Your mind matters. Talk about it. #Repost @aimeej21 (@get_repost) ・・・ Today is the last official day of Mental Illness Awareness Week. But that doesn’t mean mental illness doesn’t exist after today. Did you know that 1 in every 4 adults experience a mental illness? Or that 1 in 5 children btwn 13-18 have or will have a serious mental illness? These stats come from the National Alliance on Mental Health. #IDONTMIND sharing that things have not always been perfect for me. I have had bouts of depression, experienced anxiety, and have OCD tendencies. I have also seen it in my friends and family. Of course you didn’t know. We don’t talk about these things publicly. It may be a stigma in society, but it is a more powerful stigma in multicultural communities. I am blessed to have my own support system, but (1) not everyone is so lucky and (2) it doesn’t just magically go away. Chasing dreams isn’t always easy and the journey is never smooth. Help erase the stigma surrounding mental illness and support one another by talking about it. Keeping these things hidden doesn’t help anyone, it only hurts. Your mind matters. Talk about it. Make talking about mental health a new normal. What we do today will help make it better for the next generation.
