#GPRepost, #reposter, #notetag @thepaintedbrain via @GPRepostApp ======> Carrie Fisher used her celebrity to champion women's causes. She used her bipolar disorder shamelessly and fearlessly - to speak out, to turn mental illness on its head, fight the shame and stigma faced by millions of people who live with mental illnesses, and to inspire others to do the same. Now that spirit is needed more than ever. We will surely miss her, and will not forget her legacy nor the many lives she touched; even as we acknowledge there is much work to be done... . During the month of march, we explored the theme of anxiety disorder on our posts. As we end March that is Women's History month and get ready for April's Autism Awareness month, we'd like to leave with one of Carrie's juiciest quotes (She was in fact well-known for many great quotes). Enjoy! . . . #RIPCarrie #mentalhealth #bipolardisorder #autismawarnessmonth #WomensHistoryMonth #CarrieFisher #mentalillness #selfconfidence #empower #fightstigma #endthestigma #stigmafighters #imnotashamed #eachmindmatters #mentalhealthmatters
