alright so I've never been one to be shy about the shit I got going on. I'm usually pretty open about how I feel. but I know its not always that easy for others. and I get it. shit gets tough and it's not easy to open about.
I know how hard it can get and how it feels to think you've reached the end. believe me, I've been there more than I care to admit. but so much of this can be worked on and a lot of it starts with just your mindset and attitude on everything. yeah I know it sounds stupid but.
it's ok to not be ok. 99.7% of other people have shit going on too. it's ok. I can't stress enough how important it is that you just be able to acknowledge what's going on with you because once you do, you can start working on you and kick that shit in the ass.
there's a lot of ways to get better. if you need to get things out, it's ok to talk to someone. if you aren't much of a talker, work hard on finding a constructive outlet to get some of that energy and emotion out.
and for people that aren't necessarily struggling, please please please be present and there for everyone that you can. your friends might not always want to talk about their shit, but knowing you're there if they need it could make all the difference. we all need to be better.
there is still so much stigma surrounding the overall idea of "mental illness". to some degree, there's always going to be some. but I hope we can start to be better, both with each other and as a whole society. I know not just one person is going to fix it, but it's something.
be there for your friends. talk to people. be present. we've all got our shit but if we all help and be there for each other then it's going to be a whole hell of a lot easier for all of us and the world will be better.
