TAKE A NOTE: MENTAL HEALTH

May is National Mental Health Awareness Month. Learn to evaluate WHAT you are feeling, WHY you feel that way and that it’s OKAY to feel that way.  We gloss over and ignore and hope our luggage will just go away some how. Face it. Own It. Don’t let “it” take charge.Like the song goes, EXPRESS YOURSELF! One of the best coping mechanisms is to talk. To a friend, a professor, family, mentor, doctor. Holding it in is almost never the answer. We are bound to explode. There is no shame in exposing your vulnerabilities. Therapy is not for the weak as we may have been subconsciously taught. If talking is not your thing… find another outlet that helps YOU release. Exercise. Get crafty. Read. Write. Volunteer. Pray. However you choose to express yourself, the world is waiting.
