Lisa Ray Instagram – Is there any way to gently ease into the subject of mental health? What if I share my own story, spill the mulchy secrets of my terror and pain, the anxieties and insecurities that led to my struggles with body dysmorphia, with anorexia and bulimia, or prevented me from claiming my personal power? All I have learned is while our individual struggle takes different forms, it’s what remains buried and hidden that rules our inner and outer worlds. We need to normalise discussion around mental health and mental health advocacy. There’s a deep well of healing available just beyond the grip of social stigma and shame. Stories heal. Narratives can also wall us into pods of self sabotage and low self worth. Still I place my faith in language and truth telling, because in this fragile world shaped by our shared existence, what else do we have? #mentalhealthawareness
