Mental Health is so Important

We all have our problems. We all deal with them in our own way. Everyone is different with how they feel and act. And that's okay. But lets talk about mental health, okay? Mental health is so important.

Why, you may ask? Well, I'll tell you why!

Mental health affects how we think and feel, and even act. It includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. Along with how we deal with stress, relate to others, and even making choices. Behavior, mood, and even your own thinking can be affected.

There are many different reasons as to why there are shifts in your mood, behavior, and thinking. Which include:

Genes or brain chemistry, which are biological factors

Life experiences (i.e. trauma or abuse)

Family history

No matter what it may be, we all deal with our own things. And it is up to us on how we deal with it and how we approach it.

School and work can also take a major toll on us as well. And it is okay to take a mental health day. Mental health should always come first.

Mental health will always be important. Sometimes you just have to take a step back from reality and think to yourself: "Am I happy? Am I okay mentally? Can I do this right now? Is it possible for me to do this right now?"

And guess what? It is okay if you need to go get help. You have to work on you, for you, and only you. Don't let anyone try and dictate your happiness and your life. This is your life and you have to live it to your full potential. You aren't weak by getting help. You're taking a step in the right direction by getting the help you need and deserve.

And for me personally, I think getting help is probably one of the most strongest things you can do.

Don't be afraid. Get the help you need. You matter. Everyone around you wants you to be happy. They all care about you. They really do. Keep reminding yourself of all the good in your life as well. There is always good.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
