What is Mental health?

 

                 
       

With the Coronavirus, lockdown can have a huge effect on people’s lives one way or another in different ways. It is okay not to be okay, never feel alone. Although most of us have the internet not everyone is for whatever reason. Although we can go out lockdown rules are hard to understand to most people and most people worry about breaking them. Help is not focused on anyone but do not be afraid to speak up either if you wish to. Whether online or not that does not necessarily mean you do not feel alone.

Mental health is the emotional well – being of how we think, how we feel, and behave no matter how life is. It can be misunderstood as being ungrateful to life, which is not the case. Someone can have everything to nothing it the world but if they face mental health, they feel how they feel at any time but no necessary all the while. People can face emotional issues such as the deaths of people they know to relationship break ups, but people can feel down, anxious, or and both with and without a reason.

 The most common mental health problems are Anxiety and Depression, which can be linked to other problems, disabilities, or and on their own. Anxiety is a feeling of feeling anxious, angry ever fearful, sense of panic, stress, etc but not necessary all at once.

The clocks went back on Sunday 25^th October 2020, which means we are facing dark early morning and early dark late afternoons heading to evening then night, this means Autumn is slowly drawing to winter, which doesn’t help in how we feel in ourselves either as well as the Coronavirus lockdown. The Coronavirus lockdown rules have limited socializing, even though the pubs have been back open since July, which means doesn’t help everyone’s mental health, no one can force people to get help, it is okay not to be okay, please don’t stuff alone, please be there for one another as much as you can when you can. Everyone faces things different so except anything off anyone, different people want and do not want things in different ways.

 It could one, some, or and all of those feelings. Depression is a feeling of sadness. Anxiety and Depression are something that just comes on at any time with or without a reason but not always the case as each person faces it in different ways. This may or may not be the case with other mental health problems, illnesses issues, etc. Lockdown or no lockdown never suffer alone. https://www.rethink.org/   https://youngminds.org.uk/  https://www.together-uk.org/  https://www.mind.org.uk/

Early Warning Signs

Not sure if you or someone you know is living with mental health problems? Experiencing one or more of the following feelings or behaviors can be an early warning sign of a problem:

·         Eating or sleeping too much or too little

·         Pulling away from people and usual activities

·         Having low or no energy

·         Feeling numb or like nothing matters

·         Having unexplained aches and pains

·         Feeling helpless or hopeless

·         Smoking, drinking or using drugs more than usual

·         Hearing voices or believing things that are not true

·         Thinking of harming yourself or others

·         Inability to perform daily tasks like taking care of your kids or getting to work or school

What are your examples?

 

Without the right help and support, this can cause person’s life in the terms of getting along with people, which can affect friendships, relationship, families, even how they get along with people in their careers, etc. How can you learn to support this? Here are some examples, counseling, emotional support, medication, therapy, etc. What are your examples?

How can you help the person to help themselves? My examples are encouraging, empowering the person to do things they enjoy, careers, hobbies, interests, arts crafts, exercise, etc.  These things may not help everyone. What the answer is, it depends on the person what they are facing and how it is affecting them, etc, but they need to do their bit in different ways of helping themselves. What are your examples?  

 

 The danger can be, not everyone but some people tend to think help comes out of the sky, which I know can be hard when it comes to mental health but all the same, they need to be encouraged to help themselves as well as help from you. However,’ yes mental health can be serious as the stress of every day, etc can get on top of people so much to a point they feel a buddle burst if they try to cope completely alone  for too long and can be a huge risk of suicide etc, which is really concerning but never forus help on someone etc, it is down to them to decide on that themselves. On the other hand, some people not all more help they get the more they except so be prepared to accept anything off different sorts of people.  However, never judge a person or cause sigma, etc, listen to them with empathy put yourself in the person’s shoes before knowing how to help etc, which could be suggesting help the  service you work for could have or elsewhere etc and it’s down to the person’s choice whether it happens or not. However, always follow the rules, laws, etc to the service, etc you work for.
