Our Self-Care Gift Exchange 2016 Photos

In 2016 I held our first ever online Self-Care Gift Exchange for anxiety and depression. With 158 participants, thanks to @n0pales  and @nalgonapositivitypride for sharing my post, it was a success! It was a blessing to be able to read all of our stories and current struggles with mind obstacles, and a joy to partner you all with someone who best matched what you both needed.

Sadcore Sundays: "Asilos Magdalena" by The Mars Volta

mars volta

Lyrics:

Enfermo llegue Y para componerme ando de vago No me des tu obediencia Por que te enseno mi cuerpo de lodo En donde la piel estuvo debil Con una hambre que no me deja cantar

En mi vida,
El oscuro me mantiene
Cuando yo te vi
En la lluvia me prometistes tu sangre
