There’s no shame in having a mental illness. It’s okay to struggle, it’s okay to be open about your feelings, it’s okay to need help and support. You don’t need to be embarrassed or apologetic for being symptomatic. You aren’t a burden for seeking help. There’s no shame in going to therapy or being on medication, in taking time off from things to care for yourself. Being unwell is not a shameful thing, and neither is taking care of yourself. Do whatever you need to to help you on your path to recovery and coping. Your health is the most important thing, and that will always be okay.
