the concept of someone with a mental illness healing and moving forward is not the same or even comparable to someone with a mental disability. both are serious, but are not the same.
it’s also hilarious to me to see all of this shit about how people need to heal in their own time, in their own ways yet no one seems to understand that it being their way does not give you the right to be selfish and decide when they’ve exhausted their way of healing. if someone has a specific way that works for them and you come in fucking up their whole routine, that is YOUR fault, not the fault of them regressing because you refuse to fucking listen to what they say triggers them. someone in the right environment can heal in months, bring that negativity right back into their space of growth and they will always recede.
In celebration of Mental Health Month, we are excited to provide our favorite self-care activity: a coloring page, illustrated by Tumblr Creatr, Lunares. Check out and download the custom “I Can Do Anything” page here, inspired by the Simone Biles x Athleta collection.
It’s Monday in May, which can only mean one thing: Mental Health Month.
This week we are all about HEALING and all the good things that come with it. They say time heals all wounds, and this is true. Everyone needs to heal in their time, in their way. But we’re wondering, why wait? With our partners @dayone-app, you will find daily writing prompts to get thinking, journaling and improving your mental wellbeing. We would love you to share your mood boards with us, aligning with this week’s theme of healing—and we hope you’ll get writing with us.
Join us in healing together, however you choose to do this, as a little bit of healing can come from the tip of a pen or the tips of your fingers…
