#TELLYOURSTORYTUESDAY
We’re starting a new #mentalhealthadvocacy campaign that is centered upon #youngpeople telling their personal story of what it has been like to live w/mental health struggles and/or suicidal thoughts. This campaign will gather submissions from members of our community & post one video each Tuesday!
Let’s see if we can’t change some hearts & minds by standing in front of a camera & showing people the reality of what it’s like to struggle with one’s #mentalhealth on a daily basis & why & how some people can reach the point where they must fight their own #mind , thoughts, #emotions and instincts in order to live another day.
Email submission to info@eseforum.org or DM us! (both is best so it doesn’t get missed)‼️
TYST: "We Are All Fighting Battles Nobody Knows"
This important TYST is the brave story of Stuart Mills, founder and director of the one-of-a-kind mental health community called @thenoisybrainer which is a mental health community centered around the principle of turning the intrusive thoughts and other emotions or words that cause those of us who struggle with Mental Health and Emotional Issues (MHEI) so much pain, into the inspiration (often by turning these words into lyrics) for songs that can then provide hope and relief for both the originator of the song and anyone in the community who comes across it and finds meaning and a reason to keep fighting!
In this article (which is shared in part in this TYST), Stuart talks about his own experience with intrusive thoughts and how much turning those thoughts and emotions into music has helped him heal. When Stuart realized how much this process helped him with his MHEI he decided to found a mental health community and mental health app rooted in this foundational concept. The Noisy Brainer just celebrated their one year anniversary and they have achieved so much in just their first year! Please consider, downloading their app, it is an absolutely fantastic #Mentalhealthresources
