maybe if you don’t take everything so seriously. spill your feelings on pages instead of your skin. maybe if you go on a walk in the snow. then cook yourself a warm, nourishing meal. maybe if you spend time with family/friends instead of staying home in misery. start that hobby you’ve been thinking about. maybe if you’re a little easier on yourself. stretch your body into a pretzel. maybe if you finally realize that you deserve all the happiness in the world. maybe the world will feel a little lighter. x

⚠️ TW (brief, non graphic references to: mental illness, sh, OCD, therapy) THERE IS HOPE! You will get better! I felt hopeless for the majority of today, now I don’t because I talked. Don’t keep it bottled up, talk. You are valued, you are loved. You make the world a better place by being here. Your life has purpose, you do wonderful things. Just something as simple smiling at a stranger on the street, your life has profound meaning because you made that person feel like they matter.

I had such a good talk tonight with a family member. I opened up about how much I’m truly struggling with my mental health. How much I struggle with sh urges. How my OCD is getting worse. I have never been hugged so tightly before, it was a breath of fresh air to stop feeling so alone, even for a moment.

I’m seeing a new therapist as my last one didn’t help me much (she was lovely but I felt like I was going no where). I’m really eager to start working with my new one and I’m hoping I get the “tools” I need to heal my mind.

I’m scared but I’m going to talk to my psychiatrist about a dose increase on my anti-depressant meds.

I’m going to start walking more, going in nature and maybe pick up yoga or something to nurture my soul. I feel most connected and grounded when I’m outside amongst nature.

I’m going to get better. I’m going to try.

If anyone struggles with their mental health and needs someone to talk to, I’m ALWAYS here. I understand what it’s like, to feel alone, to feel hopeless. I’m going to get better, and I promise so are you. 🩵

I hope this reaches even one person that needs to hear that there is hope. I looked at some of the posts under tags I used and I cried. I’m sorry so many of you are in so much pain, I understand. But you will get better, you will.

Let’s talk because no one talks about how hard it is to be alive after an attempt at unaliving. Let’s talk because no one talks about the grief that comes along with setting boundaries and taking care of yourself first. Let’s talk because no one talks about how one minute everything you know can change in the best way and the worst way simultaneously. Let’s talk because no one talks about how hard it is to be okay sometimes. But in the same breath - let’s talk because the very good days are the days you are the most grateful to be alive. Let’s talk because medication CAN work and it CAN greatly improve your quality of life if you find the right dose&medication that works for YOU. And let’s talk because MENTAL 👏🏻 HEALTH 👏🏻 MATTERS 👏🏻 #BellLetsTalk 💙 @bell_letstalk #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthrecovery #mentalhealthsupport #mentalhealthadvocate #itsoknottobeok (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn3OPtYLbqA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is a bigger version of the photo of me that appears on the 'Mental health for all' ad that is on the Lethbridge chapter of Canadian Mental Health Association's Facebook page. I just found the actual ad on the Facebook page belonging to Canadian Mental Health Association Lethbridge and it makes me feel pure joy because I am in this ad. I am near the bottom right of the ad. Back in 2018, I was a model for their 'Modelling For Mental Health' campaign and to find an ad for it on #BellLetsTalk Day 2023 is BEAUTIFUL! I'm not sure if my likeness is anywhere else not, but this itself is amazing! @cmhanational @cmhaab #advertisement #advertising #campaign #model #actor #entertainer #entertainment #Mentalhealth #MentalHealthMatters #recovery #recoveryispossible #awareness #help #love #care #support #health #healthyliving #healthtips #selfcompassion #selflove #healing #healingjourney #alberta #canada (at Lethbridge, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn3LQ3krK1B/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today is Bell Let's Talk Day in Canada. As I reflect on my own mental health journey, it's clear to see that I've come a long way, but I still have more to go. I've also noticed that much of my struggles stem from being an autistic person living in a world not made for me. Thankfully, I still have a solid support system to fall back on so that I can move forward. They remind me that I'm not alone. #bellletstalk #community #supportsystem #bellcause #notalone #nomanisanisland https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn26ldDJpLG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I haven’t been feeling myself for the past 5 months. On #bellletstalk day I decided to send Leroy to daycare and do that hobby we like to do in the quiet of the lovely forest. I’ve been taking some time to work on my mental health, and isn’t it a telling how guilty and shameful I feel to post this picture. Not sure how to end the stigma of mental health, but I hope you are able to get some fresh air, exercise, and feel the forest like I did today.

Today, and every day, I am available to talk or just listen to anyone who needs it. Mental health is just as important as physical health.

TW: PROFANITY

Alright this isn't a meme post. Funfun! But I thought it might be useful to any other fellow Canadians caught between the Bell and Roger clusterfuck.

Unfortunately I don't have any options to list (hence this post) but if anyone has any alternative to the monopolies(duopolies????) internet and cellphone services (home phone too if you want, all is welcome) let's hear 'em.

Bell is still pulling it's Bell Let's Talk bullsh*t(I hate it with every fiber of my being) and Rogers singlehandedly downed the entire country because of a failed server update. 🫠

The actual look on my face as I'm scrolling and I see "#BellLetsTalk" being used by the same troll who had just left comments on like five different NHL team accounts denouncing their pride nights or calling a player soft for taking a game off to see the birth of their child.
