“I took this listening business seriously. I listened to what my mind said and my body felt. And then I answered with a simple yes. Want a burger? Yes. Want to cry yourself to sleep? Yes. Want to binge-watch cheesy K-dramas? Yes (always).”

Bad Days Make The Best Days (Notes From An Ex-Pessimist) – TWLOHA

Can hard days be teachers and lessons to appreciate the smallest moments of joy, healing, and connection? Do they make gratitude run deeper?

If you are struggling, you deserve support. In addition to the resources available through our FIND HELP Tool (twloha.com/find-help), there are ways you can work to care for yourself starting today. (5/5)

But there is good news. In 2020, 46.2% of adults struggling with a mental illness received treatment. This is an increase from the approximately 34% that was previously reported. (4/5)

In the last two decades since we started this work, we’ve seen more people tackling stigma, reaching out for help, and finding the resources they need to move forward in their mental health journeys. At the same time, we know this reality still feels far away for many. (3/5)

Did you know? -Depression is a leading cause of disability worldwide -The average delay between the onset of mental illness symptoms and treatment is 11 years. -1 in 10 teens in the U.S. experiences depression that severely impairs their ability to function. (2/5)

1 in every 8 people in the world lives with a mental disorder. But barriers like provider shortages, inadequate funding and education, insurance issues, and stigma prevent those struggling from getting the help they need. #MentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness (1/5)

Between the struggles we carry on our own and the struggles we help others carry, joy can seem fleeting. But know that every moment is worth holding onto. There is room for both.

“Ultimately, loneliness was the common thread. When you live by yourself, you process every change, every conflict, and every insecurity alone. I didn’t have anyone to rant to or seek advice from.”

"I follow and cultivate my own curiosity." –

This topic is nuanced and it’s a part of our mission as an organization to address and acknowledge it. If you have questions, our team is here to assist with working to answer them. If you’re looking for resources specific to fentanyl, go to wrt.lv/40rAVkr.

Resources for Recovery + Safety: Fentanyl – TWLOHA

Mental Health Resources for Fentanyl Overdose and Poisoning

We have to keep talking about the dangers of fentanyl if we want to stop the tragic impact it’s having on our communities. Meaningful conversations start with being informed and being aware of the existing tools that can help prevent loss of life.

It is critical that we take a harm-reduction approach when it comes to substance use challenges like ensuring people have easy access to tools like Narcan to reverse overdose + affordable treatment options including medication-assisted treatment (MAT).

With fentanyl in the mix, it turns struggling with substance use into a potentially lethal outcome at any given moment. We believe that people deserve the chance for recovery and the only way to do that is to keep them breathing.

Fentanyl + other synthetic opioids are the leading cause of overdose + poisoning deaths in the U.S. Countless communities are grieving + picking up the pieces of lives + families shattered by loss. Recovery from opioids is a very challenging process. #NationalFentanylAwarenessDay
