Why #endthestigma is not enough for mental health

Hi everyone it has been a while due to technical difficulties but check out my new video

Thing of The Day: This might be the most important thing of the day I have done

I don't usually talk about politics but I have been pushed to the limit.
Okay so look I understand there is a stigma towards mental health. There are a lot of good sources to hear it from. But please DO NOT LISTEN TO DONALD TRUMP'S OPINION ON MENTAL HEALTH. They are insulting, cruel and downright stupid.

Thing of the Day: Money doesn't equal emotional support

Hi everybody this is for any parent or friend or family member who has someone with mental illness.
You can pay for every appointment, give every gift and brag about how much you help with money. That doesn't mean that you are being that helpful. It will NEVER EVER replace emotional support that people so desperately need.

Thing of the day

Sometimes you might be not as good as others at something. But if you are doing everything to the best of your capabilities you have every right to hold your head high

My thoughts on World Suicide Prevention Day 2016

So I thought about whether I should write about  World Suicide Prevention Day. I have been through a lot but I also I don't know exactly how to say it.
It is still another day. It is great that there is a day for awareness but it is still one day.
For people going through hard times: Realize that this day is great but it doesn't mean that people don't care about on other days. Don't go to up (to me it is better to be balanced) and don't go too down.  Understand that people don't always know how to slow down or how to help sometimes they are having more issues than you think. Sometimes it is just hard.
Second, I hope that there are more treatment centers and facilities to help out people. It should not be punishment to be in one of these places. Like I know it won't be a country club with free food, a game room and shuffleboard, but it needs to be a place of positivity.
For people that have friends or families of people suffering: First, for Americans, did you know in some countries if you ask how are you? then you are expected to have a conversation with them. I am not saying that can happen every time but don't just hear good and assume that it is good.
Realize that doctors can be a big help. Also, realize that if you refer a person they might be upset. Also realize the first one might not be the best. Also, realize that if a person gets medicines it doesn't just start right away. It takes awhile to get into the system
Lastly, remember that the smallest thing can make the biggest difference.
So what is my point of this? Celebrate this day but realize it is another day. Getting through any day is a huge achievement whether people around you say it or not.

Thing of The Day: To all friends

To anyone who is a friend, especially to someone who has mental health stuff but really anybody,
It is great to be there and stuff and being a good friend. But when someone has gone through stuff to know that you have their back that is like one of the greatest feelings in the world.

Thing of The Day

Remember that you can only do stuff at your pace

A lot of Art

Here are a lot of the Drawings most of them are in the Denny Dent style with a few exceptions. Most of the time I don't post of friends but since there is no writing I made an exception I hope you enjoy and there will also be some thoughts about why I picked the colorss I did (For friends it was mostly based on their favorite colors)
I also went to a baseball game and got some autographs on some of my art

Thing of The Day: Sad Things an Handling Them

So the last few days I have seen a lot of death anniversaries of different people. Honestly it seems like every day is like that. So I probably will not post about them anymore.
You could be mourning a different somebody everyday. But I am not even sure they would want that. So live your life and by doing that honor them to show that you care so much you are willing to keep going. This is so much harder to do than me writing it but just give it a shot.

Thing of The Day

As fourth of July comes please realize that some people especially soldiers really do not like fireworks. I understand fourth of July is fun but please be respectful.

A custom photo

So I made this photo the idea is if you feel good about yourself then others might think you look odd but does that matter?

Also personally I think the donkey is adorable
