Mental health awareness week
- You’re not alone.
- A problem shared is a problem halved.
- Talking about issues will always feel scary, but it isn’t, you will always feel better after.
- No one will judge you for how you feel.
- Everyone struggles at some point.
- You never know what someone else is feeling, people get very good at hiding their issues, so talk to your friends, they might understand more than you think.
- Sometimes those who hide it best are struggling the most.
- People who struggle often don’t want to feel like they’re a burden, so if you’re worried about someone, make it clear they won’t be.
- It affects a lot more people than you think.
- It is not a sign of weakness.
- Tackle your issues head on and try to find healthy coping strategies.
- Exercise can be a really good and healthy coping strategy.
- Everything gets better with time, so don’t give up.
- The first step to dealing with it is always the hardest, but things will get better.
