today is #worldsmentalhealthday. my mental health has been all over the place recently. i've had really great days and really shitty days. i've had days in vibrant technicolor and days where everything is greyscale. i've had days where i'm convinced i'm invincible and days i'm too anxious to eat. the dichotomy of mental health is one that isn't talked about a lot. the perception is that if we're not always symptomatic, then we must be fine. but i think it's important to remind people that, like physical health, mental health is constantly fluctuating and that's okay. you don't blame yourself when you have the flu, so why would you blame yourself when your brain is struggling?
i just want to remind everyone to take care of yourselves. our lives are so precious, so let's kick some ass.
