May is Mental Health Awareness Month… but let's talk about it real quick ... - Mary Boyce

Y'all out here Googling symptoms like:

"Why can't I remember what I walked into this room for?" That's not anxiety, baby. That's being 45.

"I don't want to go anywhere or see anybody." That's not depression. That's a Saturday. And you've EARNED it. 🛋️

"I keep losing my train of thought mid-sentence and—" ...Wait, what was I saying? See?! It's already happening. 🚂💨

"I have sudden mood swings." No, you don't. Somebody just chewed too loud near you. That's REASONABLE.

"I talk to myself all the time now." That's not a disorder. That's the only way to have an intelligent conversation some days. 🗣️👏

"I cry for no reason." Ma'am… your knees just cracked getting off the couch. That's a valid reason.

Listen — Mental Health is REAL. Take it seriously this May. Check on your people. Talk to someone. It's okay to not be okay.

BUT ALSO…

Some of y'all don't have a mental health crisis. You have a BIRTHDAY crisis. 🎂😂 April gave you a new age and May gave you a diagnosis. Calm down.

You're not losing your mind. You're just losing your reading glasses. Again. For the third time today. 👓

Take care of your mental health. Take care of your physical health. And for the love of God… take care of your knees. They're not coming back.
