May is Mental Health Awareness Month
(And yeah, weâre lateâbut not absent)
Weâll be honest: our launch didnât quite line up with Mental Health Awareness Month this year. But thatâs okayâbecause mental health doesnât live in a single month. And weâre not here for one-off posts or performative support. Weâre building something for the long haul.
Undelulu is almost ready. And even though May has passed, weâre stepping into this conversation because it still mattersâmaybe now more than ever.
So⌠Why May?
Mental Health Awareness Month has been observed in the U.S. since 1949. Itâs a chance to spotlight something often left in the shadows: the inner lives we all carry. The struggles, the quiet victories, the weight of just getting through the day. Itâs not about perfect wellnessâitâs about honesty, visibility, and support.
And while itâs easy to get lost in hashtags or corporate campaigns, the heart of this month is something real:
Mental health is health.
And everyone deserves care.
Whether youâre managing a diagnosis, feeling stuck in a hard season, or just learning how to be kinder to yourselfâyour experience is valid. And youâre not alone.
Where Undelulu Fits In
We built Undelulu because support should feel human. Not clinical, not cold. Just a quiet place where you can talk, write, reflect, and maybe start to feel a little more like yourself.
Weâre not therapists. But we are here. To listen. To reflect. To hold space when youâre unraveling, or when youâre trying to stitch things back together.
And while we missed the âofficialâ month, our mission is year-round:
- We believe in progress, not perfection.
- We believe you donât have to be okay to ask for support.
- We believe mental health help should be available to everyoneânot just the privileged few.
How You Can Still Show Up
Even if Mental Health Month has passed, thereâs no deadline on caring. Here are a few simple, low-pressure ways to stay in the conversation:
- Check in on yourself. Genuinely. Ask, âHow am I really doing?â and let the answer be messy.
- Reach out. A text that says âIâm thinking of youâ might mean more than you know.
- Normalize the talk. Mention therapy. Share whatâs working for you. Say âIâm not okayâ if youâre not.
- Rest. Seriously. Doing nothing is sometimes the most healing thing you can do.
And if youâre building new habits or healing old woundsâkeep going. Thereâs no timeline on growth.
Whatâs Next
Weâre launching soon (like, really soon). And weâre excited to finally give you a space that doesnât expect you to have it all together.
Until then, just know this:
Youâre allowed to feel how you feel.
Youâre allowed to need help.
Youâre allowed to start healingâeven if youâre still hurting.
We missed the calendar, but weâre not missing the moment.
Here when youâre ready,
The Undelulu Team
