It’s Mental Health Month, Tumblr!

Your mental health is important. Because of the coronavirus, people all around the world are experiencing high levels of mental and emotional stress. That’s why this year’s Mental Health Month initiative will focus on common aspects of isolation and loneliness: how to protect, maintain, and improve your mental health, how to manage your relationships inside and outside of your household, how to combat boredom, and how to deal with the grief you might be feeling.

All month long our friends at Ditch the Label (@ditchthelabel), a UK anti-bullying non-profit, will post resources to guide you through some of the emotional hardships you may be feeling right now. Here on @postitforward, we’ll be reblogging the best stuff we see from them, the top-notch stuff we see from the rest of the Tumblr community, and posting exclusive original art from some of our very own Tumblr @creatrs.

Some of you may be concerned with your mental health for the first time in your life. For others, existing mental health issues may be exacerbated by current events—especially for those of you who may be quarantined with people whose values are at odds with your own. We see you, and we want to help.

If you don’t want to see these posts, that’s okay! Taking good care of your mind comes in many forms. We’ll tag all of our posts with “cw mental health month” as well as more specific tags when appropriate so you can use the tag filtering tool to keep them from your dashboard. And, hey, if you’re looking for a totally stress-free zone, go out and check out Cozy (@cozy)—it’s a blog we created to embrace a little escapism. Otherwise, be sure to give Ditch the Label (@ditchthelabel) a follow if you’re interested in the tools and guidance they will be providing starting May 4.

One last thing: If you or someone you know are struggling and don’t know where to turn to, here’s a list of free counseling services located all over the world

Do your best to take care of yourself, Tumblr. <3

Hey I'm just letting you know that like black washing TOTALLY is a thing and isn't really okay but people are crazy. Like if you can turn a white character black I can turn a black character white. So uh yeah if anyone responds to you saying why it's wrong hear them out but take it with a pile of salt. (NoTumblrAccountSorry)

Okay, I was just really confused on the mater

I’m so sick of random people trying to invalidate my identity.

Bisexuality includes non-binary people!

Non-binary bisexuals are valid!

We are here, we exist, and we are NOT going anywhere!

Cause I drew something and I actually like how it turned out. But I know it out bad, but that's okay. Before anyone asks what it is I just have to say I have no idea.
