Mental Health is an important topic and that’s my focus for this account!

Day 2,849 of sharing suicide prevention resources like 988! #22PushupChallenge

If you're in the Milwaukee area, join my team for this year's American Foundation for Suicide Prevention Out of the Darkness Walk on October 5 at Veterans Park (program starts at 4:30p): https://t.co/irQ74j1cvJ #OutOfTheDarknessWalk #TogetherToFightSuicide

September 10 is World Suicide Prevention Day and it’s also my Day 2,792 of the 22 Pushup Challenge for the previous average of 22 U.S. veterans who die by suicide each day. #22PushupChallenge #WorldSuicidePreventionDay

When you’re not in crisis or actively working on yourself, how often do you set appointments with your therapist? I’d love to go once a month, but my budget is a little tight right now so I’m once about every 2-3 months.

Pet peeve: when I open an app to clear a notification, I do the action needed, close the app and it still shows I have 1 notification waiting. Then go back in to see if I missed something, nothing. Close. Still there. 🫠

Some of my favorite books were recommended by my therapist (it’s like she gets me 😉). I’ve only read 8 of the “101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think” by @BriannaWiest and I already know, this will be a re-read for me! What book would you suggest for personal growth?

Years ago, my therapist recommended I read a book called “Attached.” I finally finished it! Just scheduled a session with my therapist to discuss what I’ve learned about myself.

We’re ADHD, we hyper focus on things we’re really interested in… #ADHDAwareness

I joined X back when it was still called Twitter… #MyXAnniversary

As for the #22PushupChallenge, here’s the background of it and my dedicated participation for over 2,500 days on IG.

This ongoing medication shortage is causing gaps in routine which is really important to those managing mental health conditions associated to ADHD. #ADHDAwareness #ADHDMedication

If you have AppleTV, I highly recommend #TheCrowdedRoom! It’s a great portrayal of how mental illness is perceived and how difficult it can be when you’re not seen or understood. Be aware, it may be triggering for survivors of SA. It’s a very powerful 10 episode series.

For Milwaukee #NavyWeek, @NavyOutreach invited me to do my 2,387th day of the #22PushupChallenge with sailors! Count me in!

I’m terrible at creating and keeping healthy habits… but I think if I make it a game, I may do better. Make it points based, more points for new habits, fewer points for current ones. Prizes could be added - but I’m competitive enough, I may not need them.

Think of the kind messages you’ve received, compliments at work/school, personal wins or achievements… write these out or print them and include it all with your #MentalHealthFirstAidKit!

This week’s #BreakTheStigmaChallenge is to create a Mental Health First Aid Kit!

I created this account so there would be a place dedicated to just my mental health content efforts - great to be asked for an interview to increase the reach!

This is week 7 of an ongoing series - join in whenever you’d like and challenge yourself each week to help break the stigma around mental health!

For this week’s #BreakTheStigmaChallenge is to identify 3 wins at the end of each day!
