Mental Health Awareness
We’re all different. We all have flaws and that is what makes us perfectly imperfect. Whatever you are feeling is valid but not necessarily healthy and that is why it is important to acknowledge mental health. A thing only those who have been there find the courage and necessity to talk about. Sadly, most of us finds it boring to read, listen or even talk about and that’s exactly what makes it so difficult to understand that lack of awareness of mental health is not just ‘their’ problem, its ours.
The most important sign of taking care of your mental health is the fact
that nothing has to be “wrong’ with you. There is no wrong time, reason or
explanation if however it is inappropriate to ignore what you feel and how you
feel. Depression and anxiety along with other mental health concerns affects so
many people every day. They say one out of every four is affected by something
regarding mental health in their lifetime, so many people struggle in silence
and that is exactly why we need to normalize the talk about mental health.
People think mental health is something that should be kept super
private and find it embarrassing for anybody to know how they feel and that makes
it difficult to cope up.
The first and the only step to come out of this vicious cycle is that
you feel you need help. Never be afraid to reach out, remember help is always
there and help need not to be a medicine. It can be Therapy, a friend, a hobby
or a pet. Help is always there and seeking it is the biggest task. You just
have to believe that it is important to take care of your mental health as much
as you take care of your physical health.
Every second when you feel low or depressed, remember that the next one
is going to be better. Smile, do things that you love or just do anything other
than what you were doing previously. Just remember one-step at a time. One foot
in front of the other. It isn’t easy to stay positive when negativity surrounds
you but this is life. If it can bring you down it can also take you up to the
highest. Everything changes and the things bothering you in your head will have
to leave.
It takes a hell lot of courage, tons of efforts and uncountable little
attempts to fight with your own mind and overcome those traumatic feelings and
experiences. So please be kind to everyone around you.
