🧠 How’s your mental health doing? 🧠
In today’s fast-paced and stressful world, it’s more important than ever to prioritize our mental health. The demands of work, relationships, and other responsibilities can take a toll on our overall well-being. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or just not like yourself, it may be time to take a step back and reevaluate your mental health.
Why is Mental Health Important?
– Mental health affects every aspect of our lives, from our relationships to our physical health.
– It can impact our ability to work, think clearly, and function in our daily lives.
– Neglecting our mental health can lead to long-term issues such as depression, anxiety, and even physical health problems.
Signs of Poor Mental Health
– Feeling constantly overwhelmed or stressed
– Changes in sleep patterns (insomnia or oversleeping)
– Loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed
– Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
– Irritability or mood swings
How to Improve Your Mental Health
1. Practice self-care: Make time for activities that bring you joy and relaxation, whether it’s reading a book, talking a walk, or spending time with loved ones.
2. Exercise regularly: Physical activity releases endorphins that can improve your mood and reduce stress.
3. Prioritize sleep: Getting enough quality sleep is crucial for mental health.
4. Practice mindfulness: Mindfulness techniques such as meditation and deep breathing can help you stay present and calm.
5. Seek professional help: If you’re struggling with your mental health, don’t hesitate to reach out to a therapist or counselor for support.
The Importance of Seeking Help
If you’re struggling with your mental health, it’s important to seek help. Talking to a therapist or counselor can provide you with the tools and support you need to navigate your mental health challenges. Don’t be afraid to ask for help – taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of your physical health.
In conclusion, taking care of your mental health should be a top priority. By recognizing the signs of poor mental health and taking proactive steps to improve it, you can lead a happier and more fulfilling life. Remember, it’s okay to ask for help and support when you need it. Your mental health matters.

I’m struggling hard. If it wasn’t for my kids….
But I won’t leave them. I may suck at life. May suck at being a mom, but I’m here. I’ll be on the sidelines and in the stands to cheer for them every chance I get.
Thanks for asking. Spouse died of suicide 4 weeks and 4 days ago. Did not know his mental state was that dark. Tried to reach him and get him help for what we thought was less serious depression and stress. He had a plan, wouldn’t look back, went missing the morning of Feb. 1 and was alive when we were calling and pleading and trying to find him. Everyone else who is saying they’re not doing great, I wish help for you. Please reach out for it and don’t reject help. We have kids. I now know that I’m not in that checked out state even if I’m devastated and tortured. I have seen people resume or start their lives over so I know it’s possible.
Just mental. No health.
I’m constantly thinking about suicide, shirking away in my room avoiding responsibilities and loved ones, amd drinking myself to death.
I hate myself and always have, and as time goes on I hate everyone else even more.
I’m bitter, cold, resentful, and anxious; and not a day goes by that I don’t wish to be someone else somewhere else.
I want to fucking kill myself.
Other than that, I’m good.
Lol. Have been severely depressed lately. A new guy started working at my job. I thought he was cool and decided, uncharacteristically, to reach out and try to actually hang out with somebody for a change in my otherwise completely isolated, unsocial lifestyle. After a week of beating around the bush and making excuses and changing his story, he finally told me he didn’t want to hang out. We live in 2024 so no one admits to homophobia but it’s funny how he was all “oh yeah bro we should hang out right now!” until I told him I was gay (specifically so he wouldn’t hear it from someone else and incorrectly assume I was trying to get romantic with him.)
TL;DR – Depressed antisocial gay dude finally worked up the courage to make a friend and was ditched due to homophobia. I’m actually trying to distract myself to avoid spiraling at the moment.
I’ve unfriended my mental health. 🤷🏻♂️
Every day is one day at a time.
I’m trying to manage my rumination and intrusive thoughts. Also trying to practice mindfulness and self love, self compassion, and self forgiveness.
Also (lol) doing some shadow work too to help heal my inner child wounds. I’m hoping this will all pay off down the line…
BWAHAHAHAAHHAAH…. *deep breath… AHAHAHAHAAH hee hee hoo ha hah haaaaaaa…..*
not very good rn. I’m trying really hard to push through though.
Dumpy. Job has gotten bad, cost of living has taken all of my disposable income, and I don’t know when it’s gonna get better.
Better than ever actually. I no longer crave death, my anxiety and depression are almost nonexistent anymore, I don’t have crying fits as frequently. I stopped taking my medications and going to therapy about 5 months ago but yet I somehow feel the best that I’ve felt in over a decade.
I’m still fatigued and tired, but otherwise I’m content. It’s very nice to not feel as terrible as I used to.
I take more showers now yay!
Terrible
My psychiatrist said I seemed more alive today 🙂
I’m socially isolated and so super fucking lonely, but it’s been that way for years and sometimes I worry it’ll become the only way I know *how* to be
what mental health?
Fragile
Haha, I have the current mental capacity of a fetus
I think I’m becoming depressed. Chronic pain sucks.
I am stressed out and having some anxiety.
Not great at all. I am also losing my hair.
Not… Honestly not well at all rn.
I’m struggling with a few things, no job, negative in the bank, feel like I’m not wanted. I’ve got no idea what to do.
I try not to look directly at it.
Better, thanks. How about you?
NOT GREAT MY GUY. NOT GREAT
