Feeling off but can’t name it? That forced smile might be a red flag. Toxic positivity is real—and it’s gaslighting your mental health.

#ItsOkayNotToBeOkay
Sometimes the worst things happen and there’s no deeper reason. No lesson to be learned. No cosmic path that made the pain “worth it.” They just happened, and they shouldn’t have.
In this comic, Luna listens to three different people share real, painful experiences: struggling to find work, surviving abuse, and living with trauma. Then someone tries to wrap it all up with, “Everything happens for a reason.” It’s meant to comfort, but more often than not, it comforts the speaker, not the person hurting. It’s a way to soften the discomfort of witnessing someone’s pain, especially if you’ve never faced it—or even if you have and haven’t fully allowed yourself to feel it. But denying the weight of trauma, yours or someone else’s, isn’t healing. It’s erasure.
If you’ve ever been told your pain made you stronger when you just needed someone to say, “I believe you,” this comic is for you. You’re not stronger because of what happened—you’re stronger in spite of it. And you deserved better in the first place.
Let people heal without forcing a silver lining.
Have you ever been told “everything happens for a reason” after something awful? How did it make you feel? Let it out in the comments—we’re listening.

If the news is upsetting you, making you afraid, aggravating your mental illnesses: Close out the news. Take a step back, talk to someone who can help you make sense of it all. People fight harder & influence greater when they are okay. 😌 #USPolitics #latestnews #mentalhealth #itsokaynottobeokay
I am by no means interested in today's events. That's largely why I so very much want to #stream this afternoon. I want to make my stream a place of respite for those of us who are anxious, annoyed, or fed up today. :3 #streamer #twitch #twitchstreamer #mentalhealth #itsokaynottobeokay

@EllenInEdmonton @whoosh @jcurries I can do it! This is a #kdrama that I absolutely love and I am passionate about dissecting it 😍
I just had the impression with #ItSOkayNotToBeOkay that it was bothersome for you ladies to go through every line. Would you prefer a selected scene approach?
CBT apt went well - going to have treatment for depression (Cognitive BA) and go from there.
First steps to rebuilding my life after multiple losses the last few weeks. 🙏🏻🤍🥹🥲

As we embark on Mental Health Awareness Week, let's remind each other that it's okay to not be okay. Mental health is just as significant as physical health, and it's crucial to take care of both.
Check-in on your loved ones.
Seek help when needed.
And most importantly, remember that mental health matters.
Your mental well-being is a priority. Your happiness is essential. Your self-care is a necessity.
#MentalHealthAwareness #ItsOkayNotToBeOkay #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek
We see you. This is your reminder that it is going to be okay.

@RomanticIsa @EllenInEdmonton I read that on Wikipedia! I might be someone who buys them, if I love the drama
Finished watching #ItsOkayNotToBeOkay and was absolutely blown away. Just amazing all around. The writing, the casting, the acting, the direction, everything. Dangerously close to a perfect story.

It's a tricky time of year for a lot of people. It's cold and dark and there are so many sniffles about; basically everyone I know has been fighting something over the last few weeks. I suspect we all know that we sh...

#endofyeardramachallenge #Kdrama watching? day one: How long have I been watching? Found BTS properly April 2021. Someone told me Blackpink had a doc on Netflix, this was about July 21, watched that. Discovered Netflix was full of kdrama, watched a comedy about Idols, by Aug 21 first proper drama was #itsokaynottobeokay which I loved so much there was no stopping me & subtitles after that.
⚠️IMPORTANT⚠️
We had hoped to finish all the events that we were scheduled to attend until the end of the year but unfortunately we have had to make the hard decision to cancel all of our upcoming events for the foreseeable future.
We will of course still be taking orders on our website! We will just no longer be attending events in person 💙
