I’d give so much to not have random bouts of suicidal urges/constant call of the void, to not have my brain randomly decide to not trust those around me and to get self-destructive ideas embedded for no reason.
Mental illnesses aren’t quirky tumblr shoelaces. They can be everything from a minor annoyance to utterly debilitating, and they don’t often come solo either. I’d love to have positive mental health 100% of the time.
En los momentos que el ruido mental cesa -ese ruido generado por pensamientos, emociones, ego y razonamientos en conflicto- cuando emerge un silencio claro, te das cuenta de que tú no eres parte de ellos. Tú eres aquel que no participa en las disputas diarias. Tú solo eres tú, el que le da el sentido e interpreta todo este diálogo constante.
Es como si estuviésemos controlando un personaje, pero en algún momento dado nos olvidásemos completamente de que lo controlamos para formar parte de él. Nos perdemos bajo todos esos sentimientos y emociones, nos sofocamos bajo nuestro ego y creamos perspectivas abrumadoras de la realidad. Idealizamos a las personas y nos decepcionamos constantemente porque nos dejamos llevar por esos sentimientos o tomamos malas decisiones de las que nos arrepentimos por dejarnos llevar por nuestras emociones.
Debemos aprender a alejarnos, a desprendernos de todo esto que nos ata a la irracionalidad, y abrazar el razonamiento, ser guiados por este mismo. Solo cuando alcancemos este desprendimiento podremos darnos cuenta de que las interpretaciones del amor, la pureza o la bondad estaban filtradas por el sentimentalismo o la necesidad de aferrarse a ideales. Solo cuando hemos visto que las personas (incluyéndote) no son “absolutas”, ni completamente buenas ni completamente malas, ni siempre puras ni siempre impuras. La realidad humana es compleja, cambiante y muchas veces contradictoria.
Esto no es una negación del sentimiento, sino una invitación a ver más allá de él, a razonar y observar sin dejarse arrastrar de el.
I don’t know if anyone can be completely mentally healthy all the time, but we need support available and to be able to ask for help.
That said, I struggle with depression and really high anxiety that makes many aspects of life very difficult, and yeah, an extended period of positive mental health would be nice 🙂
I’ve been really lucky to have mostly stable, good mental health throughout my life. Any dips in mood or serious depressive episodes have been situational and due to healthy emotional responses, even if they don’t feel that way at the time.
I do feel incredibly lucky despite having other chronic illnesses.
I think there is something quite empowering about experiencing a dip in your mental health just to come out the other end intact. I’ve had several in my life and every time I’ve come out of the dark times I have been happier than I thought possible.
I had a bit of a meltdown the other week, some old wound got poked and I wasn’t great for a few days but I used the tools I have learnt over my 30+ years (through lots of therapy, self reflection and life experience) to get myself back on track….a few days ago I had a beautiful moment of utter awe and gratitude. I don’t think I could’ve gotten there without that ‘blip’ I’d had the previous week.
Of course, I am also very aware that poor mental health can be absolutely debilitating and torturous to the point people want to end it all (I have been there, a few times). So take my comment with a grain of salt.
All I know is that I only got to where I am now partially because of the mental suffering I experienced.
Do I look forward to having another ‘blip’? No. Do I know that I will have many of them throughout my life? Yes. But if all my ‘blips’ have taught me anything this far is that there is an ‘after’, and that can be really worthwhile.
This might be an unpopular opinion, but I wouldn’t. I feel like I am more understanding, empathetic, and all around a better person because of the strife and mental health challenges I have had.

Hello friend
Anyone get introduced to anxiety the past few years?? Omg it’s debilitating
Not me. 🤪
Of course, me! When I’m mentally stable, I can be kind to others too.

Healthy Mental Health!
I’d give so much to not have random bouts of suicidal urges/constant call of the void, to not have my brain randomly decide to not trust those around me and to get self-destructive ideas embedded for no reason.

What kind of question is this?
um, I would hope All of us.
How much is the subscription?
No. If im happy all the time, I’ll never appreciate that happiness again because there are no low or down times to compare it to.
Maybe not all the time. My best jokes come from my dark times and I can’t lose my humor. It’s my essence.
Who wouldn’t?

That doesn’t seem healthy. Define “positive mental health”
No thank you, that sounds unbearable to me.

I do, can Dm me anytime if you need to talk
I’d settle for once in a while at this point.

At any time
Please
Thanks
Is this a sales pitch?
Is this recruitment for Lumon? Are you offering severance?
Alhamdulillah I’m doing good

People with detrimental mental health all the time

“there cannot be light without darkness.” – a wise man
Literally anyone. What kind of stupid ass question is this? Naw I’d rather have suicidal ideations all day everyday! GTFOH!!!
I think the human experience is a spectrum. The good days are not great without the bad days too. Everything is a balance.
I think question would be more, who wouldn’t?
I had one panic attack over five years ago now, and that truly messed me up. I’ve never. Been the same since.
Please. Haven’t felt happy in 3 years
