  • Sometimes life gives us lemons, makes things tough, or breaks us down. But it's important that you don't give up, that you keep going, even when things feel hopeless. Living with psychosis can be really challenging, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy it. And that certainly shouldn't stop you from seeing the beauty of it. Learn to love your life, even when it's sour. Lemons can be sour too, until you learn to make lemonade. You are more than your illness and more than how it tries to make you feel. #URstrong #strong365 #staystrong #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalillness #selfcare #psychosis #recovery #askforhelp #depression #anxiety #bipolar #bipolardisorder #schizophrenia #schizoaffective #breakthestigma #endthestigma #personnotdiagnosis #panicattacks #iamnotmyillness #imnotashamed #iamnotmydiagnosis #notashamed #stigmafighter #shredstigma #stigmafree #positive #inspire

  • In our recent interview with Christine Frey we discussed what she thought teens struggling with psychosis needed to hear most. She explained, "I personally feel the best advice I can give has to do with power. You have power. The hallucinations and/or delusions do not have power." Christine wants all teens to know that they aren't alone. You can check out Christine's powerful initiative for change, @BrainXPProject! #URstrong #strong365 #staystrong #askforhelp #iamnotmyillness #endthestigma #psychosis #notalone #anxiety #depression #neurodiverse #neurodiversity #mondaymotivation #mentalhealthmonday You can read the full interview at: https://strong365.org/blog/mental-health-dont-lose-hope/
  • If you're hearing voices you're probably really worried or scared, but one thing you shouldn’t be feeling, is alone. A lot of other people just like you hear voices too. There are a lot of reasons why you might be hearing voices, schizophrenia is a common one. And while schizophrenia might sound really scary you've come to the right place, #Strong365 is an organization dedicated to outreach and education.

  • As we head into 2020, many of us are thinking of doing better by ourselves. For many people that often means taking better care of themselves. As you start making changes remember that self-care is allowed to be simple. These days we hear a lot about self-care that too often involves expensive products and services, but don't forget that self-care might be as simple and getting up and drinking a glass of water. Or stepping outside to get some air. Or maybe enjoying a cup of tea or coffee, sleeping in, or lighting some candles and taking an extra long shower. No body ever said self-care meant spending money, or going overboard with something complicated. Cuddle up with your pet and watch a movie or show, eat a healthy meal, hydrate. Self care isn't about how much you can spend on luxury items but how well you learn to care for yourself. Don't forget that self-care isn't about escape it's about helping yourself cope. #URstrong #strong365 #staystrong #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalillness #selfcare #psychosis #recovery #askforhelp #depression #anxiety #bipolar #bipolardisorder #schizophrenia #schizoaffective #breakthestigma #endthestigma #personnotdiagnosis #panicattacks #iamnotmyillness #imnotashamed #iamnotmydiagnosis #notashamed #loveyourself #shredstigma #stigmafree #positive #inspire
  • These days it can be hard to really love ourselves. Social media often leaves us envious of the lives of other people, especially if we have an illness or a disability. Despite the challenges that come along with learning to love and accept ourselves for who we are, it is one of the most important things we will ever do. Before you do anything, love yourself first. #URstrong #strong365 #staystrong #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalillness #selfcare #psychosis #recovery #askforhelp #depression #anxiety #bipolar #bipolardisorder #schizophrenia #schizoaffective #breakthestigma #endthestigma #personnotdiagnosis #panicattacks #iamnotmyillness #imnotashamed #iamnotmydiagnosis #notashamed #stigmafighter #shredstigma #stigmafree #positive #inspire
  • Psychosis can be scary but you're brave and equally as strong willed. Don't give up. Stay Strong. Be Brave. #URstrong #strong365 #staystrong #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalillness #selfcare #psychosis #recovery #askforhelp #depression #anxiety #bipolar #bipolardisorder #schizophrenia #schizoaffective #breakthestigma #endthestigma #personnotdiagnosis #panicattacks #iamnotmyillness #imnotashamed #iamnotmydiagnosis #notashamed #stigmafighter #shredstigma #stigmafree #positive #inspire
