PSA: Today is #MentalHealthAction Day! Just leaving these here for you.
4 super easy actions you can take right now:
Step 1: Go through your own self-love checklist - maybe add meditation, listening to a favorite song, watching a funny video, taking a deep breath and a stretch break, looking into counseling, reaching out to a friend, or asking for help!
Step 2: Browse through our mental health playlist on Tiktok for tips
Step 3: Visit and share our Get Help page with resources from over 1,000 organizations in 30+ countries, making it one of the most comprehensive databases for LGBTQ+ youth in the world.
Step 4: Remember that no matter what tough thing you're going through right now...it gets better. 💜
Don't push yourself to come out until you're feeling safe and ready to do so...but also know that coming out is often recurrent. It's always your choice whether or not to disclose your personal identity, as there are so many situational contexts! But let's be real. There will be days when it's not emotionally safe, and your hands will shake, and your voice will crack, and your truth will burn so bright... Maybe you will have to correct a teacher who keeps misgendering you. Maybe you'll have to stand-up for what's right in the workplace. Maybe you'll see someone else in the closet and want to role model courage, just so they know they're not alone. Be proud of yourself amongst friends and allies. Be proud of yourself in the face of adversity.

Therapy always rips the lid off the can of worms. How do you make sense of a reality you've phased into a nightmare you had once? Beauty or beast? Who are you now?

Next month I'm branching out from all the queer stuff and into another huge part of my life and identity. Mental health. I am diagnosed with: BPD, depression, anxiety and social phobia and OCD. And while not all of these dx's are in the same state they were in my twenties, they are still very much part of my life and a bigger part of my past. I'm very interested and invested in mental health and how queer people are interlaced. How being affirmed improves the mental health of trans and queer people dramatically. About children and their mental health. I always wanted Queer Little Shop to be more than just a shop and I'm working on updating old resource lists I have. Don't worry queer shit and memes are here to stay. But I hope you join me on this journey. Next month expect badges, stickers and some other stuff. Reach out to me here or @queerlittlefamily if you're struggling. I'm a good listener, and if I can't help I can point you in the right direction. #MentalHealth #mentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthmatters #MentalIllness #Depression #Anxiety #SelfHarm #Medication #EndMedIcationShaming #HaveYouTookYourMedsToday #MedicationMatters #Therapy #QueerMentalHealth #lgbtqshop #QueerOwnedShop #QueerOwned #ShopQueer #ShopQueerAllYear #LGBTMentalHealth #LGBTQMentalHealth #WelshShop #mentalhealthrecovery #OCD #BPD #Bipolar #TransMentalHealth #NonBinaryMentalHealth https://www.instagram.com/p/CQtlUO0BnqE/?utm_medium=tumblr

#rp @thesessionqpoc “The Session” holds space for Queer People of Color (QPOC) to discuss navigating the impacts of their cultural identity in the expression of their gender, sexuality and development of affirming and inclusive relationships. A short film composed of private unscripted dialogues extend from the film into a live community dialogue hosted by mental health professionals, community leaders and individuals highlighted in the film to explore lived experiences and current community resources for assistance in accessing affirming professional and social relationships within the community to address the mental and physical health needs of QPOC. #transisbeautiful #queerboy #pridehouston #blackgaylove #blackgaywomen #qpoc #qmoc #tmoc #nonbinary #minorytmentalhealth #lgbtqmentalhealth #therapyforblackgirls #blackqueerlove #queertherapist #houstonartist #blackcreatives #houstonlesbians #houstongaymen #houstonpodcast #outsmartmagazine #houstonmedia #nonbinary #queersofinstagram #queerstyle #queerlove #blackgaymagic #unscripted #queerfilm #queermedia https://www.instagram.com/p/B-M1pUUF0wC/?igshid=1jtyd45u0g7p1

We know Mental Health Month has passed however in the LGBTQ community, especially LGBTQ people of color, we struggle with Trauma, Abuse, and Addiction on a deeper level which generally goes unaddressed. I know this is a triggering subject for some and I hope you see this as an opportunity to not feel alone and heal. How does Trauma, Abuse and/or Addiction show up in your life? How are you healing and what advice can you give? Let's heal our #DarkAges together and rise from anything that keeps us from living our purpose. Let's talk! #SafeSpace #Depression #Trauma #SexualAssualt #Metoo #Addiction #mentalhealth #healing #DarkAges #neglect #blackmentalwellness #lgbtqmentalhealth https://www.instagram.com/p/Byduu_pAlJY/?igshid=1rizri9aa2lg0

Aloha everyone! I just posted a blog about the psychological benefits of bodywork when you're struggling with gender dysphoria, dissociation, and trauma history. It's a bit of my own experience, with some practical, solution-focused advice on how to deal with massage anxiety and self-care avoidance. Just wanted to share :) “Both clients looking for a bodyworker, and therapists looking to recommend them, would do well to ask around. There are probably a few queer-friendly bodyworkers who not only maintain a professional demeanor, but also recognize the chronic pain caused by binders, estrogen-induced cramps, testosterone-induced pelvic pain, and just the stored up tension resulting from minority stress. Personally, my trauma history impeded my ability to enjoy spas given the risk of cis-het stranger danger. My workaround was to befriend bodyworkers. This wasn’t intentional, but a lot of queer people I know have a special niche in the service industry helping people feel physically good about themselves.” https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/queer-counselor/202009/transgender-spa-day #lgbtq🌈 #queerbodyworkers #bodyworker #lgbtq #lgbtqmentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #genderdysphoria #genderqueer #transgenderpride #transgender #bodypositive #massagetherapy #massagetherapist #massagetherapylife #massage https://www.instagram.com/p/CF5rrafFZDc/?igshid=1ft88i3qix272
