queens x mental health
This week, we've looked into ways to take care of our mental health, critiqued our own ideas about self-care, talked about body positivity, and asked ourselves: do we really want to be Rory Gilmore?
In closing out our Mental Health Week, we asked you: what helps your mental health? What works for you? Everyone's experiences with their own mental health are their own, but in sharing what works (and what didn't) for us, it's our hope that we can get you thinking about how to best take care of yourself.
