Mental health is not a destination, but a process. It’s about how you drive, not where you’re going.
The only journey is the journey within.
Your present circumstances don’t determine where you can go; they merely determine where you start.
There is no health without mental health.
Sometimes the people around you won’t understand your journey. They don’t need to; it’s not for them.
Your illness does not define you. Your strength and courage does.
It’s okay to not be okay. Just don’t give up. Reach out and talk to someone who can help.
You don’t have to be positive all the time. It’s perfectly okay to feel sad, angry, annoyed, frustrated, scared, or anxious. Having feelings doesn’t make you a negative person. It makes you human.”
Mental health needs a great deal of attention. It’s the final taboo and it needs to be faced and dealt with.
You don’t have to suffer in silence. You can be un-silent. You can live well with a mental health condition, as long as you open up to somebody about it, because it’s really important you share your experience with people so that you can get the help that you need.
What mental health needs is more sunlight, more candor, and more unashamed conversation.
Recovery is not one and done. It is a lifelong journey that takes place one day, one step at a time.
It’s not just about mental health, it’s about mental fitness. We all have a state of mental health. And, just like our bodies, our minds can be fit too.
You don’t have to control your thoughts; you just have to stop letting them control you.
The strongest people are not those who show strength in front of us but those who win battles we know nothing about.
Don’t be ashamed of your story. It will inspire others.
Recovery is an ongoing process, for both the addict and his or her family. In recovery, there is hope. And hope is a wonderful thing.
