Cleopatra the Queen of Denial. First thing I thought of was the Pam Tillis song.

“Just call me Cleopatra, everybody,
‘Cause I’m the Queen of Denial.

Denial~ Suppressing or denying your problems

Denial may work to a degree but it is not a long term solution

Denying signals from your body that you are overdoing it or not taking care of it ends up only doing more harm to your wellbeing. If you don’t take care of yourself you can’t help others.

Arrow sign with the word Denial

Those with chronic or invisible illnesses know this serious need to listen to their body’s signals.

Mental health denial~ Denying the existence of mental illness is only damaging to others (and yourself)  denial of treatment prolongs illness.
