Emotion health is just as important as physical.

People forget about this. It was one of the first things my therapist told me to do.
I'm convinced the world is fukked up because of the lack of care for emotional health.
It's bittersweet when you're an empath because you're always needed to help with emotional wounds of friends/families.

Emotional health is very important. Emotional health and physical health go hand and hand. If one is lacking then you are not complete.
I went to a psychotherapist for a couple of years after my daughter passed because I was hurting much more than I knew.
She helped me sort out things that had been hurting me for years, but I never realize it because I was taught to suck it up and put on my happy face.
It was so freeing to be able to let all of that pain go. I was journaling and I need to get back to that.
