"I would enter into what felt to my 10-year-old self like a sort of dreamy uneasiness. I was completely out of touch with my physical presence and felt my consciousness, or whatever, carry me above myself." - (Source: Putting Words to My Mental Health Struggles Saved Me - Time.)
We're ignoring 'Mental Health'
Have we left talking about mental health, or did we really start? Is that what you want for yourself? Mental health issues are there when we wake up in the morning and when we go to bed at night. Most of the time it's ignored. My twin said she forgot to tap 'into her.'
We're failing to prioritise 'Mental Health'
We're failing to prioritise mental health. We ignore how we feel, just so we can go about our daily, busy lives, but there is no health without mental health. None of us can lead a long life when we're limited by mental health.
We think about everything else
Mental health is like a faithful friend, by ignoring it we don't treat it with kindness. We think about everything else. If we want a holiday, we organise and prepare to go on holiday. If we want to go out with friends, we organise a night out, but we fail to put any importance to mental health.
Mental health is one area of our lives that we fail to prioritise.
Will you prioritise Mental Health?
I prioritise mental health, I am continually talking about mental health on my blog The CP Diary. Will you prioritise mental health?
