@RealDepProject, always so consistent with their daily emails. It is so important to be able to ask for help. Mental health matters. #ItsOkayNotTobeOkay

Daily quote from @RealDepProject

[Georgia Lilford @GeorgiaLilford]

"Viruses don't discriminate and neither should we!"

[Georgia Lilford @GeorgiaLilford]

"Health anxiety is one of the several psychological factors that will influence the way any given person responds to a viral outbreak, including COVID-19."

[Georgia Lilford @GeorgiaLilford]

"COVID-19 has produced a lot of uncertainty. Daily we are being faced with questions about how to best keep
ourselves and our loved ones safe, as well as how to manage changes in our routines. First, know it is normal
to feel stressed!"

[Georgia Lilford @GeorgiaLilford]

“Yet we mostly pay attention to “death” — what harms, damages, or kills us.
​What if we were to focus at least as much on life?“

[Georgia Lilford @GeorgiaLilford]

“Against the cold running down we call entropy, life is the energy that runs up,
finds a way, expands into every possible crack, raises up a generation beyond itself.
Life goes on. ​And it goes on in any of your or my short, peculiar and particular span of years.”

Quite a while ago I subscribed to a social enterprise called ‘The Depression Project.’ Here, brothers, Matthew and Danny Baker (a great author), share their insights into depression’s very real struggles. They’re doing an amazing thing - have a look on Facebook. @RealDepProject

Asking for help is one of the strongest things one can do. Stop the stigma. #ItsOkNotToBeOk

[Center for Adult & Child Psychiatry @CFACP_Orlando]

Nearly 2/3 of people with a known #mentalhealth problem never seek help from a health care professional. We wanted to let you know that we're here and it's okay to ask for help! #endthestigma #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #depressiontherapy #anxiety #PTSD #psychiatry

On the bad days remember that the sun will rise again and you have a clean slate to start over. Your mental health is just as important as your physical health, and if you find yourself struggling to find the… https://t.co/mqdEIZ2acF

This scene has been playing on repeat in my mind since seeing it 3 days ago. In a world focused in on a new pandemic and the devastation that surrounds it, this news is important and hope-filled.
