#CheckInWithMe: Give and get support here.

Happy Friday, Halloween (for the spooky fans), and end of the month, Mighty friends! 🎃

Inspired by today’s holiday, we’re brewing up some weekend plans with a twist. Here’s how it works — fill in the blanks for today’s prompt by sharing:

🍬 One Treat: Something fun, adventurous, or exciting you’re planning, a self-care moment you’ll indulge in, or even a snack or comfort you’re looking forward to enjoying.

🔮 One Trick: Something new you’d like to try that benefits your health or well-being, a perspective shift to help you through a challenge, or a postponed task you’re ready to tackle.

Drop your tricks and treats below! 👇

Sometimes we just need to hear some happy stories, so let’s share a few of the positive experiences we’ve had when it comes to reaching out for help and actually receiving it.

Following an unpleasant experience in college, Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks started therapy in 2019 after not seeking help for her mental health for over three years. She was really happy she made the step to ask for help because she then found a really kind and empathetic therapist in return!

Note: It’s totally OK if you feel you haven’t received the help you deserve and needed in the past. We’re here with you and extend our support in any capacity we can. 🌟

When someone asks, “How are you?” our knee-jerk response is often, “I’m fine” or “I’m good,” even when that’s not the full truth. I know for me, there are times when I don’t feel well for weeks at a time, so when someone asks how I’m doing, I sometimes feel guilty being honest — even though I want to share how I’m really feeling.

Today, we want to know how you’re really feeling. Share with us in the comments below.

💌 Sending extra love and energy to the Mighties who need it right now.

In the poll we asked earlier in the week, 58% of the group said that you ask for help sometimes but would rather do things on your own and 25% said that you only ask for help when it's an emergency, so we’re curious what your experience is when helping others. Do you find it easier? How come?

P.S. We’ve heard so many community members share that they enjoy helping out those around them, especially those on The Mighty who are struggling. We applaud and commend all who have made The Mighty what it is today.🏅

Whether it’s a valuable lesson learned, a boundary firmly in place, the end of a cycle, time spent with loved ones, an outdoor activity, a resource or diagnosis that’s been life-changing, progress where you once felt stuck, a completed project (or one still in progress), or simply making it to this very moment — what’s something you’re grateful for experiencing this year?

♥️ It’s been a long one, Mighty fam, but as we near November, we’re especially grateful for you and this community.
