Dee’s Mental Health Mondays
It takes courage to seek mental health treatment on your own, especially when you’re truly struggling. Internal conflict prior to making this decision is common, due to the stigma associated with seeking help. If you find yourself struggling with doing so, ask yourself the reasons for not wanting to try it. Is it because of lack of information? Will someone think you’re “crazy”? Is it due to financial concerns? There may be a ton of questions that you have about this decision. The brain is complex and will protect itself at all costs, so the uncomfortable questions are common. It’s absolutely okay to ask questions. Try writing them down and asking a qualified mental health professional, or even a trusted person in your life who has also sought help. It’s okay to seek help. It’s also okay to be unsure about it at first. Try to give yourself some grace.
