It is well-known by now to those around me that I live with mental illness. I spend my days off writing for mental health organizations, coaching others through online forums and advocating for those who cannot advocate for themselves.

I have a huge ache in my heart to help those who cannot help themselves due to the blinders of mental illness. I fight for them because I’ve been there.

I’ve been a keynote speaker for many events and I’ve planned walks and fundraisers in the name of spreading the word on mental illness.

How This Controversial Comic Can Actually Promote Better Mental Health
I’ve been following the Instagram account @pet_foolery for a while. Their account is comprised of cute comics of little animals that usually have humor or a positive message, and for me it’s been an uplifting account to follow. However, one of their recent posts led to a lot of controversy in the comment section due to whether the message was positive, realistic or downright invalidating and dismissive. I personally think the comic in question is a great message to anyone with a mental health disorder and found myself relating heavily.

Why Everyone Should Listen to This Queer Mental Health Podcast
My former professor Dr. Wyatt Hermansen and their partner, singer Mary Lambert, have collaborated in a podcast that is my new obsession. As two people with bipolar disorder, their show is fittingly called “The Manic Episodes.” I am slightly biased in writing a good review for their podcast since Dr. Hermansen was one of my favorite professors during my time at Westfield State University. Despite this, I firmly believe people with mental disorders would get a lot out of the couple’s firsthand lens on their multilayered identities as they cope with mental disorders and chronic pain, and move through the world as queer and fat in a world that favors mentally stable, straight, skinny people.

When Your Family Compares Your Mental Illness With Another Relative’s Experience
Recently, I was listening to a podcast interviewing a woman with chronic mental illness, who was discussing how she juggles parenting with her mental health. The woman mentioned that her son struggled with his own mental health issues that presented differently from her own. The discussion turned to how families can inadvertently create a situation where one individual becomes the “poster child” for mental illness within the family unit, which may inhibit others within the family from acknowledging their own struggles because they don’t fit the familial narrative of what it means to be mentally ill.

7 (Actually Helpful) Things to Say to Someone Struggling With Mental Illness
“I get sick of people telling me what not to do, and then not telling me what to do.” No one likes to hear they are doing something wrong. Sometimes, it can be a thing of just feeling a bit foolish; like someone pointing out you are pulling on a door with a sign saying, “push.” Other times, it can be downright demoralizing, leaving the person wishing they had never tried in the first place. I have been on the giving and receiving end of the latter.

What This Nurse With Chronic Illness Learned From Her Patients
I was diagnosed with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) about halfway through my final year of nursing school. In the middle of my exams I was hospitalized, which was an incredibly grounding experience given that I had just spent a large chunk of time on the other side of the hospital bed learning how to look after people. I was shocked at how vulnerable I felt, even though intellectually I understood exactly what was going on around me.

What It Was Like Recovering From a Medically Induced Coma
We all know what it looks like when someone comes out of a coma, right? After all, we’ve seen it on screen dozens of times. A patient lies unconscious in a hospital bed, usually intubated. A loved one waits by their bedside, scared, sad and exhausted. Suddenly the patient’s finger twitches. They slowly open their eyes, and a loved one calls for a nurse. The intubation tube is removed, and there is a moment of suspense. Then the patient quietly speaks. Yay! They’re back! Happy tears and hugs all around. A short time later, the patient is sitting up in bed with a hospital food tray in front of them, chatting with visitors.

When a Doctor Said I Couldn't Be Autistic Because I'm a Musician
I sat down in front of the doctor and felt small almost immediately — realizing the power that this professional stranger had over me and my immediate future. He was the person in charge of either giving me a key to the inside or leaving me locked out on the outside where I had always been. He was the person in charge of either listening to me and taking the time to believe my concerns, or simply writing me off and handing me a prescription for anti-depressants – a sticking plaster over the truth. As it turns out, that’s exactly what he did that day in December 2016.

We Need to Stop Normalizing Family Alcoholism
I grew up in a family who completely normalized regular alcohol consumption like it was no big deal. Family gatherings often included more coolers and kegs of beer than food or other types of beverages, and pretty much everyone over the age of 18 would have a beer or glass of wine in their hand the entire night. The running joke was that because of Irish and German heritage, this is what we do.

Let's Normalize Talking About Your Emotions and Mental Health
“Will Adam Burak please come down to the main office?” was a message I heard over the loudspeaker dozens of times while in elementary school. Still, it startled me and sent me into an anxious spiral. Heads turned, while stares of confusion and intrigue shook me to my core as I walked to the door. I knew where I was going, but no one else did. It was time for occupational therapy, a time that I dreaded, not because OT was difficult or was not beneficial, but because I would have to lie to my friends and peers in class when they asked where I went. I did not like lying, but I was so concerned about their opinions and ashamed of feeling different that I did not feel comfortable sharing anything about OT.
