Why mental health matters 🩷
May is mental health awareness month.
So many people are reluctant to open up or to ask for help!
What would you need to hear to feel more open to asking for support?
Whet would hold you back? 🩷

Thank you for offering us a safe space.

I wish people were calm while talking to me, not be quick to judge me if I made a mistake and listen to me carefully.

I would hold back if I found the person I was opening up to intimidating or I felt that my story was a source of gossip for them.
@trueconfidant123
I really appreciate you opening up and sharing what it is that makes you feel comfortable 🩷
We need more of these conversations 💙
@Amanda84
Thank you for validating my thoughts. I appreciate this space.
@trueconfidant123
It's a pleasure 💜

You followed my lead saying whet, like your sense of humour, mocking my spelling 😂😂😂😂😂💜
@Amanda84
I pasted it straight up and didn't care enough to change the spelling lol.
@trueconfidant123
I believe you 😂😂😂🥰

What I would need to hear to be more open to asking for help would be if people wouldn't judge or ridicule me right away, it would also help if there wouldn't be so much pressure to share everything at once.
What would hold me back is if everyone tries to solve my problems for me with doing what they think is best without actually asking what would be helpful.

You've brought up some very interesting comments for me here which I wouldn't have considered, so thank you kindly for sharing 🩷
@Amanda84

A space where I'm not rushed to share everything at once, someone who doesn't judge me too early without listening to the whole thing. I don't need to be fixed, I only care about a kind, steady and genuine presence. It doesn't have to be perfect, it's ok for you to ask many questions but please try to be calm when asking them and be patient for my answers, and forgive me if I made a mistake. also please let me know if u need to leave or not comfy, It's completely okay I understand 💗
What would hold you back?
If someone start giving advices and try to fix or judge me... Or force their opinions, It would hold me back :( I only need a space to share my experience, be validated, express myself freely and share how I truly feel, without much filter.
