When I was growing up, mental health wasnโt something we talked about in my family.
If I ever felt overwhelmed or anxious, the response was always the same: โYouโll be fine.โ โDonโt think too much.โย
It wasnโt out of neglect. Itโs just how many of us were raised in Asian households. Emotions were something to keep to ourselves. Struggles were private. I just needed to work harder and it would be okay.ย
I remember getting through school and work by powering through. At that time, I didnโt know that things like burnout had a name. I didnโt know what boundaries looked like. And I certainly didnโt have tools like meditation or mindfulness in my life.ย
