“I start therapy tomorrow.”
Woo-hoo, alright…….,(raise glass)
And now a toast; not for a new job, new home or new relationship, but to Mental Health.
On most occasions it was something many were drinking to escape from , but to drink too in celebration definitely a new concept.
And to even have the strength to admit to others publicly not easy. Mental Health for so long always came with fear and judgement.
Now with this one moment a forward step for the stigma books. This is proof that we as a people
have come a great distance in how mental health is perceived. If this isn’t proof that Mental
health narrative isn’t changing I don’t know what is.
The road is still tough but at least the
scenery is changing.
And that’s something to toast too. Cheers!
