Updated my latest illustration. I wanted it to represent not just the “roar” but the reason behind why i illustrated it in the first place. One of the first exercises I was taught in therapy (for my OCD) is to take deep breathes and to focus on my breathe. … … #mentalhealthcomics #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthadvocate #relatablememes #selfcare #mindfulness #mindful #brain #brainhealth #ocd #ocdrawing #ocdmemes #ocdawareness #anxiety #anxietyawareness #anxietysupport #emotionalhealth #neurodivergent #neurodiversity #dailydrawing #dailydraw #illustration #art #artist #imfine #imfineitsfineeverythingsfine #itsokaynottobeokay #itsokaytonotbeokay

This intricate piece involves a collage of photographs I have taken and a drawing I created of the brain. Behind the bars is a human with mental health struggles that wants out. That has begun to heal with mother nature and is no longer willing to allow her peace to be disturbed. 🕷The spider symbolizes creating a new life for your yourself. 🐈The orange tabby is a symbol of optimism and determination. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthrecovery #worldmentalhealthday #mentalhealthsupport #mentalhealthadvocate #mentalhealthwarrior #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #mentalhealthquotes #mentalhealthblogger #mentalhealthday #mentalhealthawarenessweek #blackmentalhealth #mentalhealthisimportant #mentalhealthawarness #mentalhealthmonth #mentalhealthmemes #maternalmentalhealth #mentalhealthstigma #mentalhealthtips #mentalhealthblog #mensmentalhealth #blackmentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthweek #worldsmentalhealthday #mentalhealthjourney #mentalhealthart #endthestigmaofmentalhealth

⚠️TRIGGER WARNING⚠️: childhood trauma • • • • Originally, I had this blog post scheduled to be posted for this weekend without taking Mother's Day into consideration by coincidence. It was not until THIS weekend that I realized how fitting posting about Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) this weekend could be for the people who Mother's Day is hard for. There are people who lost their mothers, whose mothers abandoned, abused, or neglected them, who do not have a relationship with their toxic mothers, who grew up without mothers, or who struggle on Mother's Day for other valid reasons. • ACEs also known as childhood trauma are any traumatic experiences that occur during childhood at any time between birth to before turning eighteen years old. ACEs can negatively impact mental and physical health and this topic NEEDS to be less taboo. Click on the link in my bio to learn more about awareness, prevention, healing, and supporting people as they heal from ACEs❤️‍🩹✨️ • • [Image Description in comments] • • • • • #MothersDay2024 #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #AdverseChildhoodExperiences #ACEs #ChildhoodTrauma #MentalHealth #PhysicalHealth #PostTraumaticStressDisorder #PTSD #PostTraumaticStress #ToxicStress #Healing #TraumaInformedCareAndEducation #SocialEmotionalLearning #SEL #SocialEmotionalDevelopment #SpecialEducationMajor #EarlyChildhoodEducationMajor #FutureSpecialEducationTeacher #FutureLifeSkillsTeacher #TeachersOfInstagram #InfluencersOfInstagram #TeacherLife #MentalHealthAdvocate #DisabilityAdvocate

Recently I opened up to my family about how I lost my job at Chewy. I’ve been dreading this for weeks because I kinda had a feeling about how it may go, based on past conversations with them about the subject. But, I wasn’t prepared for what my mom would say about it. My mom told me that I needed to find a new job so I have a purpose in life. A job is not what gives someone a purpose in life and I hate that that’s what our society has led people to believe. I do agree that what you do with your life gives you meaning & purpose, but that doesn’t mean you need a job in order to do that. For me, my purpose is to educate people on the things that are important to me. To advocate for myself and others like me. To create art & spread joy through my art. THESE are the things that make me who I am. When I worked for Chewy, my purpose in life was still the same as it is now. My purpose in life was not to be a pharmacy technician for pets. It’s just not. So if you ever have someone trying to convince you to get a job (especially when you know you cannot handle it), show them your purpose through the things that make you YOU. Because that is who you are. . . . #piperrosekimble #autismawareness #autism #autismacceptance #servicedog #autismservicedog #servicedogsofinstagram #photography #dogphotography #lightroom #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #notalldisabilitiesarevisable #actuallyautistic #neurodivergent #autistic #servicedoghandler #disabled #disability #disabilityawareness #disabilities #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #mentalhealthmonth #mypurpose #job #jobsearch #disabilityactivist #disabilityadvocate #mentalhealthadvocate #selfadvocacy

Health and fitness content can be inspiring and motivating for some, but for others it can encourage them to compare and make them feel guilt and shame about their own eating or exercise routines. 🦋 Millennials and Gen Z are particularly impacted, with 1 in 5 Millennials admitting that diet and fitness content makes them feel dissatisfied with their bodies. Almost half of Gen Z (44%) considered acting on health and fitness advice shared by an influencer on social media. 💬 If you’re sharing your health and fitness journey, follow our tips to be a conscious creator and ensure your content isn’t unintentionally impacting those around you.

Society put a taboo on Mental Health sadly, over the years I’ve definitely opened up about my anxiety, depression and panic attacks I’ve been dealing with for years. As if what and how you feel makes you mental. Or to the fear of opening up about your vulnerability. Rather I feel that biggest block actually comes from acknowledging your mental health and what you are feeling. There’s literally no words to describe it. You can tell someone that your chest is heavy, and you can’t breathe, or the ground is falling under your feet, or how your heart if beating so fast you worry about having a heart attack. People can try to help you, and say everything will be okay, they will try to support you and understand, but the real raw truth is, you will and can’t unfeel what you’re feeling, and they will actually never truly understand the feeling. My favourite comment is “ but you always seem ok, you are amazing at your job, you work hard and push yourself, you own a business” well yeah I do love my job, I love what I do it’s my passion, but I will always ALWAYs put all my mental health issues aside to be the best I can daily for the children I work with or clients etc. • If this is relatable to you, you’re not alone, you can and should voice it, and you will get through each wave life throws at you ❤️‍🩹 • #empowerment #mentalhealth #selflove #anxiety #depression #mentalhealthadvocate #healing #selflove #voiceit #mentalhealthmatters💚

@americanuniversity x @school_of_public_affairs_ 2024 Commencement. 10, May 2024. 8 years in the DMV, countless friendships made, cultivated, and even lost, all while studying and working to sustain myself 200+ miles from home. But I am #proud to be #latino, #lgbtq, and a firm believer in the fact that when public policy involves a diverse set of community feedback loops it becomes easier to gauge post-implementation impact and effectiveness. Research informed policy planning can help bridge resource gaps, challenge legislation, and protect our most vulnerable from discrimination. I am EXTREMELY excited to announce on May 29th I will be speaking on a #mentalhealth panel at the #rayburn House on #CapitolHill!! I will be presenting some of my research regarding LGBTQ+ youth in Florida and how restrictive laws across the country have been impacting students as far as resource allocation (health services, housing services, gender-affirming care, etc.,) during the age of #dontsaygay. My research specifically focused on a #groupbased #policypracticum where my team interviewed advocates from @jasmynjaxlgbtq & @glsen and educators from central Florida. It is extremely important to me that I get to tell the stories of LGBTQ+ youth dealing with the uncertainty of being able to fully express themselves in the classroom AND at home. I cannot wait to participate in this #congressional panel and talk more about a topic so near and dear to my heart 💜💜💜💜 this one is for you Mavi 🫡🥺🎓🇨🇺🇵🇷 As a #firstgen, I wish I could have shared this with him but I know he is up there smiling down as we speak. -J.A.B. #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthadvocate #congress #briefing #congressionalbriefing #briefing #gradschool #master #masters #americanuniversity #ellewoods #capitolhilldc #downtowndc #dcpolitics #nonprofits #professional #graduation #2024AUGrad #AUGrad #suicideprevention

Mother’s Day is a time for celebration and gratitude, but for many, it can also bring complex emotions to the surface. Not everyone has a positive relationship with their mother, and others may be dealing with the pain of loss. Whatever your circumstances, it’s vital to acknowledge your feelings and give yourself permission to experience them entirely—whether they’re sad, complicated, or even indifferent. Consider speaking to a therapist if you find the day particularly challenging. Professional support can provide valuable strategies for coping and healing. Remember, Mother’s Day is just one day of the year. It’s okay to celebrate, mourn, or even ignore the day as you see fit. The most important thing is to take care of yourself and your emotional needs. 🫶🏼 @compassionatemind_therapy #compassionatemind_therapy #counseling #therapist #psychology #mindfulness #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth #mentalhealthadvocate #socialworker #mothersday #mindbodysoul #wellbeing #selfcompassion #therapy #psychotherapy #psychological #anxiety #depressionawareness #depressionhelp #bekind #motivation #grief #loss #bereavement #florida #newyork

We don’t need to keep inventing new attachment therapies. We need to stop raising kids alone in our houses. Kids were meant to be raised and shaped by community. Parents and kids were meant to be resourced by a 100 people. Not a nanny and two sleep deprived humans. Secure kids come from resourced parents.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month! Your mental health DOES matter. You are not a burden, it is okay to feel how you do. You are NOT "weird" or "crazy" or "abnormal" for any of this. You DO have a right to say how you feel and express your thoughts. You are worthy of having people actively listen to you. Your thoughts and feelings ARE valid. No one has the right to make you feel and think otherwise. You should feel safe in not just your environment and with others but yourself. There is ways to get help. You have a right to comfort, safety, and peace. ME 💁‍♀️ 🧠 I've had a tumultuous journey with my thoughts and feelings. I have felt like my brain has been played with in a sandbox for years. Toxic and traumatic childhood, literally painful childhood and teenhood along with isolation, ridicule, misunderstanding, and insecurity. Medical problems and anger/anxiety started young. I had a massive breakdown in college. My mind wasn't good. Nor was my relationships to self or others much. No one understood and I didn't know how to explain what they did see or hear because I didn't really know. Sometimes you don't. I tried to talk to a psychologist and psychiatrist multiple times until I found the right one. It can take a few attempts until you find the one you feel comfortable with. With mine we talk about birds, tv, and #rockpainting. I encourage you to not suffer or feel awkward with a team you cannot be relaxed and trusting with. You are important. They are really here to help although it be challenging and not appear it initially. If you have a close friend, a teacher, a peer mentor, guidance counselor, pastor, someone you can confide in, consider that. In the post photos I've provided information from the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
