If your mental health were an animal, what animal would it be?

Hi Mighty fam! 🩷

If you could pick an animal that represented your mental health right now (real or fictional), what would you choose? What makes that animal fit where you are right now?

For me, it would be a turtle. I've been finding myself wanting to be alone in my dark, quiet shell — my safe space — moving at my own pace.

Hallo

Hi, I’m Chris.

For a very long time, I couldn’t picture a future I wanted to be part of. I struggled from childhood well into adulthood, and I began to believe that was simply how my life would always feel.

Then, one ordinary Thursday, sitting in a rather undignified place, I realised something that caught me completely off guard.

I was happy.

There’s a much longer story behind those three words. It involves bipolar disorder, a man called Braam, finding treatment with my psychiatrist, my faith, and a little dog called Hobbits who always seems to know when I need her.

I’m also autistic and have ADHD, and there are things I’m still learning how to navigate. Happiness hasn’t made every difficulty pack a suitcase and leave. But I have a future I look forward to now, and that once felt impossible.

I joined because I want to share that hope—and get to know people whose experiences might help me understand my own a little better.

If you’ve been struggling for a long time, I won’t pretend to know what your path will look like. I just want you to know that mine changed long after I had stopped believing it could.#BipolarDisorder #AutismSpectrumDisorder #EatingDisorder #ADHD Glad to be here.
