IS MENTAL HEALTH REALLY A THING?

In a world filled with the competition since the day you were born, you have to be a part of the day to the daily rat race in the society and if not you are deemed to be known as an outcast or failure. Though, this is not the case just because you are different from the normal working of the world does not mean you are a failure or you don’t fit in.

Just like a puzzle, everyone is different pieces which fit together and makes the whole picture, this is how the world also is, everyone is unique and it’s their uniqueness that defines them and completes the ways of the world.

Some people don’t understand that some people are more sensitive than others and claim them to be weak, it is not them who is weak to just give a person a label just because he or she is more empathetic towards others or his or her feelings.

I have noticed that parents in this world if their own child is crying and says they want to go to a councillor, they call them weak or say that going to a councillor will prove to people that you are a person who is mentally ill.

When you are physically ill people tend to show that they care but when it comes to depression or anxiety or PTSD people are scared that their children are weak or if they should be thrown into a psychotic ward.

First of all, your child or teen is undergoing a stage of depression where he or she is constantly on the verge of breakdowns or self-esteem problems and you go ahead and put him or her down by saying they are weak.

It is painful and abusive for a child, teen or adult to go through such an event.

Studies have shown that people who have been said to have pasts like these with their parents or peers tend to make more chances for mental illness and also commit suicide.

Please do try and listen, depression is not an incurable disease, it is a state of mind where you cut off from life and it feels worthless. Some people are led to paths that make them unhappy such as taking a job they do not have any interest in.

This leads to depression and robotic nature day in and day out. Doing something that you don’t love slowly yet surely kills your soul and leads you to a state of depression.

Some people are toxic but they don’t even know it, for example, a person who tells you that your weak and won’t be able to make it in life or if they keep putting you down saying you are not good enough or make you feel inferior, people who keep yelling at you or insult your appearance, a person who calls you needy or dispute your feelings in the sense never listen or understand your side of the situation.

Has any of these things happened to you?

One must understand if these kinds of people affect your mental health, to limit communications with them as soon as possible or just block them out entirely no matter how hard it is.

Mental health is important and just because some say it is isn’t doesn’t mean they are right. It is your life, your health, your body and soul find someone who can communicate to and gives you peace mentally.

People think mental health does not exactly exist cause it isn’t visible but they fail to pay attention to the harm they cause you, they fail to see through the fake smiles or the silence. It is cause they turn a blind eye to you and claim nothing is wrong with you to cause if there is then you are WEAK.

The only person who can help you out of such a situation is yourself, listen to what you need, if you just need a person to talk to, find them or contact a counsellor.

Mental abuse is not right, it kills a person inside and could lead to drastic situations.

Peers who have told their friends they are different or call them names add to this.

You have to understand it isn’t who they want you to be, it is who you want to because it’s your life.

Some people use gender as a way of mental abuse, telling a boy who is crying to stop crying like a girl or a girl who is rebellious to stop acting like a boy and grounding them. These are all forms of mental abuse and these children would grow up to be adults that mental abuse their own children because you taught them that mental abuse was a way to create some form of discipline.

No.... discipline is punctuality, it does not give you the power to punish or mentally abuse person.

Learn and understand, create awareness, even after education people tend to follow these beliefs cause their parents or other people rendered it...THE WAY THE WORLD WORKS.
