Mental Health Month is finally here!
IDONTMIND’s mission has always been to inspire open and honest conversations about mental health. It’s more important than ever to stay open and honest about how we’re feeling, to encourage each other, and lift each other up.
Not only is Mental Health Month a time to bring attention to our cause, it’s also a time to celebrate YOU! To each and every one of you who has chosen to say “IDONTMIND talking about my mental health” – thank you. Thank you for checking in on the people you love, thank you for prioritizing your mind, and thank you for saying IDONTMIND. Not only is it good for your mental health, but it also encourages other people to do the same.
As always, your mind matters. Talk about it.

No one should have to go through life alone. Sometimes you need someone to lend an ear, celebrate a big win, or offer some words of encouragement. And we’re always on the side of asking for help when you need it.
But is there such a thing as asking for too much support? How do you know if you’re being emotionally dependent on someone else? What can you do to stop it?
If your emotional wellbeing feels like it’s tied to someone else (maybe you even refer to them as your “emotional support partner/friend”), it might be time to reevaluate your relationship and work on your coping skills. Here’s everything you need to know about emotional dependency.

Everyone experiences rejection in their lives, and everyone copes with it in different ways. But for some people, rejection feels like it’s everywhere, and it becomes unbearable to deal with. A honk from the car behind you, a teacher’s feedback on your essay, or a change in your friend’s tone can all feel like personal attacks.
If your mistakes feel excruciating, and you assume that people dislike you until proven otherwise, you may be struggling with rejection sensitivity.
Here’s what you need to know about rejection sensitivity — including steps you can take to help manage your fear and accept rejection in a healthy way.
