Discussing your mental health should be an ongoing conversation. While it can be nerve-racking, it's important to identify someone you feel comfortable with to start the conversation.

The ins/outs and highs/lows of life can be draining and in certain circumstances leave lasting imprints. In the moment, your main goal may be to just get through it. Yet, as time passes you may experience feeling imbalanced, lost or on edge. You may have also learned that you can't “trust people” or may feel apprehensive towards “getting help”. You may even tell yourself "I got this" or "It's not a big deal". You begin experiencing what I like to call "suffering in silence". While I am a firm believer in your capability in handling day to day challenges on your own, my message is to highlight that you do not have to.
