Seek to empower people living with a mental illness: It help more than not
#sisterlove #keepingitreal #mentalillnessawareness My sister went for her checkup at the hospital alone today. When I told her yesterday she would have to go alone, she didn't smile but knew I was serious about that. She has been to her son's and the market on her own, so she can go to the hospital too on her own ooooo. I encouraged her to tell the doctor exactly how she was feeling and gave her money to get breakfast and any meds that might be prescribed. What I know is that persons living with a mental illness or facing mental health challenges, want to be empowered and supported no matter how difficult we might sometimes come across. Everybody's pace and patience is différent don't get me wrong, but it's worth the try. I am definitely so proud of my sister. Six weeks ago I was feeling her but I didn't give up on hope. Be inspired motivated and encouraged someone ooooooo I share our journey to demystify and destigmatize mental illness and mental health challenges. #dontgiveup #thereishope #BeTheHope #mentalillnesssupport #mentalillnessrecovery #mentalhealthmatters #FOCUS2021 #therapistmag
