IAmTheChange

For every person in our lives that left us in the horrible ways that they did-
We have new, amazing friendships forged here.

For every person that treats us despicably-even family, friends, and even medical professionals, and adds layers onto our other related past traumas we have been healing from, we only have to open The Mighty app and reach out to each other and we can count on the most beautiful, empathetic souls reaching back to be by our side so fast.

For every morning we wake up with pain coursing through our bodies and/or our minds from illnesses that are beasts, together we pull from each others’ inspiration and strength and we fight through each day as the warriors that we have become.

For any time we feel so alone in this, we can always post or join in a conversation here and see that we are never fighting our fight alone/never dealing with the hard blows of this kind of life alone.

For any time situations in our life cause very real anxieties that are overwhelming for anyone to handle, there is an army of us right here living in solidarity to help quell our anxieties.

For anytime we feel like we don’t exist, that we aren’t seen, that we aren’t valued and valuable, so many of us Mighties will always quickly let us know how incredibly important each of us are, and how cared about we all are by so many of us from all places around the world.

And this is all a great, bright light from the darkness. This is all a comforting balm to soothe the pain coursing through our bodies and our minds.
This is what makes us all rich instead of feelings of living in scarcity.
These are all the gifts that we have been given that is greater than any gift you could ever think you wanted.

We are each others’ wings that allow us to soar above it all.

Sorrow won’t be finding us no more when we know all of these things.
Emptiness and hopelessness cannot exist when we know these things.
We have so much to be joyful about.

Let us all keep seeing all of the beauty and gifts from the pain.

Let us all keep rising stronger together and show this world all of the greatness that we are, even on our worst days.

Let us all continue to save each other and continue to save ourselves.
That ultimately is the power we have and the responsibility we have - it ultimately is up to us to be the change that we want for ourselves and for others.

I stand with Talinda Bennington and pledge to Know the Five Signs of Emotional Suffering to change the culture around mental illness.

Who will help make the change with me?

Post a picture or a few words in solidarity with #IAmTheChange and mental health hashtags to help show fellow Mighties you’re here for them and that it’s OK to talk about mental illness 💕.

I have pledged to know the Five Signs of Emotional Suffering because we all have mental health and we should speak openly about our struggles so everyone can seek the care they deserve.
On World Mental Health Day I will be joining the Change Direction Jam to talk more about the importance of Mental Health- I ask that you make a pledge to know the Five Signs by sharing your own Five Signs Selfie and register today to join me for this free, global, virtual conversation on October 10th.

I’m gonna be talking about mental health with some friends. I’m gonna tell them about the Five Signs of Emotional Suffering. Mental health is something that needs to be talked about. And I want to start that conversation with my friends. #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealth

With Talinda Bennington, I'm pledging to help change the way we view and talk about mental health.

A single voice can make a difference for one person, so let's extend that voice together to reach those who need to hear it.

#CheckInWithMe #IAmTheChange #MentalHealth #Anxiety #Depression #Suicide

Mighty family — we have the incredible opportunity to change the way so many people in this world view mental health, emotional wellness and suicide.

You’re already doing this — by showing up even on the hard days, by being open and honest about what you’re going through, by checking in with yourself and one another, and by supporting and reminding each other we’re not alone each and every day.

Today, I pledge to be the change. And I hope you’ll join me — because *you already are the change.*💪

Let’s stand together: Post a selfie like mine, or simply post “I Am The Change.”

The road may not be easy, but I’m glad we’re walking it side by side. 🐾
