Mental health is just as real
and as valid as a physical illness.
In the same way, you can't just wish your arm wasn’t broken or just get over,
you know, COVID or, you know, whatever other physical illness you have.
It's the same with mental health or mental illness.
Everyone has challenges and it's hard for all of us.
So if you don't know somebody's experience, don't judge them based on how yours is.
Give people the benefit of the doubt
and be willing to believe that they're struggling.
