Throughout my life I have lived with mental health specialists: my mother is a psychiatrist and her brother, my uncle, is a psychologist. And, as stupid as this sounds, my mental health was something I always leave last.😅
As I told you in a past blog, I haven’t been having a good time, after surviving some strong problems in my family, I have been badly injured most of December and January.⛈
It's amazing how there are days that all I want is to wrap myself in my sheets and cry until my tears run out, and if I'm lucky, one or two days a week I feel a little less sad and heavy.🌪
Now, why is it so difficult for some people (like me) to take the step to go to therapy? I assume that my pride did not allow me to believe that certain attitudes of mine were wrong. 🙅🏻♀️ But a couple of weeks ago I made the decision and now I'm with a psychologist taking therapy and MY GOD! How much I needed!😩
I have felt much better since I go with her, lighter and, although I still have sad days, they are reducing🌟. I will not lie and say that I am already very happy. It is not so, however, the gray cloud I felt accompanied me everywhere is gradually disappearing.

There are people who do not realize until they hit bottom, who do not accept help until everything gets dark. (Like me) We should normalize going to therapy like how we take care of our body and go to the gym or how we take care of our hair and go to the stylist or consult with our doctors, so we should take care of our mental health and not wait to be in a crisis to have to go.

And on the most terrible side, there are people who did not give themselves the opportunity and decided to take their own lives. So, we must take care of our mental health regularly and encourage those around us and Our beloved ones to do so. Each head is a world and we must always take care of it.🌎♥️
