How can we feel better when we're going through a hard time with our mental health? Award winning author & Psychotherapist Anna Mathur gives us some good ideas. 

She says it's important to accept our feelings, even the ones that seem bad. We shouldn't judge ourselves for how we feel. Instead, we should be kind to ourselves and get support from people we trust. 

Anna explains that grief has ups and downs, and we can feel happy and sad at the same time. By setting boundaries and taking care of ourselves, we can get through these difficult times. Her advice is to go easy on ourselves and take breaks when we need to. Sharing our stories and supporting each other can also help us heal.
