This World Mental Health Day, remember: You are your own hero. 🦋

Be the light that brightens your day, no matter how heavy the clouds may seem.

Take a breath. Speak kindly to yourself. Rest when you need to.

You don’t have to have it all figured out. Just keep choosing to rise, one small step at a time.

Because healing starts with you.

"𝑇𝑜𝑔𝑒𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟, 𝑊𝑒 𝑐𝑎𝑛 𝐸𝑛𝑑 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑆𝑡𝑖𝑔𝑚𝑎 𝑜𝑓 𝑀𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝐻𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑡ℎ."

It’s completely okay not to feel okay sometimes. Everyone goes through moments of doubt, stress, or sadness.

What’s important is acknowledging those feelings and giving yourself space to process them.

You don’t have to face them alone. If the burden feels too heavy to carry, reach out for help.

Some people care and are ready to listen. Don’t hesitate to make the call.

Your feelings matter. There is always hope. 🌿

Patuloy na nakakaapekto ang Southwesterly Wind Flow o hanging habagat na nagmumula sa timog-kanluran sa Southern Luzon, Visayas, at Mindanao.

Samantala, magiging maaliwalas ang panahon sa Northern at Central Luzon, ngunit asahan pa rin ang mga pag-ulan at localized thunderstorms lalo na sa hapon o gabi.

Mayroon ding bagyong binabantayan sa labas ng Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) na may international name na “Nakri”, huling namataan sa layong 1,105 km silangan ng dulong hilagang bahagi ng Luzon. Kumikilos ito pakanluran-hilagang-kanluran (northwestward) sa bilis na 25 km/h at posibleng pumasok ng PAR sa mga susunod na araw. Kapag ito ay pumasok, papangalanan itong “ ” sa lokal na pagtatalaga ng PAGASA.

Sa kasalukuyan, wala pa itong direktang epekto sa bansa, ngunit pinapayuhan ang publiko na manatiling alerto sa mga susunod na abiso ng PAGASA para sa posibleng pagbabago sa lagay ng panahon.

Mas inklusibong polisiya sa mental health, layuning isulong ng Project Stigma.

Ang project stigma ay isang private-public initiative na tumutulong sa pagpapalaganap ng kamalayan hinggil sa mental health.

Sinusulong din nito ang access sa mental health services lalo na sa mga komunidad na hindi karaniwang naaabot ng mga serbisyo ng mental health.

Ayon sa isang pag-aaral, tinatayang nasa pagitan ng 7-milyon hanggang 12.5-milyong Pilipino ang diagnosed na mayroong mental health condition.

Your children, your friends, your co-parents — they might be silently carrying a heavy load, just waiting for someone to listen.

One simple conversation, one act of care, can save a life.

Everybody faces problems, no one is spared. But God reminds us: do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has its own challenges, and yet, this too shall pass.

Trust Him, let go of the weight, and rest in the truth that God is in CONTROL. 🙏
