bridging the gap in the mental health space-Free And Accessible to Everyone

Emotional care is a daily journey and mental health self-aid should be a key component of your treatment program, experts say, and I can attest to this fact by the huge role that I play in getting myself from Treatment-Resistant Depression of the severest level of Major Depressive Disorder inherited from both sides of my family along with their generational traumas, amongst other Complex Traumas/C-PTSD, to Partial Remission, which means that my acute emotional symptoms have abated/subsided and actually are truly gone (according to the experts description).
The only “residual” symptom I have left is a physical symptom- fatigue, which is nowhere near as bad as it used to be, but there are a couple “ADLs” (Activities of Daily Living) that I do need help with.

What I pulled together and updated to share with every single member of our Mighty community is what highly-educated, behavioral health professionals have provided us —specific, well-known, respected mental health and emotional wellbeing websites— quality of information, tools, resources, and support that we all need and have at our fingertips everyday.

If the website pages below do not show up as links, I would be happy to try to put the individual links in conversation threads below if anyone would like me to.

As they say, Knowledge is Power.
My hope is that you put the power into your own hands, and also let us know in the comments below if you have more to add to the below list or if you are familiar with some of these, if you have utilized them and what you think of them.

And, please share this post and the vast amount of knowledge, tools, resources, and support that is here free and accessible to Everyone.

Also, I implore loved ones, partners, friends, family, caregivers to step up more to help us have the environment in which this hard work we push through is not for nothing, but acknowledged, understood, and appreciated.

Everyday Tasks with a Rare Disease or Chronic Illness

Everyday tasks

There are so many everyday things people take for granted that people with chronic illnesses or other disabilities cannot do.

For example:

Being able to get out of bed in the morning

Eating without pain

Pain-free days

Standing and walking

Being able to work

Maintaining friendships

Being able to exercise

Being independent

These are the simple things so many people take for granted each and every day, so when you think life is hard, remember it could be so much worse ❤️

Chronic Fatigue

I had throat cancer. I had surgery and 25 sessions of radiation to my head area. It has been 2 years since my last radiation. I am 64. I never had fatigue before. Now I have profound fatigue every day. I am always tired. No matter how long I sleep, I wake up feeling like I never slept. I read this fatigue lasts 6 months. So far, it has been over 2 years. Is something wrong with me?

Chronic Illness Grief

Excerpt from -

Gracefully Ill: Finding Peace in the Chaos of Chronic Illness

Sometimes grief is quiet & comes up at unexpected times. Other times grief is loud and powerful, and drowns put the rest of our world. What makes grief so overwhelming is that by nature, it doesn’t have a solution or a final answer. ☁️ perhaps healing might mean being able to sit with the loss. Being able to face it head on. Being able to feel it. ☁️ perhaps healing might mean no longer feeling so trapped within four walls of darkness. ☁️☁️☁️

grieving our health may not have a end point. It may be something that sometimes washes over us in giant dark waves, and maybe sometimes it will just lap gently at our toes. ☁️ but I hope we can all remember to be gentle with ourselves when grieving - and that we can be gentle with ourselves when we cry over a wound that we thought had already healed.

We grieve our losses more than once - and when we do, we can take all of the time we need until we feel a little bit lighter again. ☁️☁️☁️
