Mental Health Awareness: What You Need to Know about Mental Illness | Patricia a Carlisle

1. Tired physically and emotionally
2. I usually journal, go for walks, and do CrossFit. Something new I‘m trying recently is breathwork/meditation.
3. What books people have read on the topic of mental health/psychology, maybe advice people are willing to share that they‘ve gotten from a therapist that was a game-changer.

#mentalhealthmonday @Kerrbearlib

Kerrbearlib Sorry for the late response! I hope you are feeling more rested today. Those are great ways to practice self-care. I've never tried CrossFit but heard good things. I love the idea of sharing books people have read on the topic of mental health and sharing advice from therapists! Thanks for responding! 3w

Mental Health Awareness: What You Need to Know about Mental Illness | Patricia a Carlisle

I saw this on the Human Rights Campaign on Facebook.

I didn‘t even know July was BIPOC Mental Health Month. Did anyone else?

These came at the perfect moment because I was just trying to figure out how to ask these questions to my therapist regarding racism, oppression and the mental health impact of them.
