I saw my therapist today. It was glorious. That is all. ✨ #mentalhealth #fuckthestigma #therapytherapytherapy

I got my first tattoo, the semicolon.. Relevant to me for obvious reasons. (I didn't fight wolverine). So yeah, I usually write about this sort of stuff in my blog but fuck it, why can't I put it on Instagram with everything else? The reason is, we all put our amazing, beautiful, happy, I'm successful, wealthy, fake photos on insta.. Let's be honest. Instagram is one big filter on life.. We want everyone to think our life is amazing, and lavish... Look at my recent photos, travelling, beautiful views, adventure and friends. What you don't see is I spent my last weeks in Sydney getting sectioned by police, paramedics, seeing a psychiatrist every Tuesday, 9 stitches in my arm, smashed knuckles, and scars for life. This is REAL life. It's not all sunshine and rainbows. If I wasn't scared to talk about things sooner, everytime I went through a traumatic event, then I would have dealt with it before I got to this stage, but unfortunately there's bullshit stigma and it shouldn't be there! So I'm left scarred for life, but that's it. It's life.. It's not perfect. Even though Instagram my lead you to believe this. I may be judged for posting this, but I can't hide it.. This is the reality of being a 27yr old man, who's had more than his fair share of shit in life, but has never felt comfortable to talk about it until it was too late (2015). But, and a huge but.. Life is better now, than ever, I meet amazing people everywhere I go, I can talk about my issues and past without thinking about what people will think of me, because it's irrelevant. Oh and I smile.. A lot. Leaving the UK was the best thing I could have done for my mind. You can easily get into a stagnant mindset of feeling sorry for yourself and this negative thought pattern takes over, but you need to pull yourself out, no matter how slow the process.. Make an active decision to change something in your life, and don't stop making changes until the negativity takes a back seat. Don't just sit and admit defeat, it won't get better unless you make a conscious decision to make positive changes! . . . #semicolon #tattoo #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth #depression #fuckthestigma #semicolonproject #reality

There’s so much stigma around mental illness that it makes it hard to talk about our struggles. Which is why I’m so grateful to Chris and his family, who let us document some of the worst moments of his life so we could try to understand his world - and see how America’s healthcare system is failing it’s kids. Also grateful to @cassandragiraldo who deserves all the credit for nailing this story. Watch our @vicenews Special on @hbo #mentalhealthmonth #fuckthestigma

7.26.18 | Day 688 Gratitude • Cat's out of the bag, y'all. The lovely folks over at @lovewhatmatters gave me the opportunity to pen a personal piece detailing my decade's long relationship with booze, the various low points I hit on my way to rock bottom, the day I had my wake-the-fuck-up call, and the FUCKING BEAUTIFUL trials + tribulations that have taken place over the last excruciatingly exquisite 688 days, and how much gratitude I have for YOU and this commUNITY as a whole. • I found a true sense of closure while writing this, and it allowed me to share with you (the world, really) how much pain I went through and inflicted upon others. It's most certainly not for the faint of heart. • Link in bio.

Happy Mental Health Awareness Day !( might have been yesterday). Here’s an excerpt from a new one I wrote ... Most have about as much interest in a relationship with anxiety as they'd have dangling the crown jewels near a crocodiles jaw. However, the consequences of the former (wanting anxiety out of your life forever) could potentially be more catastrophic than the latter (having a croc bite your bollox off!) Thankfully, few are in the croc teasing game. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for anxiety. This mindset of wanting to eliminate anxiety completely is one of very reasons it persists. Therefore, by changing your relationship with anxiety — or all emotions for that matter — you can change your life. And I think that’s worth talking about… Don’t get me wrong, anxiety is the greatest bastard I’ve ever known. And don’t get me started on the rest of the crew. If they had a pulse, I’d beat them to death using the same ferociousness and brutality they use to destroy the minds of so many. “But no matter how hard I fight, it still won’t just fuck off?” Sound familiar? The paradox of anxiety is the more you grow to hate and resist it, the more it will grow to love and destroy you. Maybe this is a love story — a deadly one where the victim becomes trapped in an abusive relationship, desperate to escape and scared shitless to do what it takes. {full article linked in bio }

There’s no avoiding the fuckers. A nice reminder. It’s all by design. So try not to let them get you. Thanks @sarahlarthur for consistently posting funny shit

One of my favourite things. Rarely confrontational. I just love the words!!

this is my flavor of mental health issues. what’s yours? let’s talk about it. because fuck stigmas.

Happy Saturday! I really appreciate this message from @karolinarzad, and her site. (She also has NA drink resources too!) Karolina identifies as someone who was a social drinker who made her decision to “not drink simply because it makes me happier.” I also believe you don’t need to have a “problem” to decide to stop drinking. (Though I was a person who did experience addiction, and it’s very real and life-threatening.) Anyhow, I love finding more and more folks who are writing honestly about their relationships to alcohol. Nothing to be embarrassed by here! #tellbetterstories #Repost @karolinarzad with @get_repost ・・・ Quitting drinking is not embarrassing. Questioning if alcohol makes you ultimately happy does not mean you have a “problem.” Drinking more than you want to, either in one occasion or throughout the week, is the most common experience a regular drinker can have. It is normal to want another drink after you have the first one. That is the scientific effect of alcohol on the brain—it literally changes your brain chemistry to crave more of it. You are normal. Examining your relationship with alcohol is not shameful. It is life affirming. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Words I wish I heard a long time ago. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #soberaf #soberbadass #soberlife #teetotaler #nondrinker #soberisamazing #fuckthestigma #euphoricaf #euphoricalcoholfree #noalcoholneeded #soberliving #sobercurious #hangoverfree #sobersisters
