35 Mental Health Quotes To Remind You Of Your Strength, Courage And Ability At All Times

From May 10-16, the UK will be marking Mental Health Awareness Week 2021.

While the world is still in the grips of a global pandemic which separates many of us from our families and friends, exacerbates existing anxieties and fears about the world around us and refuses to provide us with certainties, perhaps this day of awareness in 2021 has never been more crucial.

For anyone experiencing mental health struggles, there is a multitude of resources online (Mind, Mental Health Foundation, to name a couple) and, as always, do not be afraid to visit your GP or reach out for therapy if you notice your mental state and outlook deteriorating.

If you've taken the steps to get support and help, keep going. One tool you might find useful is by who you follow on Instagram. While Instagram and social media do not always go hand-in-hand with positive mental health, it can also be used as a hub for mental health quotes, advice and tips.

If the number of followers Matt Haig, author of Reasons To Stay Alive, poet Charly Cox and the amazing fundraising work Black Minds Matter UK managed to achieve are anything to go by, it can show how much people value practical tips, reassuring quotes and words of encouragement when taking those steps to overcome mental illness.

These are some of our favourite mental health quotes that are sure to remind you of your own strength.
