YOU DON'T HAVE TO MAN UP

PHYSICAL HEALTH VS MENTAL HEALTH
Most people keep checking their physical health but very few people understand that they neec to keep checking their mental health as well. It is important to start having a holistic approach to how we understand 'health' and what all we do to look after it.

REMINDER
Just a reminder for people when mental illness seems way too overbearing, that they should always master up the strength to do something in their own way by being themselves. There is always a brigh day that waits for everybody. Sometimes the mud just gets too thick to wade that we need somebody to talk to. Be it any kind of relationship or interaction with people, it is really important to remember that nobody has the right to make you feel small or put you down. You dont have to struggle in silence. Everybody in this entire world deserves the best. Nobody is alone and yes mental health and illness matters.
