Some #WorldMentalHealthDay https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> thoughts.

Years ago I saw a therapist. She pointed out that from childhood into my adulthood I& #39;d ignore my feelings and pain to keep the peace, and not burden those I love.

It was pretty eye opening and something I still struggle with to this 1/4

day. In a way I looked at it as a good thing. A sign of strength. Putting other& #39;s before myself.

In reality, it& #39;s a form of codependence. Because, God forbid I cause a riff in the matrix or people will leave.

All this to say, I think it& #39;s easy for people to look at mental 2/4

health and think of big buzzwords and diagnoses and medication and all that.

In truth all of us have struggles that we see as "normal" but aren& #39;t. The human mind and experience are so complex it& #39;s honestly arrogant to think we have it all together and have all the answers. 3/4

I sought therapy after going through something incredibly difficult and ended up learning more than I imagined even though I was only able to go for a few months.

I can assure you, mental health applies to everyone. Take care of yourselves and #EndTheStigma 4/4
