Lorna's story: It's okay not to be okay

“It’s okay not to be okay” is a powerful phrase that reminds us that it’s natural and normal to experience a range of emotions and struggles in life. It’s important to remember that we all face challenges and setbacks at some point, and that it’s okay to not always be at our best.

Accepting our current state of mind and emotions can be an important step towards improving our mental well-being. When we try to suppress or ignore negative feelings, we can end up feeling even worse and may even experience physical symptoms like headaches or fatigue. On the other hand, acknowledging and accepting our emotions can help us process them in a healthy way.

It’s also important to remember that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. If you’re struggling with your mental health, there are many resources available to you, including therapy, support groups, and hotlines. You don’t have to go through it alone. Click “Chat with us” on the page, and we will have dedicated volunteers, who are also migrant domestic workers, here to provide listening and support to you.

So, the next time you’re feeling down or overwhelmed, remember that it’s okay not to be okay. Accepting your feelings and seeking help if you need it can be an important step towards improving your mental well-being.
