It's OK if you're Not OK

There is a very strong culture in our society at the moment that seems to encourage people to just “not be OK with not being OK”. But that isn’t always enough – life is hard, and if you told me we all deserve a holiday I’d agree with you. BUT I am also not naive to the fact that I am very privileged and not everyone has the option to allow themselves time to heal. It is not weak to admit you’re struggling. It is not weak to ask for help and to take that time to heal. Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is admit something is wrong and seek help.<br><br>In the UK you can call the Samaritans at 116 123 or email [email protected].<br><br>In the US you can contact the suicide prevention line on 988.
