@marktee is triggered by the most unusual things like Maslow's hierarchy which he last taught while a lecturer @sydney_uni. Stress as a student and staff at #USyd triggered his #psychosis. Luckily #wellways have a discomfort agreement and have queered up the #maslowshierarchyofneeds at #themhs2018. #ndis #outtogether https://www.instagram.com/p/BnFZcD5jhmg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=oozdcxtj10ta

Oh yeah, breathing. Forgot about that but I actually do need more mindful focus on breath and remember to 'practice the pause'. #wisdom #wisdomwednesday #quote #quoteoftheday #themhs #themhs2018 @shannonjaccard (at Adelaide Convention Centre) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnCxoRWH_j6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19f74lthlg21q

"Despair is suffering without meaning." Psychiatrist and #Halocaust survivor Viktor Frankl saw #suffering as an inevitable part of life and ppl who suffer must try to find meaning to it. #madnotmad #wisdomwednesday https://www.instagram.com/p/BnCph3UjTLm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=x2oxf3rsac72

@marktee will give a free ticket to @TheMHS2019 Brisbane if he wins to someone with lived experience because more true stories of #mentalhealth need to be shared among peers via this important learning network. (at Adelaide Convention Centre)

Nice way to start #themhs2018 with Matthew Ball talking about our 3 favourite themes: narratives, art and the #madnotmad duality. Artwork by a woman with lived experience of schizophrenia. (at Adelaide Convention Centre)

This could be the Preface to all of our stories of mental illness involving the love of our families. Can't wait to read the rest of the @penguinthemagpie memoir. (at Sydney, Australia)
