Remember to take a deep breath, unclench and stretch your muscles, and relax your mind from time to time throughout the day.
Yes things can be stressful, but things always have a way of working out ?

I want to dedicate today for those strong, courageous, compassionate individuals who have a loved one with mental illness and at many times be their support person.
For those kind souls who are caring for a loved one who struggles with brain condition / mental illness ❤️
Remember to take care of yourself ❤️ ?
You have to put on your oxygen mask first –
If you have Bipolar, please know that you are not alone. Having Bipolar can be hard (I’m having mixed episode as I’m writing this ?), but it is manageable. Remember to be kind to yourself. And remember, no matter how difficult an episode is, it WILL last. Stay calm, take care of yourself, and wait until the storm ⛈pass. And the storm ☔️ WILL pass, my dear friends ❤️.
Hugs ?,

Butterflies ? can’t see their wings. They can’t see how beautiful they are, but everyone else can. People are like that.
Dear friends, having mental illness can be really difficult ? at times, and sometimes we can’t see our own beauty. We only see our scars. ?
I am here to tell you that you are beautiful ? ? ?. You a warrior ?, and the scars you have are battle scars; and that’s what makes you beautiful.
You are beautiful and you are strong.
