I’ve made no secret of the fact that I’ve had a lot of struggles emotionally and mentally over the last couple of years - one of the contributing factors to this has been too many mixed signals from people as to their intentions.

My autistic brain doesn’t do mixed signals well…

Inside the notorious American jail where inmates are learning Vedic meditation
By Siobhan Marin and Ian Walker

After a devastating family tragedy in her early 30s, journalist Joh Jarvis found solace in mediation. Now, she teaches the spiritual practice to prisoners in America's most notorious jails.

I continue to transition my #art from #deviantart to #Pixelfed. #AIhasDestroyedArtPlatforms such as Deviant Art for me. And unlike most other platforms, I greatly appreciate the freedom of the #Fediverse, including the lack of data collection, or the lack of algorithms dictating what we see, think or feel. #HelloPixelfed. #GoodbyeDeviantArt.

This is more of a #photomanipulation than a #digitalpainting - though there are touch ups. Originally, when I created this, it was meant to represent how I was feeling at the same, particularly during February, one of the most #depressing months. And now I reflect on how much has changed. Though I have experienced #dark days, I have also learned the value and necessity of finding meaning (i.e., finding #alifeworthliving). This can be anything from arts, nature, crafts, activities, hobbies, meditation, relationships and so on. Reflecting back on 2012, I am happy to say that life is much more bright nowadays. However, life would not be so bright without those dark days.

Should give birth to something
good and lovely." -Chinua Achebe

I don’t begrudge any dude for getting into self improvement. Working on making yourself better is amazing and empowering. But the current brand of male self improvement is bad news

Can my fellow men please find more balance between the supplements and gym time with picking up a history book and working on mental health?

Improving your headspace is just as important as getting ripped

It's okay to feel empty. It's okay to feel like I'm missing out on everything that other people have that I don't. It's okay to feel depressed or bored because other people's lives seem better than mine. It's okay to feel powerless in the face of others' expectations and to feel upset and heartbroken that I can't achieve happiness like they do. #Vent #MentalHealth #MentalHealthMatters #YouAreNotAlone #ItsOkayToStruggle #SelfCompassion #EmotionalHealing #BeKindToYourself

I’ve been thinking about healing—not just the kind that scars, but the deeper kind.

Is it when the memory softens? When you stop rehearsing the story? When your body no longer braces?

Maybe healing isn’t a destination.

So how do we know we’re on the right path?
What are some signs you’ve noticed along the way?

@skeletor The year is #2025, the war on Ukraine has been going on 3 years, and after decades of attrition and austerity, some sh!tstain just tanked the whole economy and brought back fascism, and this account still works more wonders for my #mentalhealth than most professional services I’ve paid for over the years.

Thank you, Skeletor, for reminding me that I HAVE THE POWER

I don’t think many people realize but Yoga 🕉️ has many comparisons with modern psychotherapy.

Whereas Yoga as a therapy is its own unique paradigm, it has similarities to western psychotherapeutic techniques; yoga in-fact influenced the development of that field.

Similarities include introspection/self-study, awareness of mind & behavior, aiming to reduce suffering, and integration of mind-body-spirit. #mentalhealth #yoga #psychology #yogatherapist
