I the fact that I didn’t know anything about mental illness and how dangerous it can be. I didn’t realize that it can affect your health.”

She continued: “My doctor had been telling me I had chronic fatigue but yet, I didn’t appreciate how connected my mind and body are. This type of fatigue is becoming more common, by the way. It can seem difficult to be successful, fully, in today’s world. If I didn’t have access to mental health professionals and therapists who work, I may never have learned these things and continued to struggle alone, without answers. I hate to think how many people are exhausted without any answers or help in sight.

“Obviously, there are little things we can do every day to have fun or give ourselves space to express ourselves better about how we feel and who we are,” he added. “Small awards help. I’ve been turning to music, dying/changing my hair, some kind of community… but sometimes you need more support than these things can provide. There are good people doing amazing work to make the mental health journey more balanced and effective, and I will live to highlight a few, so that if you feel If you are drawn to one of them, you may be able to help. ”
