Hashtag, not hashbrowns

I'm finally learning to use Twitter to it's fullest potential, and I have to say, it's a really neat thing. Last night I got to participate in a "chat" with people from all over the world just by following a hashtag (Tuesday nights follow #mhsm) about mental health. Someone started the conversation (NAMIMass), and we talked about the portrayal of mentally ill folks on tv.

Right now, someone started a conversation on stigma. He asked everyone to come out to the Twitter community and say how they struggle with mental illness. It's #whatstigma if you want to follow it. People all over the world are expressing their diagnosis and opening up to the community. It's really an amazing thing to see.
