My Battle with Skin Picking

I accepted the help I needed and fought to reach recovery.

I believe in acknowledging every milestone. Even trying to overcome your fears is an achievement.

It acts as a strong reset button and helps me to reframe anxious thoughts.

When it comes to mental illness, families often receive less support, compassion and understanding than those facing physical illness.

Discussing mental health challenges and struggles with friends, family, group members or even a podcast audience is no small task.

I believe providers need to do a better job of helping people build fulfilling lives.

Mental health issues and real, traumatic experiences are pinned as a “normal part of growing up” or “just a phase.”

We cannot expect to make progress when we keep those experiencing mental health crises in dehumanizing environments that exacerbate their symptoms.

It will take small victories, piling up over time, to reach our final goal.

You should pursue policy change at every level of government and remember that slow and steady wins the race.
