Strong alone. Unstoppable together. ✨

Like the Ethiopian proverb says, even the smallest threads can unite to create something powerful.

Let’s break the stigma around mental health, one conversation, one connection, one act of care at a time.

Together, we can tackle what feels impossible. 🤍

Have you ever said to yourself, “Why am I always worried?”

If the worry feels constant, even when things seem fine, it could be more than just stress.

This carousel breaks down Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD).💡GAD can feel like your mind is always racing. It affects your sleep, your body, and your peace. And many people suffer silently, thinking it’s just who they are.

But here’s the truth:
👉🏾 GAD is real.
👉🏾 It’s not your fault.
👉🏾 And you don’t have to carry it alone.

Share this with someone who needs to hear it today. 🫶🏾

You are allowed to rest. You are allowed to feel joy. You are allowed to just be.💚

This summer, we’re choosing softness over survival. Stillness over striving.

Whether it’s taking in the sun, dancing to a throwback cultural song, or simply savouring your buna, you don’t have to earn your peace.

✨ Let this be the summer you choose yourself!

If you’ve been carrying too much lately… this is for you. 🤎

Some days, just getting out of bed feels like a victory. Some days, the weight is quiet, but heavy. These affirmations aren’t here to fix everything — just to remind you that you’re not alone in what you’re feeling.

Read them slowly. Save them for later. Let them sit with you.

You never know what someone’s battling behind their successes.

Burnout, anxiety, and self-doubt don’t disappear with job titles, GPAs, or achievements. Success doesn’t protect you from mental health struggles, and asking for help doesn’t make you weak.

📌 Save this as a reminder.�💬 Share it with someone who needs to hear it.

Let’s break the stigma together!🤍

Therapy isn’t just about meds.

Let’s clear the air: therapy comes in many forms, and not all of them involve medication. From art therapy to talk therapy, there’s a path that fits you💚

Opening up about your mental health doesn’t make you weak, rather it makes you brave💪🏾

Let’s break the stigma, one truth at a time.

05/23/2025

Stress isn’t always a meltdown.

Sometimes it’s subtle: avoiding calls, skipping meals, feeling off but not sure why. And it adds up.

Take a moment to check in with yourself!🤍

✨ Safe and welcoming environment

You’ve poured into others — now it’s your turn to bloom. 💫

Taking off the mask isn’t easy, but healing doesn’t ask you to rip it off all at once.

Let’s explore gentle and safe ways to start unmasking - one step at a time💚

This Mental Health Week, we’re reminding each other: Unmasking isn’t about exposure - it’s about choosing healing over hiding.

05/07/2025

Not all masks are physical. Sometimes, they look like humor, or overachieving, or always being the “strong” one.

Swipe through to explore the different ways we hide what we’re really feeling — and remember during this Mental Health Week that you’re not alone.

Let’s start unmasking.

05/06/2025

We all wear masks. To seem strong, to avoid judgment, to meet expectations. But behind the smile, the silence, and the "I'm fine", there's often pain we're afraid to name.

This Mental Health Week, we're focusing on the theme of Unmasking Mental Health. Struggling doesn't make you weak. It makes you human. And you deserve to be seen fully, not just the version that feels "acceptable."

Let's also unmask some commonly misunderstood mental health terms in our community and better understand how they actually feel, not just how they're labeled. Because understanding is the first step toward healing.
