May is Mental Health Awareness Month

[SweetWithSour]

I know I'm not alone having FM and mental health challenges together.

I have been diagnosed and am being treated for Anxiety and Treatment Resistant Depression. I've tried many treatments to help my mental health the last 4+ years. This includes: therapy, over a dozen medications and medication changes, TMS, and even spravato treatments. I have many tools in my toolbox, but none of them are one size fits all. Taking care of my mental health helps my FM, and taking care of my FM helps my mental health. For me, I find there is an interconnected tangled relationship between them.

I think that laughter is so important for mental health!!! So, last year I started Mustache Monday May. I took selfies with stick on funny mustaches. I then would send one of my pictures to my friends on every Mustache Monday in May. Many sent ones back

Let's add some laughter in our life and maybe pass it on to others.

Join in on the fun! #MentalHealthAwarenessMustacheMondayMay

Hi @SweetWithSour

I like the idea, but I am not really in to that sort of thing. I'm sure a few more will hop into it though.

Yes, I think fibro and emotional issues feed on each other, way to well at times.

Feel free to use this picture for your own social media account to help support Mental Health Awareness month in May. The hope is we can stop the stigma around mental health and start the healing. We are not alone!
