It’s not difficult for everyone to tell what a mental health day is. Sometimes you can’t get out of bed. Sometimes you’re flashbacking so hard you have the capacity of a 10 year old. Sometimes someone is trying desperately to not self harm. There’s a tendency to trivialize mental health as somehow not health, I think because a lot of the time people have such trouble empathizing, as if somehow it’s not a real thing. This attitude is why so many people with mental health problems find it difficult to keep and maintain employment - so many question and trivialize any mental health problem as some inherent weakness rather than as a disease, or an injury.
