🧠 This October we pause to prioritise what matters most - our mental wellbeing.
Mental Health Awareness Month 2025 is a reminder that it is okay not to be okay and that seeking help is a sign of strength not weakness.
Let us speak up, support one another and build a more compassionate South Africa together!

💧We are not islands of sadness. We are an archipelago of souls, connected by the same emotional tides.

When you see another's tears, don't look away. In those drops lies a piece of your own humanity. Acknowledging them is the first step toward no longer feeling alone.

“When ‘Good Vibes Only’ Feels Like Gaslighting: Toxic Positivity & Mental Health Awareness”

“Feeling off but can’t name it? That forced smile might be a red flag. Toxic positivity is real—and it’s gaslighting your mental health.”

Lead With Your Heart
Sometimes the worst things happen and there’s no deeper reason. No lesson to be learned. No cosmic path that made the pain “worth it.” They just happened, and they shouldn’t have.

In this comic, Luna listens to three different people share real, painful experiences: struggling to find work, surviving abuse, and living with trauma. Then someone tries to wrap it all up with, “Everything happens for a reason.” It’s meant to comfort, but more often than not, it comforts the speaker, not the person hurting. It’s a way to soften the discomfort of witnessing someone’s pain, especially if you’ve never faced it—or even if you have and haven’t fully allowed yourself to feel it. But denying the weight of trauma, yours or someone else’s, isn’t healing. It’s erasure.

If you’ve ever been told your pain made you stronger when you just needed someone to say, “I believe you,” this comic is for you. You’re not stronger because of what happened—you’re stronger in spite of it. And you deserved better in the first place.

Let people heal without forcing a silver lining.

Have you ever been told “everything happens for a reason” after something awful? How did it make you feel? Let it out in the comments—we’re listening.

If the news is upsetting you, making you afraid, aggravating your mental illnesses: Close out the news. Take a step back, talk to someone who can help you make sense of it all. People fight harder & influence greater when they are okay. 😌 #USPolitics #latestnews #mentalhealth #itsokaynottobeokay
I am by no means interested in today's events. That's largely why I so very much want to #stream this afternoon. I want to make my stream a place of respite for those of us who are anxious, annoyed, or fed up today. :3 #streamer #twitch #twitchstreamer #mentalhealth #itsokaynottobeokay
