We've become so skilled at hiding our pain, saying "I'm good" when we're falling apart inside. But here's the truth no one talks about, everyone is fighting battles you know nothing about, and the weight becomes unbearable when we carry it alone. On this World Mental Health Day, I'm giving you permission to feel whatever you're feeling—to acknowledge that things are hard and admit you're not okay. There is profound courage in this admission.

If you or someone you know suffers from a mental health condition or some form of trauma it is time to get some help. Call a number listed in this post. Start with 988.

In a month of heavy emotions, if you need help reach out to us or if serious call or text 988 to connect with a counselor 24/7.
