We all need reassurance that we’re not alone with our feelings, sometimes. Whether it’s words of wisdom from a friend, or a stranger on the internet – it’s important to stay connected.
For those that suffer with their mental health, it can sometimes take just a few words of comfort or encouragement to give that little boost, or strike a chord that can stop spiralling thoughts in their tracks. According to Mind, there are a lot of us out there: 1 in 4 people will experience a mental health problem of some kind each year in England, and 1 in 6 people report experiencing a common mental health problem (like anxiety and depression) in any given week in England.
While scrolling on social media can have its benefits and drawbacks when it comes to our mental health, there are many campaigners, experts and advocates out there that speak words of truth and strength that have inspired so many.
Whether you struggle with your mental health or not, these quotes and anecdotes could be helpful in helping those with anxiety, depression and other mental health issues, too.
And while it’s recommended to do your research before actioning mental health advice from social media therapists (there are many wonderful, accredited experts out there, but everyone’s mental health is nuanced, of course) – there are a number of posts that have particularly resonated with those that are struggling, and might just provide that little lift you need today. Here are some of our favourite mental health quotes to help you along…
