30DaysOfMentalHealthWithEmeka -- Day 6 : Talk About It
Shame is mental health's greatest weapon. It confers shame on you by telling you that you are wrong for feeling the way you feel.
Instead of allowing shame to be the boss of you, TALK ABOUT IT. Talk about it to people you trust, to your diary, to your phone, just let out how you feel and what you fear to the light.
Pain and struggles fear the light. Expose it. Speak up. Verbalize your fears and struggles, and see just how better you will feel afterwards. -

30DaysOfMentalHealthWithEmeka -- Day 3: That Is Not You
When we go through tough days, our head suggests to us who we are, our head tells us that what we are feeling is who we are. But that is not true.
You are not your feelings!
Because you feel sad and depressed does not mean you are a sad and depressed person.
That is not you. -
30DaysOfMentalHealthWithEmeka -- Day 2: Forgive Yourself
Living with mental health struggles can mess your mind so much that you hate yourself every single time you slip, relapse. You berate yourself for feeling how you feel, and whatever else you do to alleviate the pain. There is a voice in your head that never forgives you for not being strong enough.
Forgive yourself!
Extend grace to your being, to your person. Forgive yourself! -
