Although popular media is finally starting to recognize the impact of mental health, there is still so much shame and stigma around it.
Most people are not taken seriously when they ask for a. "mental health day," or when they express the challenges they are facing due to depression, anxiety, or whatever other mental health challenge.
It's nearly impossible to thrive in the way so many of us with too when we're battling that inner critic inside of us; the one telling us we're fine, that we need to shake it off, that others will judge us.
Mental illness, emotional and mental struggles, they are real. They matter. And it's okay to say "I'm struggling." Because in all honesty, many are, and you might be the person who gives someone else the courage to stand up and say, I'm struggling too.
