✨ mental health check-in ✨ — it’s common for us to schedule a routine visit to the doctor when we aren’t feeling our best, so it should be common for us to check in with our #mentalhealth to ensure that we are physically, mentally and emotionally in tune. did you know that when you are dealing with a mental illness like depression, trauma and anxiety, not only does it affect you mentally, but you can feel it in your body? for it manifests in ways like headaches + stomach aches, dizziness and more. did you know that what we put in our bodies can also affect our mental health. nutrition is important. but low appetite can also be signs of depression and other mental health concerns. so when was the last time you ate? are you tired? being sleep deprived doesn’t do our health any favors, it’s okay to rest. your mind is depending on it. overall there are small day-to-day things that we experience that can be easily overlooked and is impacting our mental health in major ways. so check on yourself. check on a friend. — ✨ affirmation: i am a priority, i am allowed to take care of myself.
