Write To Spread #mentalhealthawareness

Hello Hivers..
Today I will continue sharing about how do we improve our mental health. Why I keep on sharing about mental health in my blog?

Because it is something that I have experienced. Before, I didn't take care of my mental health enough. I didn't know how important is. I only focused on my physical health. Until I experienced the mental illness and understand how difficult the recovery is. That's why, I want to share about this so there will be more people become aware about mental health and they don't need to suffer like me.
