May is Mental Health Awareness Month and I’ll be posting something each day for the rest of the month here daily.
I found a fantastic illustrator who is great with words. She’s Marissa Betley; you can find her on Instagram.
No one’s ever said that exactly to me. But I’ve heard variations:
“Just get some exercise.”
“Get some sun — it’s a beautiful day.”
“Get more sleep.”
“Get out of bed.”
“Take a shower.”
“Get out of the house.”
“I heard of this book…”
“My brother/sister/cousin was depressed and they only needed …”
“Do you take vitamins?”
“You should try _________oils.”
“Have you tried this Bible study?”
“Maybe it’s your diet. You should go __________free.”
Only twice had a friend say “you need to see a doctor. That is my experience.
