“When people say, “I’m anxious, depressed, or I need to work on my mental health.” Don’t question it. Don’t tease them. Don’t diminish their issues because you want something from them and their mental health limits their ability to deliver. It was hard enough for them to acknowledge and share. If you do not understand because you’ve never experienced mental health issues, go educate yourself. Do not look to them for everything you need to know about mental health. They are learning too. Do the work to understand.” — Nedra Glover Tawwab
