The Real Reason Asking for Help Is Hard When You Have Depression

It doesn’t matter how bad you’re hurting, does it? Doesn’t matter how long you’ve laid in bed with the curtains drawn, hoping the darkness and quiet will offer some relief, an escape from all the guilt and shame you feel. Guilt and shame that comes from collapsing in on yourself, pushing away friends and family, [...]

Disability 26m

Inspiration Porn experiences

Hi Guys, I'm a disabled teenager and I've had a lot of experiences with people calling me inspirational and saying they could never live with my conditions which I'm sure you understand is a bit of a downer.

Anyway, I'm currently doing a research project for my English Language A-Level into inspiration porn and the use of words like inspirational which objectify people with disabilities to raise awareness (partially to my teacher who said she was just so amazed by my persistence and strength for travelling to a different country). Could anyone offer any anecdotes or quotes about their own experiences with this issue for me to submit?

Thank you for any help!!

Grief 1h

Rough Day

Today has been 6 years since I lost my mom to cancer. As years pass it doesn’t get any easier. Just harder. Not as day goes by where I don’t think about her. She was my everything. My best friend. She took care of me until we found out she was sick. Her last words to me was I love you too. Have a good day #Grief #CheckInWithMe

TRUE or FALSE: I find it easy to honor my needs.

Happy Monday, Mighty family!

This week we’ll be reflecting on honoring our needs.

What does it mean to "honor your needs?" Glad you asked! From our emotional to mental to physical health, we all have different ways we navigate the world around us. And since we’re people with varying experiences, the things we need in each of those buckets may look different.

There’s no shame at all in having needs, prioritizing them, and communicating those needs to the people or environments around us.

Do you feel it’s easy for you or is it something you’re working toward improving?

➡️ P.S. It’s OK to reflect, act, and prioritize our needs for our well-being. In fact, it’s often necessary.
