💚GPCAP members Mental Health Day words of encouragement:
💚 “As we celebrate the world's mental health day, let us remind ourselves that you are here, you are alive, and that itself is a triumph. Let us not overlook the strength it takes to simply exist in this world. Every breath you take is a reminder of the resilience within you. Just remember that our mind is not our enemy, but it is a complex and beautiful part of you. Some days can be harder than others, but it is okay not to be okay, and it is okay to seek help. Seeking help is a sign of your strength, not your weakness; it is not okay to carry your burden alone. Their hands are ready to hold you up in every journey of your life. Remember to celebrate the small victories: getting out of bed, taking a shower, reaching out to a friend, etc. These are steps forward, no matter how small they seem. Give yourself credit for fighting the battle no one else can see. The road to better mental health is not a sprint; it is a marathon. There will be many ups and downs on this road forward, but no matter how tiny progress is, you are worthy of every effort. Every ounce of kindness you can give yourself is a motivation to be a better you. Hold on to hope because brighter days are ahead. You deserve love, happiness, and peace. Keep going because your story is far from over and it will inspire others. Your mental health matters.” 🥰💚
