Well, I think you are unstable!

I am a mental health advocate and I have a million and very legit reasons to be one. Because why shouldn't one be supporting mental wellness along with physical wellness as a concept of health.

I am a mental health advocate because a person acting unhappy and sensitive is called unstable in my society without giving a single thought to the words being said. 

I am a mental health advocate because a psychiatrist is called "a doctor for crazy people". 

I am a mental health advocate because most of us don't understand that a bipolar isn't something you are, it is something you have. 

I am a mental health advocate because a child is the father of the man and sometimes the making of little human is tainted because we don't understand how important every action and every word towards that little human is.

I am a mental health advocate because we expect the men of our house to protect and provide and women of our house to nurture the family 24*7, 365 days without losing their minds as if it isn't a task that is sometimes as tough as climbing The Everest. 

I am a mental health advocate because students are expected to achieve nothing less than 90 percent or one of top 100 in national exams. 

I am a mental health advocate because most of us can't openly say, "I am going to therapy."

I am a mental health advocate because society still has the ignorance to say, "It's all in your head'', "You don't need a psychiatrist, you need yoga and meditation", "You are just making excuse to not do the work", "You are too young to be stressed, you have your whole life ahead." 

I am a mental health advocate because my peers do not understand what happy hormones are. 

I am a mental health supporter. Are you or are you not?
