I was thinking about it the other day, … Continue reading Asking for help

If someone would ask me to describe mental health, I would most likely use the following words: sickness, vulnerability, exhaustion, sadness, pain. But recently I’ve discovered another word that I’ve never really associated with mental health before: bullying.
