I'm Not Okay, and That's Okay

I'm not okay.

Sometimes we have to admit that to ourselves. Not to others, for attention or sympathy--but to yourself. Pretending you're okay is not okay. Being not okay is okay, which doesn't mean you should want to stay that way.

On April Fourth my teenage nephew killed himself. My post about it is here:

Thank you for being willing to admit that you're not okay. I think that's super important. *hugs*

Thanks--it's not easy.

It’s definitely a good thing to recognise that people are not OK and also that’s it’s alright to acknowledge it when something triggers depression. The bad stuff keeps happening - and we need to acknowledge our feelings and ask for help if we need it.

Absolutely, thanks. I hope everyone agrees!

It's good to recognize that things are not as they should be. I hope you can find good, qualified help as soon as possible.
