Sometimes “I’m fine” is easier than explaining what’s really going on. But you don’t have to keep everything to yourself. You’re allowed to talk about your mental health. You’re allowed to say you’re struggling, overwhelmed, lonely, anxious, or simply not feeling like yourself. Talk to someone you trust…. a friend, family member, counselor, teacher, coworker, or anyone who makes you feel safe enough to be honest. And if you don’t know who to talk to, you can call or text 988. You don’t have to be at your lowest point or in immediate danger to reach out. Even if you’re just having a really hard day, feeling sad, or need someone to listen, the 988 Lifeline is there. You don’t always have to say “I’m fine.” 💜 Talking about your mental health is a sign of strength. You are not alone.
