This month is Mental Health Awareness Month.
Every May, the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), joins the national movement to raise awareness about mental health.
It goes without saying, the pandemic has been very difficult on people’s mental health and feelings of depression and anxiety have become very common.
If you’re feeling like your thoughts and feeling might be too weird to share with someone, especially your therapist — think again.
On Reddit, therapists are sharing common anecdotes they’ve heard various times that are actually quite common, despite what their patients think.
Don’t worry, you’re not alone! Things that you may consider weird are actually quite normal.
