i’m making another thread for #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth : COVID-19 edition

mental health tidbit of the day: being in quarantine for so long has the potential to negatively impact your mental health. one way to protect yourself during this time is to stay connected w loved ones! physical distancing doesn’t mean social distancing. you still have supports!

mental health tidbit of the day: if you’re unable to go in-person for therapy, there are teletherapy services available! feel free to check out some of the apps and websites mentioned here: https://www.shape.com/lifestyle/mind-and-body/best-therapy-mental-health-apps

mental health tidbit of the day: if ur able to, get some exercise in for the sake of ur mental health!! being in quarantine doesn’t mean we have to stay cooped up indoors 24/7. even taking a walk outside is better than nothing, and you’ll probably feel better afterwards!

mental health tidbit of the day: it’s not ur fault if u have low self-esteem!! i saw a troubling “motivational” ig acct telling people this but it’s wrong. if you lack confidence in urself, that’s okay. learning to love yourself is a journey that looks different for everyone
