Trump was able to find $40 billion to bail out Argentina and $300 million for his new ballroom.

Yet he can't find funds to prevent millions of Americans from losing access to healthcare or stop kids from going hungry.

Cruelty is the point.

verbal processing / MHAPIΒ 2025 Every year, I create prompts for poetry for Mental Health Awareness Month. This poem is for the prompt: verbal processing.

This last addition to the #poetry collection for #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth 2025 is an extremely raw and unfiltered one about #verbalprocessing - something I really struggle with outwardly and inwardly, & I think other neurodivergent people will understand.

Don't forget to be good to yourself xoxo

autonomy / MHAPIΒ 2025 Every year, I create prompts for poetry for Mental Health Awareness Month. This poem is for the prompt: autonomy.

This #poetry addition to the #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth series focuses on #autonomy from a different perspective, one that may be specific to me, but I always like to believe someone else gets. With #mentaillness it is important to remember that #YouAreNotAlone xoxo

inner peace / MHAPIΒ 2025 Every year, I create prompts for poetry for Mental Health Awareness Month. This poem is for the prompt: inner peace.

Whether you face #chronic #mentalillness or #temporary #mentalhealth struggles - something we are all working towards is #innerpeace and it can feel impossible sometimes. As I experience periods of that tranquility, this #poetry reflects how unfamiliar that can feel.

misdiagnosed / MHAPI Every year, I create prompts for poetry for Mental Health Awareness Month. This poem is for the prompt: misdiagnosed.

Moving right along a we close out #MentalHealthAwareness Month, we are now at the prompt for #misdiagnosed and my #poetry piece isn't about mental health misdiagnosis but the #scapegoat use of mental health diagnoses to avoid actual #healthcare efforts. It's happened to all of us.

#YouAreNotAlone

PDA / MHAPIΒ 2025 Every year, I create prompts for poetry for Mental Health Awareness Month. This poem is for the prompt: pathological demand avoidance.

#PDA might mean one thing to a lot of people, but in the #mentalhealth arena it often means #pathologicaldemandavoidance which is often experienced by #neurodivergent / #neurovariant individuals. #MentalHealthAwareness is a great time to shine a light on what that can feel like for us.

maladaptive daydreaming / MHAPIΒ 2025 Every year, I create prompts for poetry for Mental Health Awareness Month. This poem is for the prompt: maladaptive daydreaming.

As #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth comes to a close - I'm posting all of the #poetry for the remaining prompts - we are going out with a bang! This poem about #maladaptivedaydreaming may be short, but I think it captures the feeling of struggling between real and fake.

emotional regulation / MHAPIΒ 2025 Every year, I create prompts for poetry for Mental Health Awareness Month. This poem is for the prompt: emotional regulation.

One of the biggest points of going to #therapy is learning #emotionalregulation skills that you can use in your daily life when #triggers cross your path. This particular #poetry piece is a bit more optimistic than most of what I've been writing for #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth bc I believe in it sm.

journey / MHAPIΒ 2025 Every year, I create prompts for poetry for Mental Health Awareness Month. This poem is for the prompt: journey.

It is still #MentalHealthAwarnessMonth and that means I'm still writing poetry. There are lot of people who use the phrase "mental health journey" and while that is fine for those people, there's a flip side to it. So this #poetry explores the #unfiltered experience of #mentalillness and healing.

grief / MHAPIΒ 2025 Every year, I create prompts for poetry for Mental Health Awareness Month. This poem is for the prompt: grief.

No matter who you are, where you are from, and how much you make - you will be touched by #grief because loss comes in many shapes. During #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth it would be negligible not to reflect on how loss follows us through life. It shows up and it never truly leaves us.

body positivity / MHAPIΒ 2025 Every year, I create prompts for poetry for Mental Health Awareness Month. This poem is for the prompt: body positivity.

For years #bodypositivity has been a mainstay topic, whether discussing health or celebrities or fashion. #LoveYourself is a mantra and hashtag that people use when trying to show their self love and different body types.

But it's not alway that easy.

Every Body Is A Good Body.

motivation / MHAPIΒ 2025 Every year, I create prompts for poetry for Mental Health Awareness Month. This poem is for the prompt: motivation.

#MentalHealthAwareness is definitely primarily about talking about #mentalillness - but we all struggle with our #mentalhealth at some point. The most common issue? #Motivation - and I think this #poetry really portrays that feeling that we all experience.

#YouAreNotAlone #YouMatter

trauma dump / MHAPIΒ 2025 Every year, I create prompts for poetry for Mental Health Awareness Month. This poem is for the prompt: trauma dump.

Perhaps I'm just old, or maybe this is a hot take, but #traumadumping has gone through a radical evolution linguistically and socially. The topic is far more nuanced than what I portray with this #poetry piece, so this one angle: frustration with the #weaponization and adjacency to #victimblaming -

doom pile / MHAPIΒ 2025 Every year, I create prompts for poetry for Mental Health Awareness Month. This poem is for the prompt: doom pile.

A phrase you have probably seen around social media these last few years is #doompile and these things that build up around a home or space when #mentalhealth tanks so completely that you just can't - can't anything with it.

c/PTSD | mhapiΒ 2025 Every year, I create prompts for poetry for Mental Health Awareness Month. This poem is for the prompt: c/PTSD.

While everyone does experience #traumatic things, the severity and frequency of those traumas may lead to #pstd or even #cptsd diagnoses later in life. It is no joke to suffer with it, and this #poem that I wrote for #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth is my experience, my perspective, while living with it.
