Yesterday was #mentalhealthawareness day and I decided I want to be as honest as I can on Instagram, to help erase the stigma in my community and just say I STARTED GOING TO THERAPY AND I LOVE IT. I wish I hadn’t waited so long. Nothing is “wrong with you” if you feel like talking to someone, if you feel anxiety, depression etc. Humans experience a full spectrum of emotions in SO many ways. Working on yourself mentally is important - don’t let anyone belittle the way you’re feeling or dismiss your feelings in any way. I also want to thank everyone that has been really encouraging to me, even people I don’t personally know through Instagram - we can have these conversations and stop suppressing the fact that taking care of yourself mentally is a real thing. I also acknowledge that going to therapy is a privilege because it can be very expensive and we also need to work on making mental healthcare more accessible. Okay that’s my Ted Talk, have a nice day :)
