Crying Out Loud

Mental Health Awareness Month began in the United States in 1949 (76 years ago) and was started by Mental Health America (MHA) (then known as the National Association for Mental Health). Each year in mid-March Mental Health America releases a toolkit of materials to guide preparation for outreach activities during Mental Health Awareness Month. During the month of May, MHA, its affiliates, and other organizations interested in mental health conduct a number of activities which are based on a different theme each year. The Mental Health Month ribbon is green, symbolizing Hope, strength, and emotional support for those affected by mental illness. This years theme is “turn awareness into action”. How do you take care of your mental health? 💚 ***deprevention

Spring is here!!! Let us remind you that tomorrow is coming. Making is better than the day before. ***deprevention

The day will come when all anxiety and pain are gone but it is important not to give up on yourself or your future to get to that day. Take life one day at a time. Just get through today if that is all you can do. Just by accomplishing the tasks at hand you are setting examples to those around you that life is not meant to be perfect, but you can do it if you try. ***deprevention

It’s ok to NOT be ok. This has been my mantra for the last few weeks. I am so thankful for therapy. My therapist keeps me balanced and rational. Don’t be afraid to seek therapy! It might make your outlook a whole lot brighter. ***deprevention

Today is a Sunday Reset! Reset your mind, reset your space, reset your priorities. Do all of this in preparation for the week ahead. Make sure that you are choosing yourself. If you are responsible for taking care of others, make sure that you take care of yourself first. Choose you! Happy Sunday! ***deprevention

Just because you’re struggling at one or a few points in your life, doesn’t make you a failure. It is normal to feel inadequate or less than. Take one day at a time and improve what you can today. You got this!! ***deprevention ❤️

Anger is so poisonous and damaging. The old saying “forgive and forget” is a simple way of saying let go and move on. Do yourself a favor and let go of any resentment or hostility that you feel towards people or a situation. ***deawarenes
