World Mental Health Day.

Life can be awful.

Life can be amazing.

In between those extremes are the various shades of ordinary.

Life rarely stays in one place for long.

Mental health affects every aspect of your life. It is far from a neat little issue that can be put in a box. Just because nobody can heal or do your inner work for you doesn't mean you can, or should, battle on alone.

Shame keeps us silent, but there's no shame in asking for help.

Believing you are good enough is hard without trying to strive for perfection, which simply doesn't exist.

Unity is strength and together we can do great things.
