Posted @withrepost @crazyheadcomics some tips and tricks for alleviating anxiety i use these a lot, especially the focus on your breathing i used to... roll my eyes at my therapist when she’d tell me you’ve gotta take a deep breath, and then ten more. but it is SO important to breathe. you cannot calm down if you’re hyperventilating, you can’t relax if you’re tensing up. your mind and body are intertwined, so you must tend to them both. do you have any tips for dealing with anxiety ? share in the comments and let’s help each other out #mentalhealth #mentalillness #mentalhealthawareness #psynligt #nostigma #mentalhealthwarrior #recovery #schizophrenia #eatingdisorders #bulimia #anorexia #ptsd #borderline #bpd #ocd #bipolar #bipolardisorder #anxiety #depression #pain #chronicillness #adhd #art #digitalart #artistsoninstagram #comic #crazyheadcomics . . .

"Just one supportive adult cuts the chance an LGBTQ+ youth will attempt suicide by 40%." Be the change. Let's show up for each other and our youth powerfully ...From Mental Health America: "As we move into the new school year, we must protect the safety and wellbeing of LGBTQ+ youth. While trying to deal with all the challenges of being a teenager, LGBTQ+ teens also have to deal with harassment, threats and violence directed at them on a daily basis. LGBTQ+ youth are nearly twice as likely to be called names, verbally harassed or physically assaulted at school compared to their non-LGBTQ+ peers. Screeners at http://MHAscreening.org who identified as transgender are most likely to screen positive or moderate to severe for a #mentalhealth condition (89%), and young transgender screeners ages 11-17 are most at risk. Half of LGBTQ+ screeners report significant thoughts of suicide or self-harm, compared to 33% of non-LGBTQ+ screeners. Their mental health and education, not to mention their physical well-being, are at-risk. Support the LGBTQ+ youth in your life. According to @trevorproject, just one supportive adult cuts the chance an LGBTQ+ youth will attempt suicide by 40%. Learn more at the link in our bio.
