Mental Health Resources
Being on a mental health journey can be freaking exhausting. I recommend putting together your own list of resources that you have available to you and look it over when you’re feeling stressed. I hope this list of mental health resources gives you some ideas of things to try or services to look into that can help improve your mental health and get you feeling better fast.
