We’ll Own That Feeling

Young people live with overwhelming feelings of anxiety, depression, stress, or loneliness every day. We’ll own that feeling together so no one has to live with it alone.

It is okay to have good days and bad days. You will get through those days when you don't feel like getting out of bed, going to school, talking to others. Remember to hold space for yourself to feel, name a feeling, accept, and move on with your day. If you cannot be there for others, you need to be here for yourself. Take good care of yourself. You are not alone.

Mental health is a life long journey. There will be good days and there will be bad days. But don’t give up. For the bad days make us appreciate the good days all that much more. I promise you the sun will shine again. I promise. Don’t give up. You are not alone. You don’t have todo this alone.

Life is a journey, filled with both good days and truly challenging ones. It's okay not to be okay. Sometimes, asking for help feels like the hardest thing to do, but please remember—you are not alone. We need one another to celebrate the good times and to lean on during the difficult moments. Take care of yourself, and don’t forget to check in on your friends and family. We’re in this together.

None of us are broken. You are not broken. I am not broken. Some life moments hold sunshine, others are like a friggin' hurricane. And in both the sunshine and hurricane moments, the starting line for many of us is...to just breathe. xo

There are many people who feel the same way you do right now. Life can be messy and complicated at times, and although you might feel heavy and in the dark today, you are stronger than you know. There are many people that want to help you shine bright, find your light or just sit with you while you process the current fog. Please do not give up. Keep going. You are not alone.

You are not alone, and it's okay to ask for help. Taking care of your mental health is just as important as your physical health. Be kind to yourself, celebrate small victories, and remember that progress is progress, no matter how small!!
