Don't Be Afraid to Ask for Help

Seeking help is frequently the first step toward becoming and staying well, but it can be difficult to know where to begin or who to turn to. It's natural to be unsure and wonder if you should try to handle things on your own.

“Remember that it’s okay to say "no" sometimes.”

"However, there is never a wrong time to get help". "Talking about your ideas and feelings with someone will always help you get insight that will likely be beneficial in your life." If you find yourself stressed, angry, irritated, depressed, or easily upset, it may be a good invitation to seek professional help to deal with those feelings."

Mental fitness does not have to consume a large amount of your time. Spending a few minutes each day on it can help you feel better and think more clearly. Remember that relaxation is just as vital as more intense activities like memory exercises or physical activity in a mental workout.
