Eating Disorders

Happy Friday, Mighty friends! 💙

We’re approaching the middle of the month, and we’re curious how these past few weeks have been treating you.

💫 The end of the year and the holiday season can be rough for many of us, so we’re sending extra love and Mighty hugs your way!

It’s been years since I first found the courage to seek support for my mental health. It feels like a distant memory now, but I still remember the emotions that came up: fear, intense anxiety, confusion, determination, anger, frustration, and sadness. I didn’t fully understand what was happening at the time, but I’m grateful I made the right choice for myself.

What emotions came up for you when you first asked for help or reached out to someone?

💌 Gentle note: I know how hard it can be to ask for help. If you're starting that journey now, we’re here to support you—both here on The Mighty and at NAMI-NYC. 🫶

Emotions are not meant to be controlled or contained. They are meant to flow. The more you try to hold on to happiness, the more it slips away. The more you resist sadness, the stronger it becomes. Peace begins when you stop fighting the natural rhythm of your emotions. Let yourself feel everything — joy, sadness, calm, fear — and then let it move through you. That is how healing happens.

What emotion have you been holding on to lately? 👇

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks and Mighty staffer @carla1234 were chatting recently when the topic of creativity came up. It immediately made @sparklywartanks light up with passion and excitement — she realized she hadn’t openly talked about her favorite topic in a long time. Getting the chance to express herself in that way completely made her day.

Talking about the things that matter to us is important, and being able to share those thoughts with people who support and listen helps us feel heard, seen, confident, and empowered.

Whether it’s related to a hobby, your health, a special interest, or something you’re currently navigating or learning, what’s a topic you wish more people would ask you about? Why is that topic important to you?

Do you guys think there's an evolution in our mental health self-talk? Which of these three viewpoints speaks the loudest in your mind?
