Sometimes all you can hear is the goblin horn. Sometimes Level 1 feels like Level 3. Sometimes your life force seems stuck on red. But however hard the quest gets, please remember: you're less alone than you think. #WorldMentalHealthDay #ItsOKNotToBeOK

If today is your idea of being on Level 3 without any spells, it's OK not to feel 'festive'. Put some food in your knapsack, distract yourself with a spyglass ( #JoinIn ) and please remember: you're less alone than you think.
