When life is good for us a lot and quite often more so than when it is bad, that is good mental health. Good Mental health help us make good choices in our lives such as eating healthy exercise and may help us get good sleep. Good times could be that they have a lot of friends, in a happy relationship, having a good career for example. If that stops and changes for any reason, it’s always the case but depending on the person and many other things, it may affect but also may depend how badly it does affect them.
However,’ this may vary if we disabilities and mental illness. When life is not good most people may eat, drink etc too much, face eating disorders, putting or losing too much weight, addictions, such as smoking, drugs etc, have money problems, lose their job, home and more.
When life goes bad for us a lot and often, that is concern for mental ill – health. However,’ Mental illness know as mental ill health can affect different people different ways, where for most people can feel negative without a reason as well as with, it is hard for them to understand why let alone anyone else. This is all to do with how we may feel inside, in our mood etc.
Plus, most disabilities, health problems and more can cause sleeping problems, where most people may struggle get to sleep when they probably should and many other reasons too, this may not make them feel good the day ahead.
However,’ these days compared to the past there are some medications, treatments and more, it is hard to know for sure because there are so but some may cause side – affects.
Not everyone sadly is good at opening or and some may not want to, they may feel how their life is, is no one else’s business, they may worry about putting on others, they feel they are only certain people they can talk to, some may feel comfortable talking to those they know others those they don’t know strange as it may sound, what does make sense is that there are people who feel better if they talk to those who they can trust.
It used to be when I was young that girls, women than men, boys were better at opening than boys and men. In many ways maybe that is still the but in others that is starting to may be change and improve. Even before I was a teenager, I heard people say boys and men do not cry, even though I do not ever saw a male cry unless he was a baby, I still believed it was possible for anyone to cry. I just thought males cried in private, which may have been the case. Looking back on that now, I think I believe society back then did not want either of us to be open really, attitudes back then was just get on with life.
Thinking about without saying life was tough on women and girls than it was on men or the other way round for example; they made it look like boys; men were the stronger ones and girls; women were the weak ones. Yet when I was a kid I could not make it out. I had some adult say boys’ men are not mentally strong but physically, whereas girls, women are not physically strong but mentally. Where females can get emotions out more so than males. Those attitudes looking back may have got males misunderstood to have no feelings etc and it was not Manley for males to cry in front of people, which I did not then, and I do not now think that was fair. I think we all have as much right as one another but I also think it is up to individuals whether they want to open up or not but to bear in mind nothing goes away or gets better if you do not open up to someone. What are your thoughts?
It is too easy to think of the world as black and white, which is not the case.
I will be honest to say that Mental illness is serious and be dangerous if not taken seriously but if take care of in the right care, support and person themselves, I would be wrong to say that.
a person’s life would be perfect, but it can be manageable.
The reason I say this is because I have come across some people to think of people who face mental illness to think of them never happy, never positive.
Always sad always negative, which is not the case. They go through many downtimes but that is not or not necessary all the time. We all go through time we feel down at times but when it happens more than necessary there is a concern.
There is good mental health and bad mental health. For most of us this can vary and go through stages. No one or should I say most of us dose not want to make others unhappy, but no one want, or should I say most of us do not want to think of someone suffering alone either, which is a hard line to draw.
It is very easy to take feelings for granite, I have just said about it being easy to think of people facing illness as never feeling good about oneself but also it is too easy, for example think of someone you see always laughing, joking etc. as if they are never unhappy but that is not necessarily true, which is another hard line to draw.
In fact, I guess most people who appear to be mostly happy struggle to show the opposite to others or only to those who may feel comfortable doing so, if at all.
For example; famous comics on tv etc. Believe it or not don’t get me wrong I say this but of course I believe a lot those who have their emotions I do believe them to be struggling but also a lot of those who do not. Either way does not give us the right to judge because everyone has different ways of dealing with whatever they may be facing.
Next up, difference the same if any between mental health and mental illness.
These two differences I
thinks are rather simple least I think so. we cannot be happy all the time and we can’t be sad all the time.https://www.heretohelp.bc.ca/q-and-a/whats-the-difference-between-mental-health-and-mental-illness
Don’t get me wrong it doesn’t mean we all face Mental illness, but we all go through length of time of spells of happiness and sadness, meaning mental health is positive for us if or when we have a spell happiness for a certain length, if or and when a spell of sadness for a certain length of time.
It is not always the case that something is bothering us; in some of us, we can go through spells of feeling negative for no reason, whichever way should not be judged.
It all comes down to how we think,
feel, behave, react and even interact.
etc. to life around us.

if it is negative, there is something.
that is bothering us, like money problems,
full outs, break ups with those know,
death of those we know, bullying,

Just to get one thing straight, as confusing as it may sound. A Counselling qualification may mean all sorts of things. Not necessarily a professional Counsellor. It may mean Counselor a school, Hospital etc. Where you may listen to people one to one who may have faced such emotional issues as bullying, abuse, death of someone they know, an animal and more issues.
Most Counselling qualifications do necessary help you to completely solve the whole problem, but you may solve the basic of the problem or and them enough help to a point the problem may not increase. However,’ this may vary depending on the person, the problem they are facing and the ex-scream of the problem. It may be something you may be able to solve, or you may need to sign post them elsewhere. It also depends on little or how much the person may be able to help themselves if at all. The reason I mention this is, I have done two counselling courses one I failed the other I passed. On the course I failed, one student asked the tutor if he will be a professional when he has done the course, she said no. He said “I don’t understand, how is that? She said it just trained you to help you help with the basics of the client’s problem, depending on the person and problem. https://www.mencap.org.uk/easyread/big-learning-disability-survey-findings-mental-health
