This last addition to the #poetry collection for #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth 2025 is an extremely raw and unfiltered one about #verbalprocessing - something I really struggle with outwardly and inwardly, & I think other neurodivergent people will understand.

Don't forget to be good to yourself xoxo

This #poetry addition to the #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth series focuses on #autonomy from a different perspective, one that may be specific to me, but I always like to believe someone else gets. With #mentaillness it is important to remember that #YouAreNotAlone xoxo

Whether you face #chronic #mentalillness or #temporary #mentalhealth struggles - something we are all working towards is #innerpeace and it can feel impossible sometimes. As I experience periods of that tranquility, this #poetry reflects how unfamiliar that can feel.

Moving right along a we close out #MentalHealthAwareness Month, we are now at the prompt for #misdiagnosed and my #poetry piece isn't about mental health misdiagnosis but the #scapegoat use of mental health diagnoses to avoid actual #healthcare efforts. It's happened to all of us.

As #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth comes to a close - I'm posting all of the #poetry for the remaining prompts - we are going out with a bang! This poem about #maladaptivedaydreaming may be short, but I think it captures the feeling of struggling between real and fake.

One of the biggest points of going to #therapy is learning #emotionalregulation skills that you can use in your daily life when #triggers cross your path. This particular #poetry piece is a bit more optimistic than most of what I've been writing for #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth bc I believe in it sm.

It is still #MentalHealthAwarnessMonth and that means I'm still writing poetry. There are lot of people who use the phrase "mental health journey" and while that is fine for those people, there's a flip side to it. So this #poetry explores the #unfiltered experience of #mentalillness and healing.

No matter who you are, where you are from, and how much you make - you will be touched by #grief because loss comes in many shapes. During #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth it would be negligible not to reflect on how loss follows us through life. It shows up and it never truly leaves us.

For years #bodypositivity has been a mainstay topic, whether discussing health or celebrities or fashion. #LoveYourself is a mantra and hashtag that people use when trying to show their self love and different body types.

But it's not alway that easy.

Every Body Is A Good Body.

I was able to run the ban operation successfully, at least so far in as that they do show up on the banned list.
Perhaps I'm just old, or maybe this is a hot take, but #traumadumping has gone through a radical evolution linguistically and socially. The topic is far more nuanced than what I portray with this #poetry piece, so this one angle: frustration with the #weaponization and adjacency to #victimblaming -

A phrase you have probably seen around social media these last few years is #doompile and these things that build up around a home or space when #mentalhealth tanks so completely that you just can't - can't anything with it.

While everyone does experience #traumatic things, the severity and frequency of those traumas may lead to #pstd or even #cptsd diagnoses later in life. It is no joke to suffer with it, and this #poem that I wrote for #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth is my experience, my perspective, while living with it.
