Once again, this year, MyGolfSpy takes a week off in the name of mental health. More and more companies feature a similar policy to give employees time to rest, recover and feel mentally healthy.
For years, speaking up about mental health challenges has been taboo, even frowned upon. We’ve all experienced mental distress in one way or another. For some, it’s every day. Others experience it occasionally.
The first time I remember feeling anxiety was when I was 11. Each night, I was overcome with anxiety and a feeling that something horrible was about to happen. This continued for years before I put a name to it.
Nearly 15 years later, I still deal with some of those same feelings. Often on a daily basis.
You’re not alone. You’re not the only one struggling. You’re definitely not the first nor the last to experience mental health challenges. Uplift those around you and be a light in their world that often seems a little dim. You never know what someone is going through.
