As someone who has been actively engaged in the mental health community on social media for the past few years, I have come across an alarming amount of misconceptions about mental health conditions.

Many of these myths either minimize conditions (“Depression is just being sad. Cheer up!”). Others falsely stereotype entire populations (“People with psychosis are ‘crazy’ and violent.”).

As someone who has a mood disorder myself, many of the misconceptions personally hurt me. I’d like to speak up about common misconceptions I’ve seen because it is time to fight the lies and illuminate the truth. Myth 1: You simply aren’t trying hard enough. Comments with this message have many forms.

What It's Like Being Young With Crohn's Disease
About a year ago, I was coming out of surgery for my Crohn’s disease. At 21, I had made the difficult but necessary decision to remove my entire colon and live with a permanent ostomy. I was hopeful, prepared for battle and so well-supported. Truly, I handled that surgery about as well as possible. I don’t think I cried more than once. My main role, in fact, felt like making sure everyone around me was comfortable with the idea of this surgery. Even as a young kid, I was always complimented on “how well you handle your illness!” and “ You seem so on top of things!” After all, I am a senior college student with 323,987 things to do, a color-coded planner, huge dreams, and a go-getter attitude to take on the world. Most would think I do indeed have my life together. Well, guess what? Sometimes having it all together is overrated. Sometimes neglecting your emotions for the comfort of others isn’t the right thing to do. Sometimes you need to feel without apology.

I Wish I Would Have Known More About Miscarriage Before Having One
The moment I realized I was pregnant, I tried to dial my emotions down. I used the term “cautiously optimistic” because I wanted to make sure that I was not overly attached to my pregnancy in case I would become one in four people who miscarry. I only told a handful of friends and always made sure to include the sentence “We are excited, but I’m only telling people who could support me through a miscarriage right now.” Even knowing the statistics, and my increased likelihood because of my ongoing battle with PCOS and hypothyroidism, I was still excited.

The Infinite Benefits of Including Students With Disabilities
I was in my daughter’s middle school for a meeting with some of her teachers. As I was walking down a hallway with a few of them they stated, “Look, there is Yassy! She is cycling away. We hear she loves to go in that room and ride the bike for the whole gym class. She is in great shape.”  I looked in the room and there weren’t many other kids in there. It was new, with a glass wall, so I saw her and took this photo. It is blurry because I was trying to be quick, so as not to distract her.

Perhaps there are some legitimate health reasons to toss certain items back in your cart.Here are a few ‘bad foods’ that might just be misunderstood…Now, as with all the things on this list (and in life), moderation is key.

What I Want You to Know If You Hide Your Mental Illness on Social Media
I posted a carefully edited black-and-white photo on Instagram the other day of me smiling and carefree, holding my puppy in my arms. The photo reflected someone happy, someone content, someone who appeared to be in a good mood. Someone who appeared to be “OK.” But in reality, because I live with severe (and I mean severe) insomnia, I had only slept for about two hours the night before the picture was taken, and was thus feeling like an exhausted, emotional train wreck. I was on the edge of a nervous breakdown from the buildup of sleepless nights, and I, in no way, was feeling content or calm, despite what my photo suggested.

Dating Someone With Mental Illness Can Be a 'Dream'
I recently published a piece where I explored why trying to date me is similar to living in a nightmare. Holstering a comorbidity of a few mental illnesses, including bipolar I disorder, complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD) and panic attack disorder just to name a few, I came to the conclusion that my relationships of all kinds (not solely romantic) are not only negatively affected by my erratic mood shifts and abrasive attitude, but can also play a positive role creating the full person I am today.

5 Ways to Support a Loved One With a Mental Illness
Chances are that you know someone who has a mental health condition. It could be a friend, family member, coworker or someone in your faith community. Even with these staggering numbers, we as a society do not receive enough formal education on talking about mental health issues or how to support a friend with a mental health issue. I myself live with a serious mental illness, and I am a family member of someone with a mental health issue, so I have both needed support and offered support to someone else. From both perspectives, I have learned what has been mutually effective for feeling supported and being confident in supporting someone else.

But a representative from Price’s insurance company personally emailed him a list of six therapists to contact.

5 Tips for Navigating Academia as an Adult with Mental Illness
Higher education has thus far been the greatest accomplishment of my life. I have gained a sense of purpose and I have learned to value education in a way that my younger self would never have dreamed of doing. I have met extraordinary people with even more extraordinary dreams. For me, college has been an overall positive experience but that was not always the case. In the beginning of my college journey, I had undiagnosed schizoaffective disorder which caused me to struggle daily not only with learning, but with just navigating interactions with my professors and peers. I knew I needed support but I did not know what to ask for or who to ask for that support.

Mental illness doesn’t care about success or how many friends you have
There is still stigma attached to mental illness and a mistaken belief that it happens to introverted people who don’t have many friends or family to turn to, or it only happens to people who have limited success in life and so have a valid reason to feel depressed or anxious. Clearly, neither of these is true.

Even when my physical issues got bad enough that I went to the ER, I was treated with respect and dignity.

A Reading List of Memoirs on Mothers Impacted by Mental Illness
In the late 1980s, my mother, a brilliant artist, seamstress and interior decorator had her first (known) episode of psychosis. I was halfway between my 10th and 11th years, not quite a child, not quite a teenager, a vulnerable time for any child. I needed a mother. Instead, I watched as she devolved into a strange brew of auditory and visual hallucinations, paranoia, hypersexuality and more. Her behavior was confusing and odd and frightening. As a child—as a daughter—I found myself alone in a dark, uncertain world, one in which mothers are supposed to take care of their children.
