#CheckInWithMe: Give and get support here.

As an advocate for openly discussing mental health, I feel comfortable sharing honestly about my symptoms and overall experiences. Through personal storytelling and sharing my perspective, I've found it easier to navigate conversations about mental health.

I'm grateful for the spaces and people I've connected with through The Mighty and NAMI-NYC, who have given me opportunities to share openly and confidentially. Those experiences have helped me gain clarity about what recovery, support, and community look like for me.

Who in your life do you feel comfortable talking to about your mental health—or mental health in general? What is it about that person or space that makes you feel safe enough to share?

Every step, change, or shift you make toward a goal is significant, even if it’s small. Progress is progress after all.

What’s a goal that you’re currently working on? What have you achieved so far? Are there any roadblocks in your way?

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks made a goal to make sure she’s checking in with her energy levels and mental health. So far today, she’s been pacing herself, taking her time, and reflecting on her feelings.

Let’s cheer one another on in the comments below. 💌
