Dangerous
pushed to the edge at wits
end
Overwhelmed but in some
shows/movies, resourceful
"Monster"
unpredictable
dilusional
Sad
Unstable
Lonely
Crazy
"dangerous" :(
misunderstood
Weird
eccentric

We dont talk about it. Its not a
thing.
Outspoken
Often seen as taboo, attention
seeking, dishonest in my family of
origin! Trying to be the ﬁrst in my
family to change this!
In the black community mental
health is usually silenced, we dont
talk about mental health let alone
emotions themselves
How have you experienced the concept of "mental
health" within your own cultural communities?
Some people just don't
understand that sometimes
"being in bed" is normal for you at
that time and moment. And when
they make a big deal about it
makes you feel worse
its very misunderstood and not
acknowledged. There are right
ways to deal with it and wrong
ways according to my family

You do what you see. That's why
parenting "right" is so important
irritated
empathy
I was also gonna say relatable
It was very powerful
violent is unnecessairy
I felt very sad for the child

What did you think?
How did you feel?
one day you sit and wonder where the light
you had as a child went
Depression is a real medical condition
You can say that again
totally agree with violet
right. like what and why used to be my top
questions
I felt inspired by "just because the candle is
out doesn't mean it cant be relight." I need
to put that on all my notebooks and frame
it for my wall.
abandoned- looking for somewhere to turn
it trys to confine you, but doesn't define
you.
Felt in my chest and limbs. "Stuck in
an abusive relationship with
yourself." "Hold onto the small
glimmers." "Hold onto life." Very
powerful and incredibly well done.
very relatable
relatable
i feel like this every morning
chilly and yet hopeful
Yes, agreed with susan, heart hurts.
sme relateable
Fell like this most days
mental illness does not define you
I laugh to hide

How can we support ourselves and others?
Listen
Be present with the ones you care
about. You don't always have to give
advice, sometimes it's enough just to
listen.
Open your heart to listen and be
open to other people's truths.
actively listen to yourself and others,
dont hold your feelings in because it
only hurts you more
We listen to others and ask them
about them
listening to ourselves and knowing
our limits and strengths and listening
to others- the verbal and non verbal
body language
Be kind to yourself so you can be well
enough to be empathetic for others
check on your friends and family even
the ones with the biggest smiles are
hiding pain
be okay with not being okay is one of
the most important things you can do.
Less pressure on yourself
if mental illness and mental wellness
are on a continuum, and recognize
that both ebb and ﬂow, the gold of our
life experience is the way in which we
validate our feelings, and turn it into
something beautiful. All these videos
have much hope because in the
difficulties, and the moments of
validating powerful poetry and grand
hope was created.
