"My name is Majela. I am a Chicana/Meztica living with borderline personality disorder. My parents don’t understand why I can’t just be strong like my ancestors and rely on ‘white men’s’ medicines.”
"I’m Sol, I’m a non-binary Salvadoran, & I live, struggle, and grow with depression. Let’s talk about it."
"My name is Isabella…and just because my white therapist cannot understand my cultural background does not invalidate my experiences."
"My name is Richard. I am a Dominican American man living with depression, bipolar disorder, and anxiety. My mental illness doesn’t define me. #endthestigma #imnotashamed"
“I live with OCD, Bipolar I, & PTSD. Still a magic Black girl. #endthestigma”
“My name is Rogina & I’m not always a strong independent Black woman because, as a Black woman, I’m allowed to feel weak, dependent, anxious, depressed, etc.”
“My name is Jezabel. I struggle with PTSD, anxiety & depression. As a ‘fiery’ Latina I’ve had difficulties in expressing my emotions and at the same time feeling accepted and understood.”
