*it's a very long post but please read it* Hello, everyone! How are you? Have you been taking care of yourself? So, I'll talk about something that might be a very sensible topic to many, but we must know about it. Mental health problems. What is mental health problems? The answer is simple, the problems, the sickness that effects our mind, our personality and our behavior. Depression, anxiety, stress etc. People in our country take it very lightly. As if it doesn't matter. But it matters, it matters a LOT. It effects a person's work and it's surroundings. By this a person slowly loses his willpower, loses the will to live.. He has no soul, just going through, just because he has to not because he wants to. It slowly leads a person to death. The person suffering from mental problems, can kill themselves. How does this happen? Well, I will say surroundings, life people. Now you may ask, why people? The world is full of people. Not everyone suffers. Well, they do actually. It starts from something small, suppose someone misbehaved with the person. The person who were treated badly, feels bad, but doesn't say anything. He keeps it to himself. Then those small things will turn into something big and it hurts. But how people reacts towards it? If someone tries to share, they say you're weak, you're a crybaby. Just it up. Life is like this. So the said person it up. Then, these small emotions, memories gather up and become something big. After that, it became a problem, a disease. The said person again wanted to seek help, but then the people around him said “People will think you’re insane if you go to a psychologist or a psychiatrist.” So, the said person stayed silent. The people were there to judge, to give their opinions, but they weren’t there when the said person needed to talk. One day, his family saw he killed himself. The people around him couldn’t do anything but mourn. The said person I was talking about is not someone I know. But almost all the suicide cases we see starts this way. It’s not like our friends and family doesn’t love us, but many of us don’t understand respond, we just react. We think it’s easier to give an opinion than actually understanding the situation and deal with it smartly, calmly. What do we do to not to have mental problems and help others with it? Well, the thing is, life is not a bed of roses. One must deal with problems, whether it’s big or small, whether the person is young or old. I guess that’s what makes life life. The solution is dealing with it positively, strongly. Now, I know it gets hard, you may feel like giving up, but DON’T. Just try to keep up, even if it . Life’s gonna throw challenges at you, maybe stress you so much that you’ll be depressed, you might be anxious, you might have eating disorders, you’ll have trouble sleeping. When you sense that something is wrong, talk it out. Talk it out in a primary stage. Do something which cheers you up. If you do not do anything about it, then it’ll only get worse. If it gets worse, do not delay any further and seek professional help. Seeking help is not a bad or embarrassing . it is not embarrassing to seek help for yourself. Please please please help yourself before it is too late, so late you lost the will to live, to love, to care. Also, what we should do is change our perspective. We should care about us and our loved ones not the society. Let us be kind to others, help others as much as possible because we are supposed do behave this way. Let’s be more understanding towards others. One kind action, one small speech can change someone’s life in a better way. So why not do it? Now someone may ask, why should we even bother to live? We should live because we want to because life is a precious gift. The world is beautiful. It is filled with good things. The almighty Allah is very kind and he loves us. That’s why we are blessed with many good things. Your parents worked very hard to raise you, grant you a beautiful life. Your mother carried you 9 months in her womb so that you can come into thi world and live, not because you may get depressed and kill yourself or having no soul. So everyone, let’s cherish our beautiful gift called life. If we are suffering from mental problems, please reach out to your trusted people or seek help. Let’s be aware of our mental health, let’s take care of ourselves both physically and mentality. Love yourself, know yourself. <3
