Hey sis, how are you navigating social events this month? If you donβt have the bandwidth to go, simply donβt go. If you do choose to engage, set a time limit. Show your face for 30-60 minutes & then make your way out. Be sure to set boundaries & take care of yourself.
Due to stigma, people with mental health conditions may be worried about talking to friends and family about their condition. Allies can help by starting a conversation around mental health and highlighting the importance of connecting with others.
