Mental Health Awareness

[InfraredHero]

This is a good idea. I've got a friend who has dealt with Paranoia, so I've seen a little bit of what it can do. I know I will never completely understand what people who deal with these types of things go through, but I still feel sorry for them.

Aye, a good thing, this, but a dire shame that there are those who disrespect them when they climb a steeper mountain.

Thanks Meg. I'll be taking sleep disorder

All of the sigs are so pretty. Thanks for making this thread, I wouldn't have known about this month otherwise.

This was an amazing idea!

Personally I have two mental disabilities, not really sure difference, as well as friends with someone who was bipolar. Though we have moved apart, I wonder how she is doing and sometimes worry about her and hope she has found people who understand her. Not to mention my special someone is starting to go through depression and I've been certain for almost as long as I've known 'em that they were socially awkward and possibly because of anxiety. So if is alright, I will be taking the general mental health one.

That's fine. Wear which ever you want. Switch every day if you wish.

These are lovely, Meg. I'm gonna wear the anorexia one for awhile in celebration of recognizing it and overcoming it little by little.

I have a friend with anxiety and depression, looking at them as hopeless nutcases sure doesn't help their conditions, luckly there are people like you guys trying to light up the situation

Remember feel free to change if you'd like.

I know I'm late to the party but... This is a beautiful idea, thank you Meg, from the bottom of my heart. I'll definitely share my story later today (if I can even write the whole thing in one sitting) as mental health is something that deeply effects me and my life. I suffer from it myself - anxiety, PTSD, and gender dysphoria specifically - my mom suffers from Major Depression, my gf PTSD, my best friend from Social Anxiety, my little sister and my dad PTSD, and I've known and been close to people who have suffered from ADHD, major bipolar, hard-core addictions to drugs or alcohol. It's not something as uncommon as people like to pretend that it is, and I'm glad we're bringing awareness to it here on RPA. I wouldn't be opposed to this becoming a yearly thing, if things go smoothly c:

Thank you again for this, Meg, and everyone else on staff. Ya'll are lovely, and I hope you're all well ♥
