   We need to put mental health above everything, make it our priority, and make this matter come out in light. We tend to neglect troubles and affliction, make everyone else believe we are fine, but actually it is merely ruining us much more.
   I support the initiative that some moms give their kids so-called mental health day, in which they are permitted to have a day off from kindergarten. But what about adults? This strategy should be implanted at high schools, universities and workplaces too. We need to create understanding and sympathetic environment, a society that doesn't judge.
   And now the most important - we need to learn to recognize when it is time to stop and take a pause. There is so much pressure from others nowadays, people's expectations are so high. We do our best to fulfill tasks and reach goals, we struggle on our own, despite the fact that we need help. Moreover, we try to help others as much as we can, although we can't cope with our own stuff. Everyone has their own limit of capabilities. Know to stop before it! Before you fall, break and destroy yourself. Don't wait until the moment when you actually want to be broken or injured, because then you will have solid reason to take that goddamn rest from everything and everyone. Don't let the external forces overcome you. You are the ruler of your life! Nothing more matters than your well-being and happiness.
   It is okay to have bad days, and it is okay to take a step back from overwhelming things for a while.

   Please take care of yourself!
