Why is your Mental Health important?

 

Describe your current mental health status. Are you feeling your best? If so, what are you doing to maintain? If not, what are somethings you can work on?

  1. My mental health has been much better off than it used to be. I have a better understanding (not necessarily control) over my emotions and how they do or do not play into reality and logic. I could, however, work on not being so self-critical. I even find myself criticizing how I think and act when they are positive thoughts and actions but I just have a much stronger opinion than most. It is difficult for me to understand why we are so self-critical, because I would NEVER consider judging and criticizing someone else in the same manner that I do myself.

  2. Im ok. I don't really know to describe what I feel but I know that my life has changed so much over the past few years. I know that I am happy sometimes but I never feel content with life. Whether it be doing well in school, having material things, or feeling like I am being the best version of myself. I feel like I make poor decisions and the results are what take a toll on my mental health. I used to never be ok with being alone but now I prefer staying home by myself. I used to love my job but now I wake up dreading going in. I used to know what my plan for my life was but now I get bored so easily or find something wrong with everything. It just seems so easy to get caught up in old habits than to form new ones that will better me. I am grateful for the life I have because I know it could be worse but there is always that thought in the back of my head that maybe I am what's wrong with me. But yeah, im ok.

  3. My current mental health status is going pretty well. I am in a good spot. I did go through a break up recently and my mental health was kind of in shambles but I have really turned it around. I have been more focused on God and maintaining my relationship with God honestly and it has really turned my mental health around and I am truly grateful for that.

  4. My current mental health status is absolutely atrocious. I just got over a period of mania and am currently on the low end now. I don’t feel like doing much of anything and want to crawl into a ball and hide but have many obligations I must attend to so I move. I’m working extra hard to finish things I need to get done with so that I can finally get some much needed physical and mental rest. The anticipation of that is what is helping me maintain.

  5. My current mental health is in shambles. I sleep all day until it is time to go to work. I barely eat or do my school work. Depression is beating me up and I'm slowly trying to dig my self out of the hole I didn't mean to create. I've been trying to make a calendar to keep up with my work and put motivation quotes on my phone. I don't understand what is happening to me but I'm trying my best to stay focus.

  6. Attending to your mental health is very significant in today's world. My current mental health status is excellent and that is because I practice gratitude, remove any unnecessary stressors, and maintain a well balanced diet. I used to stress a lot and worry about the little things such as if I am making my kids happy, my diet, my income, and relationships with family and friends. I even resorted to smoking to see if that could improve my mental health, but it only made things worse. Going forward, I will continue to always put myself first and consider the happiness of myself before attending to anyone else.

  7. My current mental health state is not too shabby. I am a unemployed, full-time student, and a stay at home mother of a one year old. I am also 4 months pregnant. So stress and anxiety can definitely take a toll on my mental state. But I am learning to not obsess or cry over things that I cannot control. We all are just doing our best in this one life that we get, and hope to make an impact on at least one person before we leave this earth.

  8. Mental health is important because it affects every aspect of a person's life. It refers to the state of our emotional, psychological, and social well-being, which enables us to function effectively in our daily lives, including our relationships, work, and other activities.

  9. My current mental status is not the best. I am working on it daily, but their are still a lot of things to fix. Mental health is extremely important, it affects everything. I am currently struggling to even get out of bed certain days. This has made completing my summer classes extremely difficult. Certain days i can not get up to take exams/complete assignments. Which I am not sure what to do about. I am currently trying to go to therapy again, after stopping because i was doing "better".

  10. My mental health currently isn't the greatest, but I am in a much better place than I was even just a month ago. I am going through a separation with my daughter's dad; my best friend, someone I spent the last 8 years with. It has taken a toll on me in many ways. I had a difficult time at first-- the depression, not eating, feeling like I was wasting away was awful. It truly wreaked havoc on my body and well-being; I lost 15 pounds and barely slept. I finally was able to pull myself out of that and get a new job, start on medication, and get established with a therapist. I'm still not great, I have many days where I still feel down, but I keep telling myself there is light at the end of this.

  11. Mental Health has always been important to me. I have a brother who suffer from a mental illness, and he has always stayed on me about the importance of it. Lately, my mental health hasn't been at its best. I'm in school for the third time with no breaks in between. I'm also a mom of two and engaged. It has been a roller-coaster ride, but I have started doing yoga, Pilates and journaling it has helped me a lot.

  12. Right now, my mental health is everywhere and I am unable to catch it at this moment. I have been going through some phases for almost 2 years after my only sister and my aunt passed away within a week of each other from Covid-19. Stress has made a home in my space and at the moment we are running a race. One day i'm not worrying until stress starts doing its thing and leaving me with headaches, attitudes, and going into hermit mode. I'm really not doing my best right now when I should but with home, children, school, and work, I'm hanging on. I am doing my best to meditate more. I have slack and I found that it is very therapeutic and helpful. I tend to control the things that trigger me into stressful situations. Adding more outside time to my agenda is definitely a must because it has been scientifically proven that green spaces promote good health.

  13. My mental health is ok. I have some days where I feel really overwhelmed and stress. But I take a breathe and take one day at a time. Once I feel myself snapping at people, I step back gather my thoughts and try again.

  14. My mental health is good. I can look at myself and figure out why I may not be able to feel my best and asses accordingly. For example, sometimes I get really stressed out about school and work. I am able to pinpoint whether I am feeling overwhelmed due to the amount of tasks I have or stressed because of a certain situation. It helps me know the problem and I prioritize what I need to accomplish. Talking to my boyfriend helps a lot, he is a psychologist and helps me figure out my issues while venting to him.

  15. My current mental health is good, but it could be better. At times I feel great and other times I don't feel my best. To maintain i take breaks and spend time with myself and I workout to keep my adrenaline up.

  16. I'm feeling pretty positive about my mental health these days. To keep it that way, I'm staying consistent with my self-care practices like meditation, journaling, and connecting with loved ones. If I ever hit a rough patch, I know I can lean on these habits and seek support to navigate through it.
