Dearest Kate,
Once again, this is wonderful! I wish that I could click a “love” button on every entry pertaining to mental health. Wit is at it’s very best when touching upon these very sensitive topics. Thank you for your continued contributions toward the eradication of mental health stigma. 🙂

After years of knowing I have anxiety and depression, I actually saw a therapist and wow was it awesome/revealing! I now have a diagnosis of generalized anxiety disorder and feel ok about that. I love your blog all the time, but I really relate you your mental posts. It’s comforting when someone you look up to shares a common struggle!

My sister has bi-polar disorder and I struggle everyday to come to terms with it. This is super informative and helpful, Thanks.

I wish the label of “mental” would just go away. It’s “emotional” health we speak of. Just like the label of “bi-polar”–call it what it is “Manic” depression. I KNOW this. I suffer from a plethora of emotional conditions such as anxiety, hypocondria, depression, delusion. It’s all emotional which triggers thoughts in your head….

My mom has struggled mightily with major depression for much of her life, and watching her slowly heal and be able to go into “maintenance mode” after several years of “panic mode” has been awe-inspiring. The more we talk about mental health (whether it has personally touched us or not) and make a safe space for people to lean into their vulnerabilities, the more we are ALL contributing to a kinder world that can pick us up when we fall.

Thanks for being such a voice in this conversation, Kate!
