Mentalhealthmatters Stories

A letter to myself and anyone who is going through the similar struggles as myself.

Everyone is learning that you should never judge someone by how they look. The girl with good grades that always wears a hoodie, she's abused at home. The boy who tries to make friends with everyone, he was abandoned as a young child and he doesn't want anyone to feel as lonely as he does. The boy that defends others knows what it's like to have no one on your side. The man with all those scars fought for your country. The woman you see crying in the middle of the street just lost everything in her life. Stop by and see if you can help instead of making up stupid scenarios to justify what you think is weakness or something you don't like.

This workbook is here to guide you on a journey of discovery and healing, using evidence-based tools and strategies to overcome the challenges, reclaim the joy in your life and see beyond the dark shades of depression. ⚠️ TW: this workbook mentions suicide and other severe mental health problems. ______________ Still in progress and subject to continuous editing.

"Perfectly Fine." is a collection of raw, unfiltered poems about teens who look okay on the outside but are unraveling on the inside. It speaks for the kids who pass in hallways unnoticed, who joke too loud, smile too easily, and carry scars-fresh and faded-beneath their sleeves. These poems confront abuse, addiction, silence, anger, grief, identity, and survival without sugarcoating or glamorizing the pain. From the aching nostalgia of childhood lost and the fear of growing up too fast, to the secret battles behind a filtered smile, to the invisible pressure of fitting in, to the unspoken ways we ruin ourselves and each other-each piece is a different voice, a different truth. Teens hiding behind laughter, rebellion, and curated personas are given space to speak, to scream, to be seen. This collection exists to say what so many are forced to swallow: we are not okay, and pretending we are is killing us.

"Sorry Not Sorry: This evocative poem delves into the intricacies of toxic guilt, painting a vivid portrait of its profound influence on individuals' lives. Through poignant verses, it navigates the roots of guilt from childhood, where parental burdens cast a heavy shadow on innocence, nurturing seeds of shame and undeserved blame. The poem intricately traces the lifelong journey of carrying this emotional burden, impacting relationships, personal growth, and the struggle to admit faults. With a keen eye on the cycle of remorse, the verses advocate for breaking free from this suffocating weight. It highlights the struggle of excessive apologies and fear of facing one's faults, offering a poignant narrative that champions the path toward self-acceptance and healing. 'Sorry Not Sorry' delicately emphasizes the transformative power of understanding and empathy, offering a hopeful message of liberation from the consuming grip of toxic guilt."

They told me I was too big. Too much. Too different. But this is the story of how I took all of their words-and found my own." Londyn Howard has carried the weight of more than just her body-she's carried the weight of comments, comparisons, and constant judgment. In this deeply honest and emotional story, she opens up about her biggest insecurity: her weight. Not because she wants pity, but because she's finally done hiding. From the pain of rejection to the journey of self-love, More Than My Body explores what it feels like to grow up in a world where you're always being told to shrink. But through the tears, the silence, the restarts, and the setbacks, Londyn finds something worth holding onto-herself. This is more than a story about body image. It's about healing. It's about growth. It's about finally seeing the beauty in your reflection-no matter what they say.
