"May is Mental Health Awareness Month and, well, can we all just give a round of applause for that? Even the existence of such a month is important. Because, unfortunately, there is still a stigma surrounding mental health.
For some of us, talking about mental health and mental illness is hard. But we owe it to ourselves, and to the millions of others just like us, to speak up. We are stronger together, and one of the most empowering things about speaking up is the knowledge that you are not alone, no matter how much to the contrary you might feel. Like the concept behind Inside Out, we need all the emotions to exist, not just the so-called happy and cheerful ones. Being "on" all the time can burn you out faster than anything."
