“This vinyl mix was inspired by anxiety and mental health. So often, it’ll try to stop me, creates unnecessary worry, makes me feel like I’m not good enough, etc. Well, I’m grateful to say it didn’t prevent me from creating this mix, even though it was pretty close. I love curating and sharing music, but when my anxiety is screaming, sometimes I have to “feel the fear and do it anyway.” I may not always win, but for music, it’s worth the try. Music has been a tool for my mental health for so long, maybe even before I realized it. This mix is dedicated to anyone who has struggled with mental health. You did it, you’re here, and you’re not alone. This is our dance party. No stigma allowed. As it turns out, today, October 10th, is World Mental Health Day. Please remember. You are loved. Love yourself. You are more than enough. It’s ok to ask for help. Protect your energy. Do what you love, and don’t let anyone or anything stop you. Hold on.
If you or anyone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis please reach out to a resource you’re most comfortable with like family, friend, therapist, the national helpline 1-800-662-HELP (4357), or website https://www.samhsa.gov/find-help/national-helpline
-much love ❤️”
