I think it's great they have a mental health awareness month.. It's all too often ignored or thought of as just a weakness... Thank you for bringing this to our attention.. this is a great thing..
I post mental health stuff cause I'm crazy. You should've seen the tears at my last meeting with my shrink because she's retiring. I loved her. Now I get to start all over again with another shrink in August.
