Mental health is something that is almost laughed at and has been treated poorly through out history. The insane asylums were pretty scary. A person's mental health impacts everything they do. The saying "misery loves company" comes from somewhere. This idea that a person (normally a guy) shouldn't show their emotions is crazy and pretty unhealthy. We should be talking about things more, but we need to do that as adults. This means sitting down and actually listening to each other not listening to respond, and what I mean by that is very important. When you are talking to someone who you disagree with do you really hear them? Or do you stop listening once they say something offends you and are just waiting to fire back a response? More than likely you are doing the second, we all do. Humans are passionate beings but sometimes we let that passion override out thoughts and our capacity to think logically. Controlling our emotions and more importantly understanding them is something very important. You know that one thing that really bothers you and is eating away at your soul but you say nothing about? That isn't healthy and I know we don't like conflict but holding the conflict within ourselves is just as bad. If you don't know why something is eating you up inside take the time to figure it out. I can't tell you the way to do this because for everyone it is different and what bothers them is different, but if there is someone hurting you and they don't know they are doing that it is probably time to tell them. The other thing about this is, is what your feeling really important or are you making a bigger deal out of something because of something else? A lot of times our past can come back to haunt us especially if we've had traumatic experiences that doesn't mean that the situation in the present is really that bad, but it is easy to get worked up over nothing because of this. For example, I had a lot of shit happen when I was in high school and for a long time I let those experiences haunt me to the point that I was putting them on my boyfriend. I would get upset over nothing, over some misconception I created in my brain, instead of just asking him why he did something or talking to him and saying "can you please not do this because ect..." and it wasn't healthy. So, as some advice if you are upset about something first ask the person who is making you upset why they did something and you might often find that there was nothing to be upset about in the first place. If you do have real reason to be upset talk to the person but do it when you are calm going into a screaming/crying match isn't going to help anything. It is okay to talk to people if they are doing something that bothers you, but don't expect everyone to change because they are doing something you don't like. In some instance you may have to accept that people are going to do things you don't like and that is up to you to control how you feel about that. Closing thoughts, if you do nothing to change you situation nothing will change. So if you want something to be better you have to take the time to change it, and is important that you do so. If you want something you have to go and do the work to get it, mental health included. You will have to be alone with you so much sure you like who you are.
