May Is Mental Health Awareness Month — And Yes, That Includes Your Inner Chaos.

It’s Mental Health Awareness Month.Which means we’re all going to see that one quote again —

“Check on your strong friends.”And maybe even post it ourselves, before disassociating for six hours and forgetting to text anyone back.

Here’s your gentle reminder: Mental health isn’t an aesthetic. It’s a process. And if yours looks like journaling at 2am while crying into a burrito, that counts too.

🧠 Mental Health Looks Different on All of Us

Some people meditate.Some people go to therapy.Some people rewatch The Office because the predictability feels like safety.And some of us? We do shadow work.We unpack generational trauma with a side of sarcasm.We write letters we’ll never send.We track our emotional spirals and give them stars.

There’s no “right” way to tend to your mental health.But there is one truth: it deserves your attention — not just during May, but always.

💀 Enter: Shadow Work for the Emotionally Self-Aware

If you’ve ever felt like healing content doesn’t speak your language —Like, “Where’s the workbook that understands I make jokes when I’m spiraling?”You’re not alone.

That’s exactly why I created:

🖤 Healing Is My Toxic Trait – A Shadow Work Journal for Your Inner Chaos

Because sometimes healing isn’t soft lighting and green juice.Sometimes it’s screaming into a journal, writing a petty confession, and rating your coping day with a 3/5 because hey, you didn’t text your ex. Growth!

✍️ What’s Inside This Mental Health Month Must-Have:

• 60+ pages of dark humor and self-reflection prompts

• Space to unpack why you people-please, spiral, avoid, and pretend you’re fine

• Daily mood tracking and “Rate My Survival” sheets

• Petty Confession Boxes, Burn Book pages, and Shadow Work spells

• The quote:“You’re still a little messed up, but now you’re self-aware. And that’s hot.”

💌 Why This Journal Hits Different in May

Because healing in silence is still the norm for so many of us.Because mental health awareness is more than statistics and hashtags.It’s being seen. It’s naming your pain.It’s laughing through the spiral and coming out the other side a little more whole.

And if this journal can help you feel less alone — even for one page — then it’s doing its job.

💡 Your Reminder This Month (and Always):

• You don’t have to be “healed” to be worthy.

• You’re allowed to ask for help, even if you “seem fine.”

• Your coping mechanisms don’t have to be pretty. They just have to keep you here.

• Shadow work is valid. Your rage is valid. Your softness is too.

• And healing? That sh*t is messy — and we’re doing it anyway.
