October 10, or 10--10, is World Mental Health Day.
From
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Mental_Health_Day :
"World Mental Health Day is an international day for global mental health education, awareness and advocacy against social stigma. It was first celebrated in 1992 at the initiative of the World Federation for Mental
Health, a global mental health organization with members and contacts in more than 150 countries.”
(I hope to soon improve the mental health of Mother Earth and many living here.)
That reminds me of the following, from
https://www.nfld.com/~dalton/sunstare.html , about my first mental
health ward hospitalization, in September 1991:
"When in the hospital, not long after coming mostly out of it with the aid of Ativan and Haldol and lithium, I wrote an "AGU Abstract" (American
Geophysical Union fall meeting Abstract) supposedly for presentation at the December fall meeting in San Francisco. It combined Gaia theory, the
collective consciousness and the theory of an intelligent cyberspace, and
said that humans could act as white blood cells in healing the physical problems of Gaia (environmental problems) and provide self-counselling strategies to heal the mental ills (social problems). This I called "SocioEnvironMental Health" or something (I have it somewhere). But my supervisor and friends gently dissuaded me from sending it in (actually by
the time I had access to mail/etc. I had no intention of submitting it)."
Also, Yom Kippur is from sunset on October 11 to nightfall on October 12.
From
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yom_Kippur :
"Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the year in Judaism. It occurs annually on the 10th of Tishrei, corresponding to a date in late September or early October. For traditional Jewish people, it is primarily centered on atonement and repentance.”
October 10 is also D-moon and October 11 is fat-D-moon. :-)
a D.
