  • When I was nearly 18 years old and a brazen alcoholic, my life consisted of studying and chicken strips and rum but mainly rum. Suddenly I couldn't see the forest of the trees, a beautiful paradox that lead to my obsessing over meaning and value. This was ironic, as it lead to my devaluation of societal law and self I nearly died that night the diagnosis was charged. But by what I believe was the grace of God I was spared and allowed to recover from mental illness and addictions, though will most likely be a part of me forever. However they will not define me exclusively; bipolar may have been news to me, but hope and love is the future I see. -Brian Carpenter, 26 @bclyricalenvy (p.s.

  • "There is no shame in struggling. There is no shame in saying I need to put myself first right now. My life depends on it." --A beautiful message from Kimya Dawson on an unforgettable night celebrating mental health through music and storytelling with Deqn Sue, Daniel Johnston, Royce White, @mentalpod, @bethstelling and @mortifiedshow at @ittfest. #strongminds #URstrong #mondaymotivation #mentalhealth
  • Carlos on his journey through #schizophrenia: “Early on in my recovery, I decided that I wanted to make sense of the adversity I‘ve endured by helping others. Looking back, my advice to someone struggling would be, ‘Hey, a psychotic episode or manic episode may happen. You may be diagnosed with a psychiatric illness and yes, it will be challenging for sure, but you can still live the life you want to live.’ It’s as simple as that.” Read more here (link in bio): www.partners4strongminds.org/blog/carlos-story-strength #URstrong #strongminds #mentalhealth #ImNotAshamed #mentalillness #bipolar #anxiety #depression #mentalhealthposi #recovery

  • ​"I'm not about being 'realistic.' If I were realistic, I would have listened when doctors told me that I couldn't recover from #bipolar. I would probably be institutionalized right now. Being realistic is actually accepting someone else's version of reality. My version of reality is that I create my own happiness and follow that authentic voice inside. This is how I've been able to make my dreams happen. So I ask: Are you going to choose to be realistic, or create the reality of your dreams?" -From our friend & fellow advocate Emily Grossman #mentalhealth #mentalillness #strongminds #URstrong
