Everyone’s mental health journey is different. How one person processes and seeks care and attention for their mental health may not necessarily work for someone else. One person’s journey and process does not invalidate someone else’s, nor does one person deserve more empathy than another for taking a certain treatment route. Anybody who is currently experiencing challenges with their mental health, anybody who is in some sort of treatment, and anybody who is in some way or another paying attention to their mental health is deserving of empathy.

An important part of the healing process is being able express what you’re going through to those you feel supported by. Whether that’s your family, friends, a therapist, or someone else you feel safe with to share your thoughts and feelings with, it’s going to make a difference for your mental health to be able to talk to those people rather than keep it all held in.
