One day, I asked a friend why we cannot discuss our mental health as we talk about diabetes, blood pressure, asthma… he said: “because none of those can cause you to hurt yourself or others.” That made me think oppositely. So we must talk about our mental health more than anything 🤷🏾‍♀️ because it affects the “sick person” and the whole family, community, state, country…

Hi, I am a Nephtalie. I have demons who come to visit once a while. But the universe gave me tools, friends, authors, strangers to help me fight them all. And today, I can proudly say suicide will never be an option!

Please, for your welfare and your loved one sake, talk to your friends. Seek professional help. As they can manage their asthma, we can control our mental health with the right guidance. Reach out to your friends. You never know the “strong ones” might be concealing their weakness.

“Anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary.” – Fred Rogers
