Removing the Masks

It's OK to be not OK.

I don't always have to be "fine".

I can still be strong if I'm hurt.

But...

I can't help anyone else until I make sure I am helping myself.

"Put the oxygen mask on yourself before you help others or you will be useless."

If I numb the pain, ignore the pain, suppress the pain, I will not get better.

The pain may go away for now, but it will grow and cause even more problems.
