All too often you hear people say its okay to not be okay, but when you look at social media and see people happy and looking so pleased, with friends and their laughing, all the while they may even show you a little smile. They snap their holidays and their pets too, you follow their journey but if only you knew, just what goes on behind closed doors, they may be smiling on the outside but the rain may pour, it may pour over their head and be dragging them down but how would people know if they never make a sound? People may show the best of their life but its no good showing the best when you're in a constant fight, a fight with your head and your feelings too, if only you knew just how much others are struggling too. See you're not the only one who is fighting a battle, there's lots of people out there who are facing struggles, you just need to reach out and connect to them too, and maybe just maybe they may help you. We can't fight our battles all alone, we can try our very best but its like a war zone, a war that can't be won by yourself, its okay if you need to ask for help. No one will judge you for reaching out, in fact most people will applaud you for stepping out, and showing the world that life can be tough, but sometimes its okay to say that enough is enough, so when the time comes to approach someone for help remember that everyone has got things going on themselves. You may see the best of peoples life online but remember people only share what they think is alright, to share on the internet with all of their friends, they don't share the struggles because they are scared of what people will send, like being told they are just attention seeking or that they are overreacting and acting like a baby, but comments like this will drag people down and they don't need hate they need people around, to pick them up off the floor when they are down, to cheer them up and to show them how, life is not all bad and we all have our struggles, so remember next time when your life gets in a muddle, that we are all piecing ourselves back together like a puzzle, no one is perfect no matter what you see, we all have our battles you see, our mental health doesn't define who we are, its just a part of us, its just a battle scar, to show the world that we are all tough, so enough is enough. Stop hiding your true self behind the screen, be open and honest and show the world what it really means, to live with mental health day by day, so next time you post a status or a picture make sure to say that you live with your mental health and that it is okay, so many people are sacred to speak out but we shouldn't be scared we should be able to shout from the top of the roof tops from our mouths that its okay not to be okay.
