Today is World Mental Health Day Mental Health journeys can look and mean something different for everyone, mine is definitely unique with a sprinkle of living with a disability and being a content creator I have good days, bad days and THOSE days - in case it’s not talked about enough here it goes There are days I put a brave face on, a happy face on and I tell everyone everything is okay, when in reality it’s not. Living with a disability is a roller coaster that no one prepares you for, and the high ups and low downs are not for the weak I struggle with pain and limitations that anger me sometimes, and I am actively working on cutting myself a break - something I’m 100% unfamiliar with because *hustle culture* I grew up going above, beyond and the extra mile just to convince society that I was worthy, that I could “pull my weight” and that my disability needed very little to zero accommodations - because who wants to be a burden right? Well WRONG - little did I know I’m worthy just the way I am, but that’s something I’m still actively working on Being on the internet is both the most fulfilling and terrifying thing I’ve done, putting myself out there and sharing my life is my passion - but sometimes it weighs heavily on my mental health. Not everyone is ready to talk about inclusion - disability inclusion specifically, and some don’t even believe we should be included. But I’ve found a beautiful community online and I want you to know you’re the reason I keep showing up, the reason I keep advocating for inclusion. If you’ve made it this far I want you to know mental health is not linear, it’s a journey with ups, downs, zigzag lines and unexpected turns. But you’re not alone, and I’m really glad you’re here. And if you’re ever having one of those days please reach out!! there are resources available, you’re so loved, and we need more people like you in our world. Every new day is what you make it, so make it as beautiful as you are🌸 Ps: on those bad days I promise you a tattoo fixes everything 😂🐉 • #worldmentalhealthday #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #disabilityinclusion #disabilityvisibility #inclusivebeauty
