#mentalhealthmonday Depression. Photo: @andre_amq Model: @talshashoua & @arantxadp Creative direction: @arantxadp & @talshashoua --------- We are very proud to launch the first post of our #mentalhealthawareness project: Mental Depictions. Our goal is to share a glimpse of what it feels like to have a #mentalillness to those who live without one. This project will focus on a different mental illness every week. Each image is heavily research based, with the inclusion of psychological studies, interviews, and sometimes, personal experience. #Depression is very much present in our modern day as we have unfortunately seen with Kate Spade’s and Anthony Bourdain’s suicides. It is a serious and ignored illness that can make death seem like the best or sole solution. In less extreme cases, it interferes with someone's day-to-day life, disrupting their relationships, motivation, and self-esteem. The images we have are to show that depression is something that happens to a person, not something a person can control. Asking someone to stop being sad is like asking someone to not feel the physical pain that a knife can cause. The depth and hopelessness of depression is past one's own control. One cannot simply snap out of it or cure this problem by ignoring it. It must be followed with serious, meaningful actions and acknowledgement. We hope that this will help people understand that they are not alone in what they feel, and also help others who do not have this mental illness to understand what it is like for those who do. We would like the understanding to generate compassion and care for all. We thank you for supporting us and we are very excited to begin this new project! Much love, Tal & Ara If you or anyone else is in danger, please do not hesitate to call or share the #suicide hotline available 24 hours: ‪1-800-273-8255‬. . #mentalhealth #mentalhealthproject #psychology#bwstylesgf #bnw_captures #bnw_universe #bwmasters #igfotogram_bw #excellent_bnw #igblacknwhite #blackandwhite_perfection #bnw_demand #bnwmood #bnw_planet #MISTAKEmag #postthepeople #nextdoormodel #theclassylifestyle #yumemagazine #yafmagazine #cheadsmagazine #skynmagazine #pepumn (at New York, New York)

#Repost @talia_raminfard ・・・ Bringing back Mental Health Monday because talking about mental health doesn't need to be so taboo. • Our minds can be so consumed with negative thoughts, we don't even bother trying to change them sometimes. It's okay to feel vulnerable, it's okay to struggle, it's ok to feel uneasy. It's NOT okay to keep it bottled up inside. • I struggled with an eating disorder for a decade before I reached out or even felt comfortable talking about it. I have found that the minute you start talking about it, it gets better. Our minds can create so many problems, but they can also heal and solve them. Those uncomfortable feelings are temporary and will pass. • Hope your Monday is filled with the good feels, a little bit of chocolate and a whole lotta love. 🔮

#Repost @_just.ryan ・・・ #MentalHealthMonday My mental health stops me from doing a lot of things, but after 4 consecutive panic attacks last night I'm getting to that stage where I'm fed up again. Today I got up, I rearranged the furniture in my entire flat, I made myself go to the tattoo appointment because I'd been psyching myself up for ages about it, even though I didn't want to be around people, let alone touched. Yes, I ate 2 microwaveable chocolate puddings, but fuck it. I needed to not be ok today so I can try and be ok tomorrow. It's taken a few weeks but I've finally come to terms with the fact that I have to go back and have my meds upped again and that I'm not a failure for doing so. Remember it's ok to have bad days. It's ok to talk to people. Insta is my way of getting my thoughts out of my head, find something that works for you. . . . #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #awareness #endthestigma #depression #anxiety #panicattack #itsoktonotbeok #reachout #help #gonnabeok #yesirealiseipostedthisontuesday #its4minutespastmidnightshh

#Repost @model_susan_kennedy ・・・ I feel like I always learn something new from every photo shoot I do, and I've completed over 150 shoots, excluding live events and runways! But I want to let you into my head for a moment... I cried when I saw this photo pop up from a recent session with @ann_marie_photography_ . Why? It's not even my best modeling photo... But I feel like you can see me for me here. Not as a character, not faking an emotion for a certain look, not trying to hide and be shy. My eyes are lit up, I was just getting over giggling again, and I genuinely look happy! After all of the year's of being bullied and struggling with severe anxiety, depression, and a serious hatred towards myself, the daily hard work to learn to love myself and to be the good person I wish to see in others, looks to be paying off, in one single photo... And you know, I don't feel 100% everyday, not even close, but this is proof of how far I have come myself, the obstacles I've gone through, and it gives me renewed hope for an even better and brighter future! Thank you to everyone who has been with me on this journey, I wouldn't be who I am without all of your postive encouragement! . . 📷 Huge shout out to @ann_marie_photography_ for such a wonderful photo shoot experience! . . #mentalhealthmonday #alwayslearning #alwaysgrowing #mymentalhealthjourney #shinebright #smile #giggle #happy #selflove #selfgrowth #love #redhair #longredhairdontcare #intimate #photo #story #thisisme #💯 #everydayencouragement

#Repost @johnremedy858 ・・・ This last year, with the nature of my mental health and other health concerns, I was lucky to get one good mental health day a week. This last week, I had six. In a row. Considering how long the lonely, sober nights drag on, this feels like it has been a lifetime coming. At this early point in my recovery, far away from toxic households and toxic 'friendships', there are some moments where it is just so alien to feel human again, but I am here. I am done surviving, now I want to live. Again, thank to you the people that have helped me get here. #MentalHealthMonday #MentalHealthMATTERS #EndTheStigma #FightTheGoodFight #OneYearSober #FuckDepression

#Repost @kellyabdavis ・・・ PTSD has been kicking my ass with panic attacks every day. It's wild how the body can experience terror when nothing is going on externally. It's extra wild when you're like "?????" "We've done this before" "Why do we have to keep doing this?" "I'm safe. Can u stop now??" When you're deep in the feelings and the waves keep coming, it can feel like the whole world is moving on and you're being left behind. It's beyond frustrating when you KNOW there is nothing objectively wrong and you even feel grateful for all you have. For trauma survivors, maybe we spend so long on survival mode that trying to let go of survival mode feels like impending death. Like if you let go for long enough all of the things that have happened to you might happen again. So here I am with the years of recovery I have, so many beautiful, wonderful experiences of hope and joy and light, terrified again on a daily basis. And that's ok. Now I have the beautiful gift of learning not just how to escape suffering but have to fully live in this resilient, beautiful, strong body that has kept me going through so much. And if you're feeling like you've been doing all the right things wtfffff, why does it keep coming back, please know that you're not alone.💗As they say, "AFGO"-- another fucking growth opportunity. 🙃 . . . . . #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #recovery #edrecovery #ptsd #throatchakra #spiritjunkie #keepmovingforward #lovewarrior #mentalhealthmonday #peersupport #hope #payitforward #mondaymantra

#Repost @broodyblackbabe ・・・ This is my #selflovejourneythroughselfies. 💕 My mirror selfies are for myself and myself only. I battle lupus and depression everyday and I have all these things going on with me that make it so hard for me to love my own body. 💫 Like, today, I have a sore throat, my right eye is red, my joints are stiff, and so much more. 💫 Today, I hate my body. And I start going through these dangerous cycles of thoughts like, "I have lupus and depression. Who would find me beautiful? Will I ever find me beautiful?" 💫 My biggest issue is that I feel like these things tarnish me and make me unlovable and unattractive. 💫 So I'm gonna keep taking selfies and capturing moments where I feel confident and beautiful and I'm gonna keep working on loving myself until I'm where I want to be mentally about my illnesses and my body image and my worth. ❤

#Repost @liz_hensel ・・・ This is not a pretty picture. But it’s completely raw. This was about a week ago when I read an article about a soldier I helped transfer w the mortuary affairs team in Afghanistan. Just like that, it sent me back there. And I cried that deep cry that leaves you curling on the floor. Prince was there for me. Look at him. Look at his eyes. He knew he just needed to be near me until I stopped crying. I knew I had to capture this moment, to show ppl how dogs truly help. #mentalhealthmonday #servicedogintraining #servicedogssavelives #comfort #usmc #oef #veteran #adifferentkindofbattle #ptsd #germanshepherd #adoptdontshop #rescue (at New York, New York)
