Mental Health Matters, please note You’re Not Alone
Some days don’t look heavy from the outside…
but inside, everything feels loud, confusing, and exhausting.
I once met a man sitting quietly at a park bench.
Well dressed. Calm. Normal, you’d think.
But when I asked how he was, he said,
I don’t even know where to start… I just feel lost.
That sentence will stay with me forever.
So many people around us are carrying silent battles.
Smiling. Working. Showing up. But struggling deeply inside.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, low, or not yourself, please don’t handle it alone. Talking to someone is not weakness.
It’s strength. It’s courage. It’s the first step toward healing.
Where to start:
• Speak to your GP (doctor)
• Ask for a Mental Health Care Plan
• Connect with a psychologist or counsellor
• Reach out to someone you trust
• Call a support line anytime or even just to talk

Check in on your friends.
Check in on yourself.
A simple “Are you okay?” can save a life.
You matter more than you think.
Help is always available..... Always.
