Rare Disease

When you're deep in depression, it feels like you're waiting.
Waiting for something to change.
For someone to show up.
For a reason to get out of bed.

But here's the truth.

No one is coming to save you.

And before that breaks your heart, hear the rest:
No one needs to.

You don’t need a hero. You need belief.
Not in everything. Not all at once.
Just in yourself. Enough to begin.

Getting out of bed.
Drinking water.
Answering that message.
Doing the one thing you’ve been avoiding.

Because the less you believe in yourself, the more that belief fades.
But the moment you try, you begin to prove to yourself that you can.
And the more you try, the more you become.

What’s one small act of belief you can show yourself today?

Also, if you're going through a tough time right now, I want you to know that I post daily mental health videos about how I recovered from depression and suicide back when I was a teen.

When you live with a mental and/or physical health condition, it can be tough to seek adventure outside of your home… but that doesn’t have to stop you from fulfilling your sense of adventure entirely. 💭🤔

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks feeds her sense of adventure by having "family days" and planning out creative activities and games to play with them, all from the comfort of home.

What are some ways you can feed your sense of adventure without ever stepping foot outside your front door?

Your thoughts don’t define you. Neither do your emotions or your past experiences.

They come and go, and sometimes they’re heavy. But underneath them all, there’s you. The part of you that notices, chooses, and keeps going.

When you start seeing your thoughts as just thoughts, they lose their power. They’re not facts. They’re not destiny. They’re just passing through.

You are not the noise in your head. You are the one strong enough to witness it and keep moving forward.

What’s one thought you’ve learned to stop believing?

Happy Monday, Mighties!

This week we'll be delving into the world of adventure! 🧭

Let's start by sharing what you feel is the best adventure you've ever been on. This adventure doesn't only have to be traveling or going on vacation, it can also be your career, being a parent, getting a degree, moving, or even embarking on your healing or health journey.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks shared that the best adventure she's ever been on is learning how to love herself better.
