Friends and readers, thanks for being out there! I’m so glad to be writing this newsletter and interacting with lots of people in the community. Here’s the third roundup of community notes, featuring reader comments, links, and more. What We’ve Covered So FarWe’re now six weeks into the year. So far we’ve covered:
I’m looking forward to seeing the list expand as the year progresses. Popular Comments 📝Most posts will have the option to comment—and it’s so fun to see readers jumping in! In this section I’ll highlight a few recent comments that were upvoted the most by the community. (These are edited lightly for brevity, without changing the tone. Read the full comments and many more on each post’s page.) From Matthew, on the post Is It Always Best to ‘Do What Makes You Happy?’:
From Ari, on the post Imposter Syndrome Isn’t What You Think:
From Sheila, on the post Consider the Opposite of What You’re Worried About:
See also: The Worry List, a helpful activity from Gary Hirsch From Penny, on the post How I Use (and Don’t Use) Adderall to Help with Focus:
And from Bad Art Company, on the post Do You Ever Feel ‘Too Sensitive’?:
Art & Other Fun Things
Posts and Stories I LikedAs a Twitter refugee (I gave up using my account with 140k followers last year), I miss the format of short-form conversations. Substack Notes isn’t quite the same thing, but one thing it is helpful for is finding the work of other writers. In addition to my regular browsing, every couple of weeks I do a public call for submissions. I’ll share many of the links that people send me in future posts. For now, here are a few posts I’ve enjoyed recently: Note: if you’re publishing a newsletter, feel free to comment in this post with the name of your publication so that other readers can find you. Special Thanks to our Paid SubscribersAs promised, most content on A Year of Mental Health will be completely free. Paid subscribers make this possible. Even though we have very few paywalled posts, many of you have already upgraded your subscriptions—and I am grateful! Thank you. 🙏 🙏 🙏 Whenever someone upgrades, the platform offers subscribers a chance to write a note to the creator, which can be shared with the subscriber’s permission. Here are a few that I received this week: "The Art of Non-Conformity opened my eyes to a world I didn’t know existed, and your writing style works well for me." "I love what you’re doing to build a community around this topic." "I love your post about “Are you too sensitive.” You hit the nail on the head for me. You explained me to the T and made me feel so much better about myself immediately. I never thought of my sensitivity as being a super power. I’m looking forward to reading more from you in the future. I think I’m going to gain a lot of insight from your perspective. Thank you so much!” Again, I want this project to be helpful and valuable to you. We’re just getting started, and it’s going to be a fun year. The Vault: Tools & Resources for Paid SubscribersA few weeks ago we launched The Vault! This is the first phase of my plan to reward paid subscribers while keeping most posts freely available to everyone. 🔐 Among other items, everyone with access will receive three 5-9 minute audio reflections. You can download or listen to these in the app, whatever is convenient to you. 🎙️
I plan to add to The Vault throughout the year, so stay tuned for more. Scholarships Available Upon RequestWhat if you want a paid subscription but can’t afford it? It’s all good, we’ve got you covered! 🤝 Specifically, we now have a scholarship plan where you can pay whatever you can afford. These scholarships are covered by our Founding Members—thank you, Founding Members! If you’d like one, just send a note to team @ chrisguillebeau .com with the word “Scholarship” in the subject line. We’ll help you get whatever option you need. On the HorizonThat’s it for now, but I’ll be back Monday at 7am Pacific time. Upcoming topics include: electronics trauma, undiagnosed ADHD, and a plan for surviving election season. And maybe a surprise guest or two! Like I said, there’s much more to come. 🎁 Invite your friends and earn rewardsIf you enjoy 🌻 A Year of Mental Health, share it with your friends and earn rewards when they subscribe.
