AFSP

This episode of Ask Dr. Jill will offer guidance for responding to someone you’re concerned about in a caring, empathetic, and validating way — and connecting them to help. Many people hesitate to accept professional help when needed, whether it means making an appointment with a therapist or reaching out to a crisis resource or mental health hotline. We’ll talk about ways to provide encouragement and support.

I remember the day I took this picture so vividly.

I was having a bad day and I just kept pushing. I decided if I worked on my art (in this case makeup) then I would just feel better.

I sat down and tried to express 'anger' through my makeup and expression, but instead of releasing the feeling like I had hoped, I was really just punishing myself for feeling angry and making myself feel worse.

So in honor of American Foundation for Suicide Prevention's campaign #MentalHealth4All for Mental Health Awareness Month, my action is to give myself permission to have bad days and to not beat myself up for not feeling OK when I really need to be taking care of myself and being kind.

How will you support #MentalHealth4All ?
