Self-Care in Times of Struggle: You Are Not Alone

Living in a country where mental health is still seen as a luxury is difficult. It can be even harder for students who are dealing with mental health issues. The current situation in Ethiopia, with economic inflation, peace instability, and other issues, can be hard to cope with. But you’re not alone.

It can be hard to find the right resources, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But there are always people who are here to help. Reach out to your family and friends, and find a counselor if you can. Talking to someone can make a huge difference in how you’re feeling.

It’s perfectly natural to feel overwhelmed and scared sometimes. But don’t forget to practice self-care. Take a break from the news and social media, and do something that makes you feel good. Take a walk, call a friend, or watch a movie. Spend some time outdoors and connect with nature.

Remember that you’re not alone in this. There are many people who are feeling the same way, and who understand what you’re going through. Join online forums or communities, and talk to people who are in similar situations. It can be easier to talk to a stranger than someone you know, and it can be comforting to know that you’re not alone.

Take your time and be kind to yourself. You don’t have to have all the answers right away, and you don’t have to put pressure on yourself to solve the world’s problems. You’re allowed to take a break, and focus on what’s important to you.
