It's rare that people really want to know.

Yep, unless it's someone who has shared their struggles with me before. I'm pretty open about mental health concerns once I know it's safe to be.

Oh yeah! Also, easier if you are answering an email or text…you can add ! and then they know you are great.

Definitely yes! I find that most people that ask how you are don't really want a detailed response. With that being said, close friends and family are my go to when I need comfort/ advice. Hugs from me if you need it though!🙏💜💜

That question has become a part of common greeting conversation ...It actually does not mean anything at all - People never used to ask that question. My response is ... "I am not only fine but I am MIGHTY FINE !!!"

Not necessarily because others don’t understand, mostly because I was embarrassed to ask for help.

Yes, and I would like to encourage anyone who cannot afford a therapist and cannot trust people in their circle enough to share please seek a free local or national mental hotline if needed to speak as long as you want to some who can listen and help anonymously! There are many out there and I highly recommend!

God bless 🙏 everyone that needs to talk to someone. I have a 16 year old granddaughter that has anxiety and some depression issues and she can talk to her mom anytime and I told her she could call me anytime day or night if she needed to talk and she has a lot of friends that are very supportive. I would like to wish the best for everyone and lots of love and hugs 💕🤗

Yes it is, CrystalJo. I have one friend who always listens and never tries to fix me. She's a great lifeline. With most people, it's easier to just put on a good act and wrestle with my demons myself
