Rare Disease

In moments of stress or overwhelm, knowing how to find relief is important—whether that means leaning on our own coping strategies or accepting support from others. Sometimes it’s having someone simply listen without judgment, delegating tasks to loved ones or friends, receiving words of encouragement, or even just having space and quiet time to recharge.

What kind of support do you most appreciate in times of stress or overwhelm? And what makes that type of support especially helpful for you?

Let’s put our adventure caps on, Mighties, and become tourists for the day! 🤠

If you were visiting your own city or town for the first time and wanted to visit an attraction, restaurant, or engage in an activity you’ve never done before — where would you go and what would you do?

Taking care of your mental health starts with how you treat yourself.

If your mind is already attacking you with harsh thoughts, the last thing you need is to pile more judgment on top of it. What you need is kindness—patience, forgiveness, understanding.

The way you speak to yourself matters. It can be the difference between staying stuck and finding the strength to move forward. And when you learn to give that kindness to yourself, it becomes so much easier to share it with the world around you.

How can you show yourself more kindness 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 receive a new diagnosis, research your symptoms, or talk with your doctor, specialist, therapist, or psychiatrist, you may come across words and concepts you’ve never heard before. Sometimes, learning these terms can open up a whole new perspective and provide validation for what you’ve been experiencing.

What’s a medical term you’ve learned along the way?

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?

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?
