This year, the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA), encouraged us all to help break the stigma associated with mental health by sharing our own stories. Your favorite Chismosas are here to bring you their trufffs.
Jhené Aiko shares how Triggered she can get and many felt it (5:35). Big Sean took a break from music and came clean about his own battle with mental health (11:27). Communication is key; how do we communicate to those around us that we are not okay? (17:18). Mental issues are misunderstood in our culture, especially in the Black and Latinx communities. How are we breaking these cultural stigmas in our own communities? Let’s talk about ehhh. (23:33). There are signs that may indicate you may be burning out and may need a mental health day or two, the Chismosas share theirs (37:32). Positive affirmations we all need them, we list a few that help us most (44:45). We’re all trying to live our best lives. If you feel there may be something wrong, make sure to speak to someone, a family member, friend or therapist (52:00).
Here at Dique Chisme, we encourage you to live your best life, if you are going through anything, talk to someone. We are here.
