Hi Mighty fam! 🩷

If you could pick an animal that represented your mental health right now (real or fictional), what would you choose? What makes that animal fit where you are right now?

For me, it would be a turtle. I've been finding myself wanting to be alone in my dark, quiet shell — my safe space — moving at my own pace.
