September is Suicide Prevention Month.
It’s time to end the stigma around mental health. Social stigma and discrimination can make mental health problems worse and sidetrack a person from getting the help they need.
Be kind to yourself and others.
Your mental health matters 🤍

Everyone's a mental health advocate until they see the ugly side of it, until someone hasn't showered in weeks, having 3+ panic attacks a day, intense mood swings, uncontrollable anger outburst or even hallucinations. Good if you want to advocate, but don’t pick and choose 🙂
Some people only advocate for romanticized, high functioning version of depression and anxiety, but when it comes to schizo, psychosis, personality/bipolar disorder, etc are ignored and marked it as "gila". Mental health awareness is all good until it comes to the ugly side kan?
