No matter where we are or how old we grow, we’ll always need people to keep us grounded and emotionally healthy. We sometimes tend to underestimate the kind of comfort other people can give us. In the mission to be independent and successful, we end up cutting off from people and that can leave us feeling lonely at times.
In today’s world with so much noise, pressure, and exposure to toxicity, it might get difficult to keep one’s mental health in check. While some people find it beneficial to visit a therapist, others may confide in their family and friends in order to stay emotionally healthy.
Speaking of which, some people took to Twitter to talk about people who are great for their mental health. It started with one user asking, “You ever met or known someone who is extremely great for your mental health?”.
You ever met or known someone who is extremely great for your mental health? Mine is my sister.
Who’s yours?

My two best friends. I always know I can talk about whatever’s bothering me with them and they’ll take the time to sit down listen and tell me off/reassure me.

Mines is @JackFRASSS it’s nothing but laughter and boss ideas with us. I can talk to him all night about how I feel and he’ll always listen. Definitely one of the best souls I’ve met. Been consistently positive since I’ve known him 10yrs ago.
