Awesome thread @rav3n !

 

  • What’s helped you deal with cultural stigmas when reaching out for support and/or talking about mental health?

I don't think I had a choice. Due to the severity of my condition, support just happened and it sorta never stopped from then. I'm 3rd generation Australian born so I don't know anything else.

 

  • Share a quote/piece of advice/story that’s been impactful in your recovery journey.

"You are the author of your own story. If you don't like it, change it."

 

  • What are some books/movies/tv shows/celebrity stories/any other type of CALD representation that’s helped you feel seen or inspired?

I'm not sure if you'd call this a CALD representation, but I was inspired by Bruce Pascoe's book, Dark Emu. I was in awe after reading it, despite what the controversy around it is.
