It’s a strange moment, to think about #WorldMentalHealthDay today, in this moment, in this year. There is so much trauma happening around us, with far too few systems to help those who need it and far too many who still stigmatize those who seek to improve their mental health.
I am grateful and privileged to live a life where I have had the ability to receive help from those systems that do exist and where mental health treatment is celebrated as an obvious good step.
We need to do better, though. Not only in general, but specifically in light of the year in which we are living. We must make ourselves, as a society, up to the task of caring for the mental health of everyone in our communities.
Reach out to your family and friends who might be affected. Let them know you love them. See what they need.
I’ll leave it at that for tonight. 💖
Night, all, and let us try to be good to one another — and ourselves.
