“It’s not selfish to say no. It’s not selfish to do something for yourself every now and then. It’s not selfish to need to cry. It’s not selfish to ask for help. I also tend to overschedule. I am probably going to quit a sport next year because it is affecting my mental health. Cut the negative things out of your life if you can. This is not selfish; it’s an act of self-care” (Heather, Suicide Prevention Lifeline)
