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.
