Mark Duplass Instagram - I have been struggling with anxiety and depression for most of my life. Sometimes it's just a subtle feeling that something deep inside is wrong. Sometimes it's a little stronger, and it affects my ability to function properly. And sometimes it comes barging through my front door and pins me to the ground for an unknown and seemingly insurmountable amount of time. When I see pictures of myself like this one, I can see the fear and sadness behind the smile. Even at my most "happy" times. But at times like these, when the world is so deeply terrifying and saddening, it's a struggle just to stay on my feet and keep from crashing. And this is from the perspective of someone with years of experience dealing with this and excellent support systems... daily exercise, 8 hours of sleep, the right medication, a great therapist, a family who loves and supports me, the ability to eat healthy foods, etc. So I wanted to take a moment to send my love and support to all of you who may be dealing with something similar. I know we've heard all the platitudes before, but sometimes it's good to hear them again. You are not alone. There is help. This will pass. And if you find yourself descending to someplace new and scary, please text/call/chat "988" and there is someone available 24/7 to help. Sending you all a big blast of resilience, light and love.
Mark Duplass Instagram - I want to thank everyone for your outpouring of support on my mental health post last week. And, more importantly, for sharing all of your stories as well. I read every single response and it felt good to know we belong to this little community together. On my end, I’ve been sticking with my systems (exercise, sleep, therapy, medication, relying on my friends and loved ones, etc ) and am feeling much better. It always seems insurmountable when I’m in it, but I always come through with help. As always, I’m sending strength, light and hope your way. You are not alone. You can get through it. And there’s help just a click away. Text/call/chat 988 for 24/7 help. ❤️
Mark Duplass Instagram - An interesting phase of the mental health journey. My tools are working. I’m feeling much better! But part of this improvement involves a temporary denial of some of the heavy darkness so that I can focus on the light. This feels untruthful, but I need to turn away for a moment so I can get off the floor. But now that I’m on my feet (though still wobbly) can I afford to let the truth of the world’s darkness back in? I hold this image of a door, behind which are life’s hard truths. Sometimes I just need to close it for a bit. I can’t look in there. But now that I’m getting stronger, can I open it a bit? Stand next to it and let it be a part of my days without taking me down? That balance is hard to find. That’s what I’m working on. How much can I open that door, honor the truth of what’s behind it, and still hold the light. I am sending you all a ten foot wave of hope. If you need help, it’s a click away. Call/text 988 to speak with someone 24/7. ❤️
Mark Duplass Instagram - I am happy to announce the return of Chip and Alex. And half of a waffle. September 13!
Mark Duplass Instagram - So… I am on feet. I had a really great week. I assume my systems are paying off (diet, sleep, exercise, mindfulness, etc). But sometimes these episodes have their own rhythms and simply run their course. I can’t really say for certain what changed, but I know that I am grateful to be feeling better. An interesting notion that can come with feeling better, at least for me, is a little bit of guilt. So I want to take a moment to say to myself (and to you) that none of us should feel guilty for the times we feel awesome. And none of us should feel ashamed for the times we’re feeling off. In some ways, depression and anxiety are like having a bad back… sometimes it makes perfect sense why your back goes it, but other times it just seems to crash for no reason at all. Either way, it’s not your fault. It’s a condition. And it can be managed. And the more you deal with it honestly and openly, the better you’ll get at the whole thing. So whether you’re feeling high or low or somewhere in between, I hope you can allow yourself the space to feel where you’re at. Embrace it. Know that it’s not forever. And find that bite of joy and hope to carry you through to tomorrow.
Mark Duplass Instagram - Today I am feeling a little sad. Can I say that and be okay with it? And not spend the day in fear that this small sadness will grow into a sadness monster that might take me down? Maybe I can even be grateful for the ability to hold this sadness (not run from it) and place it next to some hope I've been nurturing. And just let them co-mingle for a bit, like nervous strangers at a dinner party. And just kinda see what happens. Because, as many of you know, sadness is not the same thing as depression. Sadness is a feeling I'm grateful to feel. Sadness we can work with. So yeah. I’m a little sad. And a little hopeful. That’s… pretty good. How are you feeling today?
Mark Duplass Instagram - Lately I’ve been feeling like I’m losing things. They’re not big things, but they add up. I have intermittent vertigo, so I’ll probably never ride a rollercoaster again. I have mental health and stomach issues that have taken the joy of drinking alcohol from me. And my gut reaction to this kind of loss is pretty simple… I hate it. It makes me feel old, weak, and limited. And sad. But, I’m always looking for ways to reframe those gut reactions. So I’ve been thinking about how in other aspects of my life, having limitless choices hasn’t always brought me more happiness. I can honestly say I was happier choosing from a limited selection of DVD’s at the video store in the 90’s than surfing the endless options on Netflix today. The video store would curate for me. And I loved it. So now I’m trying to look at those “losses” as the universe (or maybe even my subconscious) curating a smaller list of life choices that are actually more suited for me and my happiness. And that as life goes on, maybe we’re continually honing closer in on the things that really matter. And in this way we don’t have to live in constant FOMO of all the things we aren’t doing (because they are no longer possible) and we can focus instead on the handful of wonderful options at our feet. Maybe it’s a rationalization, but I’m not above that :) I hope you are all feeling as well as can be expected. Or, maybe, just a little bit better than that. As always, I’m sending a 100 foot wave of hope. If you find yourself headed somewhere new and scary, call/text/chat @988lifeline 24/7. ❤️✌️
Mark Duplass Instagram - Hi. How are you? I have been enjoying a time of relative calm, ease and peace. I wish I could give you the formula that brought it to me. I’m keeping up with my systems (exercise, good sleep, meditation, consistent with my meds, healthy eating, very little alcohol, etc) but I haven’t been perfect. Still, I’m feeling really good. And I’m so grateful. I’m trying not to take it for granted when I have a string of “good days.” I try to remember those times when I wake up and can barely get out of bed. And I’m trying to stay right here in this moment and enjoy every bit of it. I hope this note finds you all doing well. If it doesn’t, I hope you feel better soon. Either way, I invite you all to leave a comment on what’s happening with you. I promise to read it. And I bet others will too. As always, sending you a 100 foot wave of hope. If you find yourself sinking to someplace new, or scary, contact @988lifeline for 24 hour assistance. ❤️✌️
Mark Duplass Instagram - This is my daughter Ora. She turns 16 today. I’ve never wanted to post pictures of my kids on here for all the reasons you can probably understand. But this girl is a goddamn force and she can’t be held back. Funny, kind, sensitive, creative, gifted, and razor sharp. Truly the best of what @katieaselton and I could possibly offer. We have big plans for the next few years and I can’t wait for you all to get to know this beautiful, electric tornado. ❤️
Mark Duplass Instagram - Lately, I’ve been making an effort to talk about it more. I’m not letting it take over my life. It doesn’t have to define me. And I don’t want to constantly complain to my family and friends. But I do find it helpful to be honest about where I’m at with my struggles. Just saying the words out loud that I’m feeling anxious, depressed, exhausted today… it can be really helpful. Do you have someone to talk to? Do you have a place to put those feelings? I’d like to offer you the chance to respond here with what’s going on with you if you’d like. And I promise I will read every one of them. As always, sending you a giant wave of light, health, and hope. And if you are getting to a scary point, please contact @988lifeline. Text/chat/call anytime and there’s someone there for you.
Mark Duplass Instagram - Hello. My name is Peachfuzz.
Mark Duplass Instagram - How’s your mental health today? Things are turning for me and I’m actually doing really well. The systems are working and I’m improving. But, sometimes it’s hard for to me admit and embrace the times I feel truly great. There’s some odd version of survivors guilt… am I gloating if I talk about the good times, too? Lately I’m trying to own it all and be grateful. And, in some way, use the positive momentum to build up reserves of strength and hope for myself and for those in my community who also suffer. Like riding a wave of positivity that can hopefully carry me through some of the harder times. I hope you are doing okay. If not, take it from someone who was recently hurting… this can really turn around and, sometimes, quite quickly. Hang in there. You’re not alone. And, as always, text/call/chat 988 if you need help immediately. They’re available 24-7. ❤️✌️
Mark Duplass Instagram - At the beginning of the pandemic, I started writing a story. It was about a 16 year old girl who leaves behind the trappings of modern life to seek out a simpler, more deliberate life in the woods. It turned into a 30 minute script. Then another. Then another. I couldn’t stop writing. Eventually I had written 8 episodes, the entire first season of my new, favorite show. A show for and about young adults. About the way life could be if we simplified things. And then I realized that our title character PENELOPE was not just a teenaged girl. She was all of us, trying to find a peace, simplicity, and happiness that we’ve lost. I knew when I brought the scripts to the buyers that there would be a bidding war. But there wasn’t. No one would give us the money to make it. So I thought to myself… I’ve financed my own films before. Why can’t I do it with TV? And that’s what I did. And I asked my BIOSPHERE co-creator (and head of Duplass Brothers Productions) @meleslyn to direct all the episodes. And now we’re premiering the show at Sundance next month. And I am so grateful to be in this moment. So desperate and excited to bring this show to the world. Here is the first image of possibly the most important thing I’ve made… PENELOPE
Mark Duplass Instagram - This is Murphy. He’s about 10 weeks old and he just joined our family. He loves Dave Brubeck era jazz, playing with his new friend Blue, and escaping anything that contains him. As a rescue pup, he carries that appreciation of every small thing… food, soft bed, naps in the sun. Today I’m going to let him inspire me. I am going to remind myself that we are all lucky to be here, at all. And when I get home from work I’m going to snuggle the shit out of him.

Mark Duplass Instagram - Okay. Time to get proactive. This Sunday at 4pm pt/7pm et I’ll be going live on @instagram with my fantastic partners at @twloha to talk all things mental health. We’ll have some surprises and also be officially launching a fundraiser for mental health scholarships. I’m matching the first $10k so please join us and spread the word. As always, sending you a giant wave of hope.
Mark Duplass Instagram - I'm not sure all these options are good for me. The sheer amount of things I can do/see/experience/consume on a daily bases has increased drastically in my lifetime, and I don’t think it’s made me happier. When I look back at some of the most wonderful moments in my life, they were surprisingly super small. The quiet of a long winter hike and the delayed gratification of eating my homemade 62 cent peanut butter and jelly sandwich once I reach the summit. Teaching my daughter how to play that dumb Monopoly card game and spending two hours trying to master it while listening to The Weepies. Sitting in my front yard with my dog, my 2nd coffee, and talking to a new neighbor about something unremarkable. And the gentle smiles we share, acknowledging that this sort of meandering neighborly chit chat is a relic we both miss. This epically small stuff is the easiest to access, and it’s really lifting me up right now. I hope it might do something similar for you. ❤️
Mark Duplass Instagram - I tried to be as open and honest as I could be. It's not perfect, and it's not everything, but it's a good summation of my mental health journey so far. And some of the tools I’ve developed to cope. And how they sometimes work and sometimes don’t. And how this will likely be with me on and off for the rest of my life. And how I’m learning to accept that and maybe even see some silver linings on the good days. If you (or someone you know) are struggling, I hope you find something useful in here. Lotsa love. ❤️✌️ (Link in bio) https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-new-yorker-interview/how-mark-duplass-fights-the-sadness
Mark Duplass Instagram - This is a big one for me. My oldest daughter Ora is a natural born artist. She’s been singing harmonies from her car seat since she was 3. We’ve been playing music together and making dumb videos together her whole life. And now she’s 16. So we decided to make a short film. I wrote something for us to act in together that @katieaselton could direct. Something about fathers, teenaged daughters, mental health. But with Christmas songs and giggles, too. We shot up at our cabin in Mt Baldy and we agreed we wouldn’t show anyone if it stunk. But it didn’t! And now we’re premiering OH CHRISTMAS TREE at the @tribecafilmfestival in June. And I can’t believe that I’ve been so fortunate to spend my life making art with the people I love…. my wife, my brother, and now with oldest my daughter, with whom it seems I was just yesterday playing @coldplay’s YELLOW on stage at her 2nd grade school fair. So at the risk of sounding corny, I am so proud to introduce you to @ora_duplass. More soon. So much more…

Mark Duplass Instagram - I’ve been thinking about next year. And what I want to focus on. And I keep coming back to this word. Balance. It’s the least exciting, least sexy of options. The funny thing is, even though I know it works for me, when I’m in a state of desperation (or inspiration) I often find myself ignoring it completely and searching the extremes for answers. “I need more nature in my life… I’ll hike the entire Appalachian Trail!” “I’ve become too dependent on technology… I’m gonna switch to a flip phone.” “Work is stressful… maybe I should retire early and try something else.” But the somewhat boring-sounding truth is, sometimes one overnight in the woods is all I need to reset myself. Maybe I should just put my phone down for the last few hours before bedtime. Or find a slightly different lane inside my current career. The truth is, I’m at my happiest when a day is full of bits and bobs of all the things I love and need. And when I translate that microcosm to a week, a month, a year… I tend to be much happier. A life raft of sorts forms around me. Not too heavy or too light in any of my life’s interests or directions. It doesn’t sound all that exciting on paper. But as a person who deals with mental instability, I’m not going for big highs. I’m going for peace. I want to be in the middle. I want to be Goldilocks. How are you doing? Sending you light and big, big waves of hope. (Also, a reminder that @twloha and @betterhelp are offering free therapy to any of you who need it. Still a few spots left at my links in bio.)
Mark Duplass Instagram - You can stream all 10 episodes of THE MORNING SHOW right now on @appletv. This is a fun one. In particular, there's this up and coming thespian named @jenniferaniston you should keep your eye on. She stole a few scenes from me. I hate her for it.
Mark Duplass Instagram - After the holiday madness, Katie and I try to go away for a few quiet days at the beginning of each year. These are special times for us. We don’t do much. Walk, talk, sit and look at some simple aspect of nature. And we think about last year and what we’d like this year to be. This year, I am having this vision of my “woog” (that special anxiety/depression combination I know so well) as a sort of superpower. Yes, it’s a heavy load to carry. No, I wouldn’t have chosen it for myself. But it has genuinely afforded me some wonderful things. A few off the top of my head: It forces me to drop deeply into myself and be 100% present. My woogie days don’t fly by unnoticed. That’s a true gift. It affords me a deeper sense of empathy for anyone I meet who is suffering. It makes me extra raw and vulnerable, which has directly informed who I am as an artist and a human. So I’m going to try to co-exist with my woog a bit more peacefully this year. Still be smart and vigilant with my systems (good sleep, proper medication, therapy, clean diet, etc). But I’m going to try to see my woogie visitor as less of my direct nemesis and more of a frenemy. And see what happens.

Mark Duplass Instagram - I’m always questioning how hard I should fight anxiety and depression when it comes, and how much I should try to accept it and simply move through it. It’s not a simple answer. But lately I’ve been holding a helpful image. A river. I’m on a wide river, fast flowing current, impenetrably high stone walls on either side. This is when my mental health is at its worst. It feels hopeless. All I can think to do is swim against the current and try not to drown. But it’s exhausting, and I get nowhere. But then I try to remind myself that this river will likely change as it goes along. There will be times when the current slows. The river narrows. There may be some fallen tree trunks lodged in the middle where I can hang on for a moment to take a breather. So I change my tactic. I stop fighting the current. I flip on my back, look up, and start to float. And have faith that I’ll find some relief when the river brings me the opportunity. And maybe it’ll narrow and the stone walls will recede, and there might even be a nice sandy beach that I can reach. And I realize that everything is a phase. And that maybe I just need to ride the river best I can and keep my eyes open for the places on the shore to rest, breathe, and lay in the sun. And be thankful for those moments. Sending big love. And relentless storms of hope. If you find yourself headed somewhere scary, call/text/chat @988lifeline 24-7.
Mark Duplass Instagram - She asked me if we could dress up together for Halloween. I said... "Yes, chef."
Mark Duplass Instagram - The holidays can be so wonderful for some, and they can be crushing for others. If you have the chance to include someone who needs it, please consider it. If you're hurting, please know that you are not alone. And if you need help immediately, call/text/chat "988" @988lifeline 24-7. Side note: since our last IG live I've learned a lot from you all about what's missing in the larger mental health conversation and access to resources. I'm working on some partnerships to help address some of this that I'll be sharing soon. Other side note: please ignore my weird-ass dark hair in this photo. I dyed it for an amazing acting gig (which I'll also let you know more about soon). New instagram live coming shortly to discuss all. Hang in there, everyone!

But part of this improvement involves a temporary denial of some of the heavy darkness so that I can focus on the light. This feels untruthful, but I need to turn away for a moment so I can get off the floor. But now that I’m on my feet (though still wobbly) can I afford to let the truth of the world’s darkness back in? I hold this image of a door, behind which are life’s hard truths. Sometimes I just need to close it for a bit. I can’t look in there. But now that I’m getting stronger, can I open it a bit? Stand next to it and let it be a part of my days without taking me down? That balance is hard to find. That’s what I’m working on. How much can I open that door, honor the truth of what’s behind it, and still hold the light. I am sending you all a ten foot wave of hope. If you need help, it’s a click away. Call/text 988 to speak with someone 24/7. ❤️

Sometimes I just need to close it for a bit. I can’t look in there. But now that I’m getting stronger, can I open it a bit? Stand next to it and let it be a part of my days without taking me down? That balance is hard to find. That’s what I’m working on. How much can I open that door, honor the truth of what’s behind it, and still hold the light. I am sending you all a ten foot wave of hope. If you need help, it’s a click away. Call/text 988 to speak with someone 24/7. ❤️

But sometimes these episodes have their own rhythms and simply run their course. I can’t really say for certain what changed, but I know that I am grateful to be feeling better. An interesting notion that can come with feeling better, at least for me, is a little bit of guilt. So I want to take a moment to say to myself (and to you) that none of us should feel guilty for the times we feel awesome. And none of us should feel ashamed for the times we’re feeling off. In some ways, depression and anxiety are like having a bad back… sometimes it makes perfect sense why your back goes it, but other times it just seems to crash for no reason at all. Either way, it’s not your fault. It’s a condition. And it can be managed. And the more you deal with it honestly and openly, the better you’ll get at the whole thing. So whether you’re feeling high or low or somewhere in between, I hope you can allow yourself the space to feel where you’re at. Embrace it. Know that it’s not forever. And find that bite of joy and hope to carry you through to tomorrow.

And not spend the day in fear that this small sadness will grow into a sadness monster that might take me down? Maybe I can even be grateful for the ability to hold this sadness (not run from it) and place it next to some hope I've been nurturing. And just let them co-mingle for a bit, like nervous strangers at a dinner party. And just kinda see what happens. Because, as many of you know, sadness is not the same thing as depression. Sadness is a feeling I'm grateful to feel. Sadness we can work with. So yeah. I’m a little sad. And a little hopeful. That’s… pretty good. How are you feeling today?

I have intermittent vertigo, so I’ll probably never ride a rollercoaster again. I have mental health and stomach issues that have taken the joy of drinking alcohol from me. And my gut reaction to this kind of loss is pretty simple… I hate it. It makes me feel old, weak, and limited. And sad. But, I’m always looking for ways to reframe those gut reactions. So I’ve been thinking about how in other aspects of my life, having limitless choices hasn’t always brought me more happiness. I can honestly say I was happier choosing from a limited selection of DVD’s at the video store in the 90’s than surfing the endless options on Netflix today. The video store would curate for me. And I loved it. So now I’m trying to look at those “losses” as the universe (or maybe even my subconscious) curating a smaller list of life choices that are actually more suited for me and my happiness. And that as life goes on, maybe we’re continually honing closer in on the things that really matter. And in this way we don’t have to live in constant FOMO of all the things we aren’t doing (because they are no longer possible) and we can focus instead on the handful of wonderful options at our feet. Maybe it’s a rationalization, but I’m not above that :) I hope you are all feeling as well as can be expected. Or, maybe, just a little bit better than that. As always, I’m sending a 100 foot wave of hope. If you find yourself headed somewhere new and scary, call/text/chat @988lifeline 24/7. ❤️✌️

I’m keeping up with my systems (exercise, good sleep, meditation, consistent with my meds, healthy eating, very little alcohol, etc) but I haven’t been perfect. Still, I’m feeling really good. And I’m so grateful. I’m trying not to take it for granted when I have a string of “good days.” I try to remember those times when I wake up and can barely get out of bed. And I’m trying to stay right here in this moment and enjoy every bit of it. I hope this note finds you all doing well. If it doesn’t, I hope you feel better soon. Either way, I invite you all to leave a comment on what’s happening with you. I promise to read it. And I bet others will too. As always, sending you a 100 foot wave of hope.

Lately I’m trying to own it all and be grateful. And, in some way, use the positive momentum to build up reserves of strength and hope for myself and for those in my community who also suffer. Like riding a wave of positivity that can hopefully carry me through some of the harder times. I hope you are doing okay.

It was about a 16 year old girl who leaves behind the trappings of modern life to seek out a simpler, more deliberate life in the woods. It turned into a 30 minute script. Then another. Then another. I couldn’t stop writing. Eventually I had written 8 episodes, the entire first season of my new, favorite show. A show for and about young adults. About the way life could be if we simplified things. And then I realized that our title character PENELOPE was not just a teenaged girl. She was all of us, trying to find a peace, simplicity, and happiness that we’ve lost. I knew when I brought the scripts to the buyers that there would be a bidding war. But there wasn’t. No one would give us the money to make it. So I thought to myself… I’ve financed my own films before. Why can’t I do it with TV? And that’s what I did. And I asked my BIOSPHERE co-creator (and head of Duplass Brothers Productions) @meleslyn to direct all the episodes. And now we’re premiering the show at Sundance next month. And I am so grateful to be in this moment. So desperate and excited to bring this show to the world. Here is the first image of possibly the most important thing I’ve made… PENELOPE

The sheer amount of things I can do/see/experience/consume on a daily bases has increased drastically in my lifetime, and I don’t think it’s made me happier. When I look back at some of the most wonderful moments in my life, they were surprisingly super small. The quiet of a long winter hike and the delayed gratification of eating my homemade 62 cent peanut butter and jelly sandwich once I reach the summit. Teaching my daughter how to play that dumb Monopoly card game and spending two hours trying to master it while listening to The Weepies. Sitting in my front yard with my dog, my 2nd coffee, and talking to a new neighbor about something unremarkable. And the gentle smiles we share, acknowledging that this sort of meandering neighborly chit chat is a relic we both miss. This epically small stuff is the easiest to access, and it’s really lifting me up right now. I hope it might do something similar for you. ❤️

Likes : 12563Mark Duplass - 12.2K Likes - I’ve been thinking about next year. And what I want to focus on. And I keep coming back to this word. Balance. It’s the least exciting, least sexy of options. The funny thing is, even though I know it works for me, when I’m in a state of desperation (or inspiration) I often find myself ignoring it completely and searching the extremes for answers. “I need more nature in my life… I’ll hike the entire Appalachian Trail!” “I’ve become too dependent on technology… I’m gonna switch to a flip phone.” “Work is stressful… maybe I should retire early and try something else.” But the somewhat boring-sounding truth is, sometimes one overnight in the woods is all I need to reset myself. Maybe I should just put my phone down for the last few hours before bedtime. Or find a slightly different lane inside my current career. The truth is, I’m at my happiest when a day is full of bits and bobs of all the things I love and need. And when I translate that microcosm to a week, a month, a year… I tend to be much happier. A life raft of sorts forms around me. Not too heavy or too light in any of my life’s interests or directions. It doesn’t sound all that exciting on paper. But as a person who deals with mental instability, I’m not going for big highs. I’m going for peace. I want to be in the middle. I want to be Goldilocks. How are you doing? Sending you light and big, big waves of hope. (Also, a reminder that @twloha and @betterhelp are offering free therapy to any of you who need it. Still a few spots left at my links in bio.)

The funny thing is, even though I know it works for me, when I’m in a state of desperation (or inspiration) I often find myself ignoring it completely and searching the extremes for answers. “I need more nature in my life… I’ll hike the entire Appalachian Trail!” “I’ve become too dependent on technology… I’m gonna switch to a flip phone.” “Work is stressful… maybe I should retire early and try something else.” But the somewhat boring-sounding truth is, sometimes one overnight in the woods is all I need to reset myself. Maybe I should just put my phone down for the last few hours before bedtime. Or find a slightly different lane inside my current career. The truth is, I’m at my happiest when a day is full of bits and bobs of all the things I love and need. And when I translate that microcosm to a week, a month, a year… I tend to be much happier. A life raft of sorts forms around me. Not too heavy or too light in any of my life’s interests or directions. It doesn’t sound all that exciting on paper. But as a person who deals with mental instability, I’m not going for big highs. I’m going for peace. I want to be in the middle. I want to be Goldilocks. How are you doing? Sending you light and big, big waves of hope. (Also, a reminder that @twloha and @betterhelp are offering free therapy to any of you who need it. Still a few spots left at my links in bio.)

Walk, talk, sit and look at some simple aspect of nature. And we think about last year and what we’d like this year to be. This year, I am having this vision of my “woog” (that special anxiety/depression combination I know so well) as a sort of superpower. Yes, it’s a heavy load to carry. No, I wouldn’t have chosen it for myself. But it has genuinely afforded me some wonderful things. A few off the top of my head: It forces me to drop deeply into myself and be 100% present. My woogie days don’t fly by unnoticed. That’s a true gift. It affords me a deeper sense of empathy for anyone I meet who is suffering. It makes me extra raw and vulnerable, which has directly informed who I am as an artist and a human. So I’m going to try to co-exist with my woog a bit more peacefully this year. Still be smart and vigilant with my systems (good sleep, proper medication, therapy, clean diet, etc). But I’m going to try to see my woogie visitor as less of my direct nemesis and more of a frenemy. And see what happens.

Likes : 11678Mark Duplass - 11.5K Likes - I’m always questioning how hard I should fight anxiety and depression when it comes, and how much I should try to accept it and simply move through it. It’s not a simple answer. But lately I’ve been holding a helpful image. A river. I’m on a wide river, fast flowing current, impenetrably high stone walls on either side. This is when my mental health is at its worst. It feels hopeless. All I can think to do is swim against the current and try not to drown. But it’s exhausting, and I get nowhere. But then I try to remind myself that this river will likely change as it goes along. There will be times when the current slows. The river narrows. There may be some fallen tree trunks lodged in the middle where I can hang on for a moment to take a breather. So I change my tactic. I stop fighting the current. I flip on my back, look up, and start to float. And have faith that I’ll find some relief when the river brings me the opportunity. And maybe it’ll narrow and the stone walls will recede, and there might even be a nice sandy beach that I can reach. And I realize that everything is a phase. And that maybe I just need to ride the river best I can and keep my eyes open for the places on the shore to rest, breathe, and lay in the sun. And be thankful for those moments. Sending big love. And relentless storms of hope. If you find yourself headed somewhere scary, call/text/chat @988lifeline 24-7.

If you're hurting, please know that you are not alone. And if you need help immediately, call/text/chat "988" @988lifeline 24-7. Side note: since our last IG live I've learned a lot from you all about what's missing in the larger mental health conversation and access to resources. I'm working on some partnerships to help address some of this that I'll be sharing soon. Other side note: please ignore my weird-ass dark hair in this photo. I dyed it for an amazing acting gig (which I'll also let you know more about soon). New instagram live coming shortly to discuss all. Hang in there, everyone!
