I love seeing all your personal posts for

#IDONTMIND

and Mental Health Month. Keep sharing! Here’s how you can help if you haven’t already:

1) BUY A SHIRT. 100% of the proceeds support this important cause and also give you super cool shirt that tells the world where you stand. And when you put it on, you get a self-care boost from feeling like you’re a part of something that matters—talk about a win! 💪

2) DONATE. If you’ve already visited the shop and are feeling generous, you can always give a little more. Just click “donate” on the website—it’s tax deductible. 😊

3) SHARE. Tell your followers that you don’t mind opening up about your mental health, supporting your friends, and starting the conversation. Encourage them to get involved. Your support doesn’t need to involve money—just posting and sharing your story is enough. 🗣

It’s still Mental Health Month, and we’re trying to raise as much money as possible for

christophrwood: Well look at that: it’s Mental Health Month again! And what interesting timing for me, personally… let’s talk about it.

This year has tested me in so many ways, providing some of the best moments of my life while also finding new ways to kick me when I was down. It was infuritating—I had so much to be grateful for and so many aspects of my life were lining up just as I’d always dreamed… but all the same I felt this weight in my chest that kept pulling me down and not letting me up. But that’s how depression is. It’s not really concerned with what you consider to be convenient or rational, or ideal. And, this year, I really felt like quitting at times, and giving up. And it was only when I allowed myself to be honest about my struggle that I was finally able to begin the healing process. It was, once again, a turning point for me in my life when I was able to start a sentence about my own wellbeing with “I don’t mind…”. Admitting you need help is the only way to find it. I’m still a work in progress, and not every day is a good day. But I’m working on it.

Take care of yourself. Be there for your friends and family, and show yourself the same compassion you would show your best friend. And while you’re at it, use this occasional toxic and negative platform for something positive and good. Because you CAN make a difference, and every time you chose to, you DO.

I also want to bring in tons of money for
