The holiday season is in full swing, and Thanksgiving is just around the corner, Mighty friends! Let’s take a moment today to share our "gratitude gifts" (big or small) that have supported or brightened our journey.

Who or what are you thankful for this season?

🦋 Gentle note: We understand that the holidays can be a challenging time for many, for a variety of reasons. Please know how deeply grateful we are to have you as part of our Mighty community. You’re what makes this space so special.

Our mind loves to attack us with the worst thoughts imaginable about how ugly, insignificant, incomplete, or unworthy we are. These are all lies. If you want to stop it from happening, practice focusing your awareness on this phenomenon. The more you recognize these lies, the better you can get at not listening to them. How many of you are willing to stand up against the mind and acknowledge that you are already beautiful exactly as you are?

The last video I made was about the most important trick to having good mental health. If this sounds useful to you, you can check out the video here:

Otherwise, if you have any questions about mental health, please post in my group or comment below and I will make a video response specifically for you.

~ Thanks to all. Thanks for all. ~

In the poll we asked earlier in the week, 44% of the group said that you only ask for help when it’s an emergency, so we’re curious what your experience is when helping others. Do you find it easier? How come?

P.S. We’ve heard so many community members share that they enjoy helping out those around them, especially those on The Mighty who are struggling. We applaud and commend all who have made The Mighty what it is today. 🏅

As a community living with one or more health conditions, we often spend a significant amount of time connecting with our doctors and care teams—whether they’re specialists, primary care providers, therapists, psychiatrists, or other medical professionals.

When it comes to communicating with your health care providers, what works best for you?

Do you prefer quick messages through a patient portal, the convenience of a phone call, the clarity of email, or the comfort of in-person visits? Maybe you rely on telehealth appointments for flexibility or value regular check-ins from your care team.

Share your preferences and experiences below! What communication methods make you feel heard and supported?
