The month of May is dedicated to mental health Awareness since 1949. I imagine the day when taking care of our mental health is a part of our life just like brushing our teeth, so that we do not need a month to remind us of self-help.
And before that day comes, self-care is still a luxury for many. Like the mother who believes her family's needs come first, the breadwinner struggling to make ends meet, the kid trying to meet the parents' expectation and the teenager trying to fit in. Unfortunately, any of us can be struggling with mental problems.
Self-care and self-love shouldn't be something we constantly feel guilty about. I first created the cute comics of the little fox and furry friends on Instagram to remind and encourage myself. Little did I expect that more and more people found these cartoon drawings uplifting and resonating.
I hope these animal comics do the same magic to you as they do for me.

The hypocrisy of believing talking makes a difference when you are surrounded by legged walls is the same that puts stupid numbers with a robotic reply telling lies in bridges while putting fences in buildings for "employees" to jump. The illness is this hypocrisy. This negligence carefully monetized to look like normality while being purely profit based interest and ignorance

It took me many years to understand that sometimes people don't want to hear the "fix" to their problems. They just want to know you are there.

I wish I could have gotten through to my sister-in-law about this message. She thought if she took care of herself that she was taking away from her children. She had diabeties and died at age 55.

With work and everything, most of the time I‘m simply exhausted. Neither happy nor unhappy, just exhausted.

A friend would always say they just wanted to be happy to have a happy life but life isn't happy. We shouldn't strive to be "happy". We should strive to be content. Happiness is found in moments and hopefully happy moments and moments of joy outweigh any others.

Anyone who's happy ALL the time is either callous or delusional - I strive to be appropriate, which sometimes means angry or sad. But it also includes happy.

When my father was serving in WWII he would always eat his whole chocolate ration as soon as he got it, because you never knew if the next mission was the one you didn't come back from.

Everyone I'm so sorry if I offended anyone? I just don't understand why my comment was downvoted so much, I'm really not being sarcastic or anything. I love these comics and they have such important messages, everyone should see these. But I'd be thankful if someone could please explain what I did wrong?

Is it just me: whenever I say something negatively about myself and someone says it's not true it never helps, because it feels as if they are lying, it helps a little if they say they think it's false because I want to know what other people think, but I don't want it to feel like they said it just because they're my friend and feel they have to. It really helps when someone doesn't tell me it's false, but adds positive things to it, like in this image.

When you say something negative about yourself the only proper reply is the truth, whatever that truth is. Sometimes deep down we're looking to be called out and we need to hear it from someone else that we need to get our s**t together. A friend will tell you what they think you want to hear, a real friend will tell you what you need to hear.

Wow I guess it's a pun. People who can't fall asleep usually count sheep in their minds. These are sheep so they would count themselves, but "make yourself count" can also mean "make yourself important". So yeah, I'm not native speaker so it can be I'm wrong.
