I call it common sense. If it helps, do it. Nobody online or in real time can walk in my shoes. It is what I think of as taking care of myself.

There is so much stigma around mental illness!
Thank you for sharing! I think it is important that those of us who are proud of how far we have come with the help of medicines need to speak out.
