may is mental health awareness month.

it's during these times I ask you politely to be good to yourself, be kind to those around you, and don't assume anyone's capacity to handle be wronged. be gentle, take a moment to breathe, drink water, ground yourself, talk to someone, reach out, rest.

I want to reiterate that even though I am just starting in my channel to create a space around mental health, suicide, and grief, I am open to speaking to anyone in need or anyone who just needs a friend. I can be your borrowed ear.

MENTAL HEALTH IS REAL. THERAPY IS REAL. YOU DESERVE TO BE HEARD AND HELPED. DO NOT FEEL SHAME. I AM WITH YOU.
we are with you.
