#youreneeded

This light hearted post from 2 years ago is spreading massively across the heavy metal network, there's nothing better for your mood than to stick on something to lift your spirits, we understand that this is not a cure for deep emotional issues and actively encourage anyone to speak to us if they wish if they are needing support. What song lifted you up today? #metalhealth #youreneeded #keepthelighton #dreambig #playmetal #fightitwithheavymetal #hedrafriends #hedrametal https://www.instagram.com/p/BwznOJEHwQR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=em5eioeic7dp

“Refuse to become a prisoner in your own mind. Your #mentalillness is a liar. You are not all the awful things it tells you. You are brilliant. You are beautiful. You are strong. You are worthy of life and deserve a wonderful one.” - @joseph_penola ・ #YouMatter #YoureNeeded #YouRock https://www.instagram.com/p/BsLIDIJnSl6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=lh8z7zrb37r5

This is often how life feels, but that doesn't mean that’s how it is. A lie told enough times on an endless loop in your head will feel like the truth. Please step back and see possibility instead of the terrible story you’ve been telling yourself. ・ It can be difficult to shift your perspective so dramatically, but you need to make an effort and take action before expecting results. If you consciously consider hope and love instead of the alternative, the darkness will eventually give way to light and you’ll be able to see those damning lies for what they actually are. ・ You get to choose how to frame your life. No one else can do it for you so choose to transform what you’ve perceived as a curse into a blessing. Choose to write an empowering story that serves you and use it to replace the damning one your #mentalillness has be telling you your whole life ・ #YouMatter #YoureNeeded #YouRock ・ [Art by @derekhess.

Thank you so much @TommyVext of @BadWolvesOfficial for dropping down on the streets of New York to sign your banner from the "Why Is Music Important?" photo show! It shows you will do things to help people no matter where you are. Tommy's signed banner is for sale with profits being donated to @YouRockFNDN. The funds from that sale and others will allow us to make more inspirational videos that help those struggling with a #mentalillness on a global scale via our online platform. It also funds our school visits and public speaking engagements that help spread awareness and empower audience. The sooner we can educate others regarding #mentalhealth, the sooner we will stop people from taking more painful, drastic measures to relieve their pain. Please message me if interested in purchasing Tommy Vext’s signed banner. The vinyl banner is Tommy’s portrait from his testimony to the foundation with his words written underneath. #YouMatter #YoureNeeded #YouRock https://www.instagram.com/p/BrnqPbenVIi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1sl5v04z66opx
