I used to think mental health was “gay.”
That we should not care about our mental health and we should just be “real men.”
How stupid that was…
I did not realise the importance of it back then but I wish I did as I suffered majorly from trauma, for in my case school bullying.
I wish I could tell that younger version of me the truth…
It does matter it is not gay and etc.
Why?
Because it influences your inner voice, which is the most important thing you MUST have control over.
Your inner voice will always be with you, your thoughts, FOREVER.
And of you do not have a good positive one which is obtained by healing your trauma having low scores on depression, anxiety and all that…
You really will struggle and suffer, and life will be 2x harder and more painful.
But, hey it is your choice.
