the importance of mental health.

hello.

i am sure today everyone has seen the tragic news already.

mental health is so important, yet it feels like some places in the world still don't take it seriously enough.

i just want to say i will always be here for those who need someone to talk to, i can give you a twitter account you can contact me on and we can talk, or if you just need someone to keep you company then i'll be more than willing to be your friend.

make sure you check up on your friends and family. make sure that they're doing okay. ask them how they're feeling. support them with what they're doing. tell them you love them. it's so important to make sure they know you're there for them so they can open up to you without feeling scared.

for the past five years i've been struggling with anxiety and depression, and within the last two i've been suffering from loneliness too. i was also born with a mental disability, making things even harder for me. at the beginning of this year i thought i wasn't going to see the end because of what was happening to me, but i fought on for everyone i loved and for myself. i won't let my inner demons beat me. i got help as well this year and it helped me a lot. i learned some coping strategies and talked to someone about my feelings, and although i'm not fully okay yet, i'm doing a lot better than i was before.

when things get tough, please get help. tell someone how you feel. don't suffer alone. you don't need to fight that battle by yourself. your loved ones want to help you, please tell them how you feel.

mental health is extremely important, and i hope everyone is doing okay. i will always be here for all of you.
