🧠✨ Why is mental health still looked down on?

🧠✨ Why is mental health still looked down on? Especially for those of us who are high-functioning?

People with anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, OCD, etc.—we often look “fine.” We get things done. We show up. We work hard.
But behind the scenes? We’re struggling. Masking. Exhausted. Constantly battling thoughts and overwhelm that no one sees.

And yet, society praises us for pushing through... while judging us the second we speak up.
Why?
Because high-functioning struggles are invisible.
Because we’ve been taught to hide instead of ask for help.
Because there aren't enough people like us represented, supported, or taken seriously.

✨ Just because we “can” do something, doesn’t mean we’re not struggling.
✨ Just because we appear capable, doesn’t mean we don’t need compassion.

I’m one of those people—and I’m done pretending I have it all together.

Let’s talk more about the silent side of mental and developmental disabilities.
You are not alone. 💬👇

I talk a lot about anxiety. But I’ve never share

I talk a lot about anxiety. But I’ve never shared how it almost made me give up creating.

I rebuilt my shop after burnout. After bans. After breakdowns.

It’s messy. It’s honest. It’s live on the blog now.

Like... getting paranoid because everything feels

Like... getting paranoid because everything feels fine?? 😳
Anxiety isn’t always loud—it’s sneaky. It’s overthinking convos, dodging good news, or feeling physically sick for no reason.

Swipe 👉 if you’ve ever:
✨ Rehearsed convos in your head
✨ Apologized just for asking a question
✨ Spiraled from the not knowing
✨ Felt anxious about not being anxious
✨️ Fear the imaginary situations in my head even if they dont happen

You're not alone, I promise 💛
What’s the weirdest way your anxiety shows up? Drop it below ⬇️ or DM me if you’ve ever said “you too” to the waiter 😅 #anxietythings

Working in retail has just proven to me that I mad

Working in retail has just proven to me that I made the right choice when I downsized my own shop... I mean I had like over 500 prodcuts in my shop....

today reminded me of this when I was filling the battery rack and a coworker was ranting about why we need EVERY battery known to man... like we have rayovac, we have Duracell, we have three types of energizer.... we have recharable... same with hair color and shampoo....

Anyway point of story.... having more choices isn't always best. :)

I have just under 100 prodcuts now in my personal store and keep my Zazzle for testing... even their i dont post every prodcut and every design like I use to...

Did you know “invisible stress” is a thing? 😶‍🌫️
You can be relaxing… and still feel on edge.
No drama, no chaos — just that weird heavy feeling that something’s off.

It’s your nervous system still running on high, even when life hits pause.
You’re not crazy. You’re not broken. You’re just human. 🫶✨

🎧 Deep breaths. Grounding. Sensory comfort.
Let’s talk about the stress we don’t always see.

Im working on making some of these posts into art prints!
