  • My new favorite bag came with this little love note from its maker, theschooloflife.com: “We are all privately haunted by a fear that we’re freakishly odd. But in fact, as this bag celebrates, no one is ever quite normal. The only people we can mistake for ordinary are those we don’t yet know very well. From close up, we are all gloriously compulsive, over anxious, confused and bizarre. There is no reason for shame, just confirmation of our essential shared humanity. We should never be lonely under the mistaken impression that our deep selves have no counterparts in those we meet. We are all fascinatingly peculiar – a truth to which this bag bears public witness.” #wednesdaywisdom
  • After Brandon graduated with a degree in microbiology, he started working as a research coordinator, ironically in a lab studying schizophrenia. Then, things took a turn. Here, he talks about how he made his way back to work and relationships after struggling with psychosis. You can find more stories like this @ strong365.org. 💪

  • "My first introduction to mental illness was when I was young and a family member was diagnosed. I became familiar with things like counseling, medication, and addiction. A few years later it happened again. At 15, I began hearing things about depression and bipolar disorder. My family was not equipped to handle it well. Stigma surrounded the issue when I was growing up. A few years later, I was in college. Things began to change for me, too. I found myself spending hours and days at a time in complete isolation. I started feeling terrified of talking to someone about how I was feeling, or what I was going through. I had an overwhelming feeling of being different. I was an alien. I was alone. No one could possibly understand. I couldn’t have people thinking I was as strange as I felt. I was afraid to talk to people. What if something I said gave me away?"
