Fight for Better Tomorrows: Core Beliefs

At Fight for Better Tomorrows, there are six things we believe to be true. These are non-negotiable statements. They are rooted in fact – not opinion – and therefore cannot be changed. They are:

heart

You are more than your mental illness, substance use disorder or eating disorder.

You have a mental illness, but you are not your mental illness. You are kind, smart, funny, compassionate, motivated, thoughtful, talented...the list goes on. Your mental illness doesn't – and will never – define you.
heart

Your life matters. The world is better because you're here.

Your brain will lie to you. It will tell you that no one loves you or that the world would be better without you in it. Those things are not true. Your life matters. You mean so much to so many people. Even on your bad days, your worst days – you are loved, wanted and needed.
heart

It won't always be this way. It does get better.

When things are dark, it feels like they're going to be dark forever. We know the intensity of pain you feel, the hopelessness in your heart and the weight sitting on your chest. We know it feels like things will always be this way. But we're here to tell you it gets better.
heart

You are worthy of love, help, support and recovery.

We know you feel unloveable, broken, damaged beyond repair. We know that you push people away or avoid seeking treatment because you feel like people have it worse than you. But YOU are worthy of love. And you deserve the help and support given to you.
heart

You are not alone just because you feel alone.

We know you feel isolated and alone in your pain. You feel like no one understands what you're going through. Even when you're in a room full of people, you still feel alone. But you are not alone just because you feel alone. And we hope this community reminds you of that.
heart

You're doing the best you can, and that's enough.

We know it doesn't feel like it, but you're doing the best you can with the knowledge you have in this moment. And when you have the resources and skills to make different decisions, you will. But until then, be kind to yourself. Be proud of all that you're doing. And acknowledge that you're doing your best.

We Will Not Be Silent

We believe in talking about the topics no one wants to or feels comfortable talking about – like mental illness, self-harm, suicide, substance use disorders, eating disorders, recovery and self-care. We believe that stigma and shame grow in silence, and we will not be silent.

About Us

We're not doctors, therapists, counselors or mental health professionals. We didn't study psychology in school. But we are a group of people living with mental illness, navigating recovery and learning how to take care of ourselves in the process. And because we know what it's like to do it alone, we believe you shouldn't have to.

Fight for Better Tomorrows was built on the belief that tomorrow can be different. We're here to share our stories and help you navigate recovery so you can fight for better tomorrows, too.
