Mental health is hard

  • Difficult to understand when to get help for mental health
  • Hard to know if you are just sad that day, hopeless or depressed.
  • Talking to someone prematurely is uncomfortable.��Hopelessness is not a disease but it has an effect�(eating habits, sleep patterns & social relations)
