The Rooms in Our Head: Mental Health is Grey

Mental health isn’t a switch.

It's not black and white.

Or good and bad.

It's somewhere in between and beyond.

It's grey.

It’s a house with many rooms—each with its own weather.


I had written a lot about Mental Health before. You can find the collection of all such articles below:

What “room” are you in today—and what would make it easier to breathe there?

When did a trigger become a teacher for you, and what changed afterward?
