What would I do without her. 🖤 When I can’t leave the house, she is by my side. When I cry, she senses I am unwell and becomes very calm for me. When my spirit lifts, she is playful and tries to make me laugh. When I don’t know what to do, I simply hold her close, feel her warmth, and hope the bad feelings will pass. She sleeps by my side. She gives me unconditional love. And yet she asks nothing of me besides company. No words are needed, but everything is understood. A dog like Suki is irreplaceable. #girlsbestfriend #mentalhealthawareness #depression #anxiety #cavalierkingcharlesspaniel #suki #littleshrimp #bae #dogsofinstagram
The greatest source of wonder, terror,
joy, sadness, confusion, elation, reason, madness, intrigue, obsession, rage.. and all possible feeling in between. For all the difficulties that it brings, life would not be quite the same without it. 🧠 #mentalhealth #thebrain #mentalhealthawareness #whatmakesushuman #useitwell #thoughts
Not always okay. Not afraid to show it. Photos taken on a day I felt like I just wanted to die, felt completely isolated from the outside world and yet couldn’t leave the house. The truth is that I’m not always very well, but I rarely open up about what goes on for me during these times. However I now want to start talking about the reality of living with mental illness more. This year I vowed to be one of change, and my primary motivation is to help others (and me) understand themselves, the nature of mental illness and how the mind and the brain work. We can only make progress if we are willing to talk about these things - so this is me, starting to talk about these things. 🗣💡 #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #reality #mentalillness #stigmafree #sadness #depression #honesty #openup #mentalhealthrecovery #mentalhealthhelp #itsokaynottobeokay
