It's world mental health day today. I doubt most people bother with it though and i bet most don't even know this day exists. Everyone please take care of your mental health! It is very important. If you need to, go for counselling, call a helpline, or talk to someone who can help you. Don't wait!
Haha sounds like i'm doing some sort of advertisement :P But it is important ok! People don't like to acknowledge mental health issues and there is the whole problem of stigmatisation and such. But even mentally ill people are people too. Instead of avoiding them like a disease, we should be understanding and supportive of them, even if we can't help them personally.
And if we know people who are suffering from mental health issues, we should encourage them to get help too cos they may just need that extra push. And i think it's always helpful if they know that they have a friend who is willing to support them through whatever they are facing. But don't be too pushy, yeah? And don't give up on them! I really helps to have someone believing in you.
I've had a slack day today, which is good. But i feel as if i'm missing something. Hmm...
