Buzzfeed is not normally I site I link to often, but when they put together this list, I thought it might be worth sharing with everyone.

There are some that many of you may be familiar with, like the emotion wheel, or signs of depression, but there are also some that just provide some really helpful reminders, like this one about social media:

It’s a good reminder that if your feed is full of things like this, it may be time to rethink what you are doing on social media and to rethink who you follow. If the posts you see are causing you to feel bad about yourself it’s time to make some changes and get more positive feedback on your social media. Remember, you choose what accounts to follow, so take control over that! Also, consider what you share, maybe a few of the charts at the link above might help your followers, or dare I suggest, sharing one of our posts? 😉

    We have gotten better at discussing some mental health issues, but there’s still so much more to do. It’s still not safe for too many people to even admit they need help with anxiety and depression, even though right now we all need support.

People we know, people we love, people we work with, neighbors, friends, family, etc. are, or have been, struggling with their mental health.

    Maybe once we convince enough people of that, they’ll care enough to do something about it.

Our system is broken, the medical community can offer medicine and some limited treatment options but the day-to-day support and the work to reach a state of something more than symptom reduction doesn’t actually exist for most people.

    This has to change. Go read more of what he has to say, I think for many of you it will seem familiar, but maybe provide some hope that we are not alone in seeing it.

    Now if we can just find enough of us to care enough to fix it. We should all want to, mental health issues will happen to someone we all know and care about, eventually. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to offer a system that does not involve homelessness and prison time for far too many?
