Mental Health...
When you suffer from mental health issues no one can actually see how much your suffering and can actually be invisible. People try so hard to understand it but it's so complicated. Some of the simplest tasks can be extremely difficult for someone with mental health problems such as just getting out of bed in the morning. For someone without mental health issues this is a simple task but when you suffer from mental health you don't want to get out of bed and eventually you have to force yourself to get out of bed, just get on with your day and pretend that everything's okay with that fake smile on your face when in fact your dying inside.
We all wish that our mental health would go on vacation and just let us live a normal life just for a little while but no, mental health is there 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
If your struggling with your mental health talk to someone you trust. You never know how much of an impact this can have on you
💜 Don't suffer in silence, silence is one of the biggest killers

I know this is being technical about English and I get what you mean but how you've worded it makes it sound as though "mental health" were not a good thing instead of a measure between illness and wellness, whereas the lack of mental health would be displaced by mental illness. I hope you see the difference of those terms because I think part of stigma can arrise when people think of "mental health" resources in negative terms instead of positive ones.
(Also I'm not suggesting that things like depression are easily changed by "positive thinking" like an on/off switch because it's very much more complicated than that and I've been struggling with depression specifically too.)
