It’s okay to not be okay

Mental illness can affect anyone regardless of your age, gender, geography, income, social status, race, etc.Although there are signs, it is not always easy to see the signs of somebody struggling. Sometimes, people are good at masking, which is the ability to hide your authentic emotions, traits, or characteristics to meet external expectations. People may mask through laughing, making jokes, or smiling. They may even say they are doing great when asked how their doing, or they could brush off sadness as just being tired. On the outside, they may appear fine and nobody would know. Always check up on your friends, even the happy friends. What you may see on the surface may not always be true to the inside. Many people who have a mental illness do not want to talk about it because of how isolating it can be, but with the correct resources, things get better.
