I’ve been a #mentalhealth advocate since 2012, b I’ve been a #mentalhealth advocate since 2012, back when it was more difficult and there were only a few loud voices fighting for it. When my girls @missvalerietan and @dorischeong_ asked me to lead a mental health talk for #GirlTalkPH, I kept saying, “Let’s save it for a rainy day.” Well, the rain has come. ☔️ It’s been over a year since the longest lockdown in the world (Hello, Philippines!) was announced, and we’re all still here, struggling with our country’s issues on top of our own personal issues in the pandemic. Does being stuck in quarantine magnify your internal conflicts? You’re not alone. Let’s talk tomorrow, April 28, Wednesday, 9pm at fb.com/phgirltalk. I have a lot to say about mental health, and I’m also going to listen. Join me and the girls. 💙; As always, we’re giving out a prize to one interactive viewer. Swipe to see the self-care set from our sponsors, @skin.revolution and #SageCandles and visit @phgirltalk to see the prize mechanics. #mh #mentalhealthPH #mentalhealthadvocate #skinrevolution #skinrevolutionPH #mentalhealthmatters
