Since it’s World Mental Health Day today, I thought I would share a post about mental health. As some of you may already be aware of, mental health problems are on the rise. I won’t say anything specific is to blame because I believe it’s the mixture of multiple things that is causing this. Personally, I’ve been diagnosed with depression and an anxiety disorder. I’ve had both for so long that I don’t really remember what life was like before.
I’ve learned so many things having lived with both disorders and I have shared a lot of advice on this blog already. But there is one thing I want to share today that I have really come to realise and understand. And that is the fact that there is always hope. So many people end their life and give up because they lose hope. If you’re struggling please know that it does get better. I’ve been there, I’ve been at lower points in life than I thought possible. But those moments don’t have to define you or your entire life.
If you’re struggling, get professional help. If you’re not able to do so for whatever reason, speak to someone you trust. Or use online resources. Just don’t give up. Life is a precious gift and there’s so much more to it than the difficult moments our minds sometimes fixate on.
On World Mental Health Day, I hope you remember to practice kindness, compassion and empathy because you never know what someone has been through or are going through.
