Your mental health is a journey, not a destination. It's normal to experience ups and downs. Just as life has its ebbs and flows, so too will your mental health. Acknowledge the emotions you feel in each state, but also pay attention to what helps you cope. For example, if you're struggling and know that connecting with others helps you feel better, reach out and prioritise those connections. If you're feeling lost or unsure of how to move forward, remember that you're not alone. There are people who care and can help. Don't hesitate to reach out to a friend, family member, or healthcare professional. For Free National Services in Australia, you can call: 💛 Beyond Blue: 1300 22 4636 - Provides information, support, and online chat for people experiencing depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts. 💛 Lifeline: 13 11 14 - Offers 24/7 crisis support and suicide prevention services.
