Re: Mental Health Awarness Month

@Sati_Sati Whether we realize it or not, we all know someone who require mental health care to some degree or another. I have an anxiety disorder, fortunately I have had access to great care and treatment, which has been life changing. Thus I make donations to foundations that provide access to treatment and care to those who don't have access to it, I hope my small donations can help others find treatment. Treatment and care can be absolutely life changing for those who need it. It can allow them to build healthy relationships with people again, experience joy again, find work and so many other things.

I have numerous friends and family who have dealt with varying degrees of mental illness.

@B3ntar Agreed, it would be a brilliant badge to have, my younger brother is also autistic.
@Lord_Scorpion34 Thanks for explaining that, I was also confused when the stop asian hate badge sprung up. In the UK its not really much of an issue either.

@Lord_Scorpion34 I was shocked that there were a lot of violent reactions against the BLM and stop asian badge here in the forums. I was not aware that supporting abused communities in the USA was something political? I know that Japanese people has some sort xenophobia (especially the older citizens) and some Filipinos are racists but not as a big of an issue compared to the States.

@Cheese9Man There is always some sort of hate everywhere. Either racial or religious. In USA it's worse because it's both.

People will blame Asians for virus, but then the same people will go on to hold church gatherings. Like bruh? I am not from USA, but that's what it looks like to me.
