We humans these days give so much importance to our physical health, every influencer on social media, celebrities, people in general everyone only talks about physical health. Workouts, getting lean, eating healthy, IF, keto, gym and nowadays working out at home is the new trend as we are all staying home but why is that hardly anyone speaks about Mental well being.
Of course, staying active and eating clean is important but so is our mental wellbeing. But still, as a society, we have been neglecting mental wellbeing for quite some time now.
Why is there a stigma around mental health? Why people are not talking about it?
Considering the difficult phase the entire human race is going through more and more people are facing anxiety, fear, depression but we are all talking about recipes, workout from home, useless challenges.
Recently a friend was going through a difficult time and she had an episode which was completely shocking for all of us because we never knew what was going on. She never talked about her issues, anxiety, or what was bothering her. We always saw this image of a happy person who is busy with her life. Even after her panic attack, she is not ready to talk about it.
The social stigma attached to mental health leads to discrimination and because of which very few people come out openly and get the required help.
I feel really sad to see her struggle and not open up. I know it's difficult but isn't it normal to talk about your mental state why is it a taboo.

It's ok to talk about mental health, it's ok to get help, it's ok to not be a perfect picture you see on your Instagram or Facebook.
It's ok to be not ok.
