Mental health is important

TW: sensitive topic

September is suicide prevention month. 

Mental health means a lot to me personally. I have had friends with various mental health struggles, and I have also struggled with my mental health. I know when I was younger, there was a whole stereotype and stigma about mental health and a lot of people preferred to keep quiet about it. Now, there is so much more talk about it and I think that is so important. 

Sometimes life gets hard. We feel trapped or hopeless. Things can feel empty and sometimes you can think there's no way out. But there is a way out and reaching out for help is a great way to start. You are important and your life matters.
