A friend sent over a post the other day that was shared by another well-meaning group in this MH space. It was during Mental Illness Awareness Wk, & the msg was simple: “MI is NOT, the following things.” It then went on to list the things that it’s not, such as: “a choice, an excuse, …
Was gonna take today off from posting, then this happened. Horrific injury to @_4dak in yesterday’s game. If you haven’t seen it, just a terrible break of an ankle you wish no one would ever have to go through. Thoughts, prayers & well wishes poured in from around the world of sports & beyond, as …
Shorter one today… I think yesterday was extremely encouraging for the overall movement of normalizing mental health in this country/world. More encouraging self-care, & motivational messages than I’ve ever seen on one day. And yet, the job isn’t close to done. Seen a lot of “Every Day Should Be Mental Health Day” posts, today. Those …
Happy #WorldMentalHealthDay. For the first time in a while, related to this topic & this day, I’m happy. I’m happy bc it “feels” like the day has finally become one, where the term “mental health” isn’t looked at primarily/(or exclusively) in a negative light. I’m seeing posts & messages all over about openness, self-care routines, …

I spent the first 1/2 of my career (so a good portion of my life), allowing that career to define me, & WHO I was. I was “Eric the sports executive.” So…I get it, & I’m guilty of allowing situational things in my life, be not only how others knew me most, but how I …
Felt compelled to post a message like this, given that it’s “Mental Illness Awareness Week.” We are seeing slogans all over social media about a) labels, b) percentages, c) risk factors, etc. It’s accurate that any of us could have any different number of disorders we are fighting. However when we separate these “things” as …
Easy to get lost in all the major news events & even conflicts happening in our world in 2020…how overwhelming it all feels. And yet, amidst all of it, many little things this yr, have combined cumulatively & exponentially to move the MH conversation forward, & much of it from the world of sports. Here’s …
How often have you heard this from a friend…or even experienced it as part of your own internal dialogue: “I’m never going to find a new job…I’m going to be stuck in this spot forever.” Or… “I’m not gonna meet anyone great ever again…dating’s just too hard & there’s just no one out there for …
Seems like it was yesterday, but going all the way back to January, we sadly learned abt former NBA player, Delonte West, on the streets. There was a lot that was messed up abt that situation – the way the media portrayed it as “the example” of what bipolar is, the way that some poked …

This transparency is AWESOME. Again, this is advocacy w/o ulterior motives, & that type of genuine advocacy is what makes change happen. It’s what creates those waves, & in this case it’s a number of folks talking at the same time. Politicians? Opening up in a transparent way? About something that could impact their career/power …
