There also needs to be better access to therapy and counseling, not just in crisis situations, but also as a way to maintain and improve overall mental well being. This could be provided through workplaces, schools, community centers, places where people gather, and it can make it easier for people to seek help when they need it. Of course, it's vital that we learn the importance of taking care of ourselves, both physically and mentally, so self care is key

I've been not focusing on the things in front of me because I've just been getting more and more narrow in my way of being.

Because I believe many people just want to feel like they're heard and people just want to be understood
