May is Mental health month.
Feeling sad on the inside but I look happy on the outside.
Eating too much, or not eating enough?
Can't fall asleep, or do I sleep too much?
What exactly is mental health? Here is what is on my mind.
These are questions that I have been asking myself since I have read up about what are the types of mental health. And being someone that has had these too often, I can say that mental health is a cry for help. We could look happy all the time, but when we are alone, we feel sad or anxiety hits us hard.
Sadly it's not only in the US, But it's all over our world, And when Covid hit that just made this even worse than it ever was. Being stuck in your home and worrying about who might get the virus and brings it to you. Sounds so much like Anxiety hitting you.
A lot of times we could feel like we can't breathe around others. We could even feel like we are drowning under all the stress from this world.
Mental health is not just something you have because of what's going on around you, it can be a mind over matter thing as well, I know some of my friends who deal with things such as Depression, Anxiety, and even Mood Disorders. Heck I had Anxiety when the State of Florida went into lock down, I was away from my friends, I am a very outgoing person and being home was not fun at all. But I can't complain that I was at home..with my Family so I had that good thing.
But Here's what I would say.
You are not on your own!
We all have our own challenges in life, But lets chose to lift others up and not bring them down. that goes with what one of my other posts said. Check it out here.

Thank you for sharing this, Rebekah. Most of us at some point in our lives will be challenged by how we feel and not be able to manage without help. Hearing your words helps.
I hope you have a good weekend.

It does help, Rebekah! Knowing I am not alone with the anxiety I feel is so important. Like you wrote about.. when there are many stressors sometimes we can feel overwhelmed. There is help all around if we open ourselves to it. It is strength to admit we need help. Right?
Hope you have a peaceful night. 💞

You took the words right out of my mouth! I have dealt with anxiety for a few weeks and i would talk to my Bestie who is dealing with Depression,I think if I talked about the good things in life to her, she would feel a bit better, sadly it hasn't worked that much so far, but i am not giving up on her.
I understand! You are very kind Rebekah. I have found that being there for your friend and listening without judgement is good medicine too. It’s all love isn’t it?
Poor mental health affects more of us at times than we would like to let on my friend.
When suffering from certain situations, its best not to bottle things up, if we can let our feelings be known to those around us then a positive outcome will be much more likely.
Thanks for sharing Rebekah and have a wonderful weekend too.
I am more of the person who will cry alone, i just don't like to show tears or even my fears around others.

Thanks, Rebekah for highlighting a topical issue: Mental Health. The lockdown merely exacerbated the problem of Mental health in our communities. With all their social relationships cut off, people receded deeper and deeper into themselves
Thank God, the restrictions are being lifted and our societies are opening up again. Hopefully, the number of cases will begin to fall.
I hope that is the case as well. Thanks for your insight
