Sharing our experiences and seeking support, guidance, or understanding can be incredibly validating—especially in moments of uncertainty or isolation. But sometimes, the responses we get from others can be disappointing, hurtful, or even harmful (even if unintentional).

Has someone ever said something that wasn’t helpful when you opened up about your health? What was it?

Whether you’re managing mental health challenges or symptoms, adjusting to life changes, or facing uncertainties about your health or other factors and areas of life, anxiety can show up in different ways and intensities.

How’s your anxiety today?

🙂 Non-existent – Not feeling anxious today.
⚖️ Mild and manageable – Feeling anxious at times, but overall doing OK.
🥀 Moderate and uncomfortable – Anxiety is affecting my daily functioning and/or sleep.
🌪️ Severe or panic level – Experiencing panic and needing extra support.

Hi, Mighty friends! 🌅

Let’s cheer each other on and celebrate all the things we know we’re good at, are practicing regularly, or are slowly getting more comfortable embracing.

Whether it’s being a great listener, making people laugh, staying organized, crafting, gaming, cooking, being on time, pushing forward through challenges, advocating for yourself, or simply getting out of bed on tough days — it all counts.

💬 What are you good at?

🌻 Gentle reminder: If this activity feels challenging or you’re having a tough day, know that we’re really proud of you for being here on The Mighty. That alone is worth celebrating. We’re cheering you on today — and every day after. 💜

Health conditions, challenging circumstances, chronic pain, insomnia, unanswered questions, or unexplained symptoms can make each day different, some more difficult to get through than others. As Mighties, we know this all too well. 🙋‍♀️

What are you finding most difficult right now? How are you coping? What's helping you find relief or balance?

Stress is a normal and natural response to something that's uncomfortable, challenging, demanding, or threatening to our well-being or to the well-being of those we care about. But prolonged stress, as we know, can affect our health in a multitude of ways.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks is thinking a lot about how she's dealt with stress over the years and how it's impacted her diagnosis of generalized anxiety disorder and PTSD. She's learning now how to identify when she's stressed because, for her, it's how she functions all the time. She's learning what helps her body feel safe and what calms her nervous system.

💡 Let's talk about it:
How do you know when your body is stressed?
What's your initial response to feeling stressed?
What are some positive coping strategies that help you manage your stress?
