One major issue is that mental health problems are still considered taboo in many parts of the world. Even people living in developed countries sometimes still feel ashamed to ask for help when they’re struggling. And though the situation might be improving in parts of the world, it’s important to constantly bring the discussion about mental health into the spotlight. In any way possible. In this day and age that means even using memes!

The ‘Mental health memes’ Instagram page, @serotoninismydaddy, touches on sensitive issues in witty, relatable, and surprising ways. Remember, laughter is good for your health, so don’t feel bad if you start chuckling as you scroll down. And don’t forget to book a session with a therapist if you genuinely need one.

    I had an eating disorder when I was young, and I still struggle with healthy eating habits. It's either too much eating or not at all. I managed to live on two sandwiches and a meal for about a year until I developed deficiencies (hair falling out, tired ALL the time, nails tearing and such). Eating disorders are a b***h. EDIT: a sandwich would be a little white-bread bun in this case, with only a thin slice of cheese.

    Sayings it out loud, hearing yourself say these things, accepting that you're dealing with it and its impact on you finally - that's a LOT to process and deal with. Your breakdown was completely normal as you try to figure this out and your brain finally let's you fully accept, process, discuss, and work figure out a solution to it all as you work towards a better life for yourself. Proud of you! You made it through the hardest part. - talking about it for the first time.

    I figured out early on w/ sons severe ADD that writing down each step made it easier for him to work on keep focused. We scheduled in 5 to 10 minute breaks every 30-45 minutes so he didn't get overwhelmed. If only his 5th grade teacher had followed the formula, maybe he wouldn't have ended up hating school. She constantly berated him in class for needing special attention at times, which made it worse. At almost 29,with a 20 month old boy & 6 month old girl, he still struggles to believe he is worrhy, smart, kind, a wonderful dad,everything because that b!tch hated special education students, believing that they took away from the "normal " kids. Words are powerful. Use them wisely. Once spoken, you can't take it back. Words can have a true impact on people (good & bad) and you never know the long term effects they can have. Better to walk away than hurt someone.

Word to the wise: do NOT start experimenting with drugs in your late 30s. The only upside is that my brain finally shut up with all the bad thoughts :< (I've been clean for almost a year now!)
