What we all need to take from this: "The strength is in vulnerability. The danger is in trying to push through."

[@HotelCalifornia360]

That’s it! I’ve been a RN since 24. At 45 these last two years wore me out. I woke up one day and chose me. Turned in my resignation and left. Been doing mental health therapy and meditation to heal me! And not apologizing for it! I was tired of pushing though!❤️

[@tkloveshair]

Mental health is not much of a discussion bc we simply cant afford to show weakness in the outside world. However our soul does not get set free and the trauma cycle repeats 😪😢

[@filmadcamp1512]

The outside world doesn't need to know you're going to therapy. It's a private decision.

[@nyahdejai8770]

@@filmadcamp1512 the therapist is apart of that outside world, we’ve been taught to keep it to ourselves muscle through, talking to someone seems impossible sometimes, especially if they don’t look like you

This is so true, our community never wants to talk about mental health problems. We need to break the generational cycles.

I noticed 2. Where I work there is a young girl who I just respect the s out of and she loves to match with me . I have a green suit and she texts me to remind me to wear it, so she can wear her green dress. When she sees me walk in she has the biggest smile and says “ we’re matching “ . It’s adorable lol
