Mental Health Awareness Week 2025
6 months ago
Hello all!
It has been a long time since I have done a journal, and I had hoped to make this specific post yesterday but I was unable too. This week, from the 12th to 18th of May, is Mental Health Awareness Week.
The aim of this week is to bring people together to focus on helping one another boost our mental health, and this year the theme is 'Community'. And man, what a community we have in the furry fandom. One filled with such extraordinary people from various parts of the world. Some I have had the absolute pleasure of meeting and others I hope to one day meet.
To celebrate the power and importance of community when supporting Mental Health, either with a DM, a social media post, or tagging a friend, send one or more of the following:
- Check in! Send a 'Hello' to someone, because I am confident we our days get that much brighter when someone reaches out to you.
- A compliment! Send a complimentary message to someone. It doesn't have to be warranted, but a just because I wanted to kinda thing.
- A happy memory! Take a walk down memory lane. Recall either a time you spent together at a convention, a call, a game, or even got a commission together.
- A hug! Big or small or same size, send them a hug their way.
- Listen to what they have to say, whether good or bad. Sometimes just having an ear goes a long way.
We are all part of such a great community, so let us show our support and love for all those we hold dear. Everyone has their good and bad days, but that is how this life goes. We cannot have the good without the bad. Having the bad days does not define you, but what does define you as a person is your resilience to get through them. You are all loved and no one here is alone.
Have a FANTASTIC day all of you sweethearts!

Thank you. This is exactly what I need right now. I'm going through a very tough time right now and need help figuring stuff out.

Oh, that's this month?! Thanks for the heads-up! And to everyone out there, no matter what you're going through, you don't need to be alone during it.
