"People who have anxiety are constantly thinking into the future. You're constantly, 'What if this happens? What if that happens?' You're always telling yourself stories. So when we're shooting Deadpool & Wolverine, I'm not just shooting the movie, I'm also sitting in the audience as a cautious critic going, 'I don't like that. I don't buy that.' So anxiety creates that ecosystem of awareness that I wouldn't otherwise [have]." — Ryan Reynolds in PEOPLE Magazine | PEOPLE.com https://lnkd.in/gAzYqCsG #anxiety #mentalhealth

"We have so many questions that have no answers. But one. Was Grayson loved? The answer is yes. By us, his brother Cameron, his sister Erica, all of his extended family, by his friends, by his fellow players and - it seems - by many of you who are reading this. He was loved and he will be missed." — Eric and Terry Murray, Parents of Grayson Murray ⛳️ #suicide #mentalhealth #mentalillness https://lnkd.in/g-_86kFv

‘Storing information may be valuable in many ways. For example, when you experience a great shock, you may not have much of a chance to analyze what happened (and potentially what went wrong) in the moment. By storing a memory of the event, it gives you information you can think about later to help prevent you from experiencing a similar unpleasant surprise in the future.’ Art Markman for Fast Company 🧠 https://lnkd.in/eDaG6ph9 #memory #memories #brains

“FEEL IT TO HEAL IT!” ‘Maybe you can sit in an ice bath, but can you sit in the discomfort of your inner world?

‘After each mental health day, students submit a short, written reflection (one to two paragraphs) on how they spent their time. There are no assigned activities, but there are two nonnegotiables: no sleeping and no studying for other classes.’ —Ashley Mowreader, Inside Higher Ed https://lnkd.in/gfNDQeVP #mentalhealth #education

‘First Lady Rosalynn Carter developed an interest in mental health issues, in part because of childhood memories of a distant cousin in Plains who was in and out of a state mental institution. She served as a member of the Governor’s Commission to Improve Service for the Mentally and Emotionally Handicapped. She helped establish 134 day-care centers for the state’s mentally disabled residents, and she volunteered at the Georgia Regional Hospital in Atlanta to gain further firsthand experience with the problems of the mentally ill.’ —Joe Holley & Kevin Sullivan for The Washington Post 🧠⭐️♥️ https://lnkd.in/em4d8sKM
