Holding It Together - The Productive Hopes of Upside Sunny

Embrace the Chaos - You cannot always choose to be sunshine and rainbows, but you can choose to actively hush the thoughts that try to darken your day. Sometimes the only thing I can do to make it... is sprinkling in some dark humor and bright colors

​

Empathy and Connection - "You are not alone" is thrown around so casually. Despite the best efforts of some, I know that I literally have half a mind screaming, "I AM ALONE."

-- I promise, you're not. I can't give you advice that will magically solve all of your problems, but I can do my best to bring a little Sunshine

​

Enjoy the Personal Journey - There are some days where I am not even just trying to make it the end of the day... I'm trying to make it through the next minute without having an episode. Half of my brain is trying to make me cry and the other half is desperately trying to make me smile. Give THAT brain your attention - reflect on it - use it as a weapon for tomorrow

​

Entertaining Real Life - There is such a movement happening for mental health right now! It is a beautiful sight to see, but not everyone is willing to tell you the horrifyingly delightful moments of the emotional rollercoaster. I will tell you all the teeny tiny thoughts in my head that I let take over - the ones that make me a failure to myself and those around me.

It's a downward spiral, I love rollercoasters, but we gotta end up on the Upside Sunny sometime. 

Mental Health is real, and your emotions are real, and Sunny Days are real too. I promise
