REPOST: Itâs okay not to be okay; whatâs not okay is living discouraged and defeated. Mental Health is not a fad and it didnât happen overnight. We just didnât know many of our childhood emotions and experiences were bigger than a bad attitude or mood swings. Many of us grew up not knowing or understanding that the result of our parents pressuring us to live the life they wanted for themselves created anxiety. We didnât grasp that growing up never knowing a parent created feelings of loneliness or abandonment. Some people didnât know watching someone die or be killed created symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). We werenât aware that life wasnât going to be perfect and when we had nowhere to turn we ended up depressed. Some of us didnât know we were living with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or had addictive personalities. __________ As humans we have to give the same grace we expect back. We are responsible for having compassion especially when we donât understand why someone is behaving the way they are. __________ As individuals we have to invest and protect our mental health. âąTHERAPY and COUNSELING is okay. âąMissing out on some events is okay. âąDetatching from social media, toxic people, or uncomfortable situations is okay. âąSaying NO is okay. âąYou are WORTHY and you are LOVED. âąSuccess rarely happens overnight. âąYOU CAN be delivered from substance abuse. When you consistently refuse to acknowledge you canât make it alone you prematurely delay your own healing. Donât let anyone who canât be honest with themselves deter you from doing what you have to, to be the best version of you.
