Today is a wonderful beautiful joyous day because its World Mental Health Day–A day and a cause that is very special to me.
Many around the world struggle with some sort of mental health disorder or mental illness, you don’t need a mental illness to recognize the importance of mental health. I have had a decently long battle with my mental health as I am the lucky winner of a couple mental illnesses myself. The past 5 years have been a rollercoaster to say the least, some days are not so good–others are amazing, the entire process is tiresome to say the least.
Throughout the past couple months I have gotten more in-tune with myself and am using that to combat my mental illnesses. One of the things I do is write: poems, journal entries, thoughts, etc., it helps calm my traditionally over active mind–A lot of the time I write how I am feeling. In honor of mental health day (I am gonna make it mental health week) I am going to post one of the things I have written every day for the next week. (yippie) !!!
So heres to mental health! As tiring as it may seem and as misunderstood as you may feel, remember you are never ever alone and that your mental health is always worth it. Now go for a walk or listen to your favorite song or something. See you tomorrow.
