A lot of the time mental health is something that is overlooked because we are just supposed to shove down our feelings and not worry about them. This is something that I'm sure many are dealing with. We are told that our problems are that big, and there is always someone else out there who has it worse. No matter what we do, we can't let someone else know that what we are dealing with is killing us inside. So, we keep on bottling it up and hope that it doesn't just explode one day.
We live in a world where mental health is something that you don't talk about. We think that just because we can't see someone suffering on the outside that they aren't actually hurting. The problem with this is that we losing many people to issues that they are battling on the inside. More and more people are starting to develop anxiety, depression and many other mental health issues, and we keep overlooking them.
Mental health has been a pretty taboo subject for a long time, and that's the problem. Sometimes when you're on social media you'll see someone who is yet another victim, and then you might read about it and then just kind of forget about it. The problem is, this is the kind of thing that shouldn't be happening. We need to make more people aware of mental health and how it can really affect someone. It might be from the stress of school, family, or even social life that might just push them over the edge. We need to talk about this subject more even if it is one that is uncomfortable. We should't be hearing about all the kids who are too stressed to know how to function anymore.
Making sure that you don't have unhealthy mental health is super important. And, I do think that it's something that should be touched upon in schools. In health, if your school even offers if they might just glance over it. Tell you a couple ways to manage your mental health and that's it. Well, they need to do more. Mental health needs to be talked about way more, and we shouldn't only be hearing about it when we lose someone.
We need to change the way that society is looking at things. Just because you might not have everything in place right now. We need to stop judging people so hard, and not worry if we make a mistake or two along the way. It's OK, and in the end you'll be just fine.
