PERSPECTIVES .....??

I'm not a professional writer n even don't have profound grip of any language ( its sad) but i believe…… to express urself is more important, rest of the things fell down at its place….

Today I want to write about mental/ emotional wellbeing… we r so advanced, open minded about so many things but still when issue is about mental illness we try to hide it, try to avoid it, we feel if we cry or talk about our problems people will start avoiding us….. forget about others we, ourselves ,don't want to face it…… we keep on dumping it deep ,very very deep inside our heart…. we try everything to get rid of it but unfortunately in a wrong way…. we think by not talking about it or showing it we'll be able to overcome all this….we get successful too most of the times, but just for a short span of time…. but in long run…..actually what we are doing is keep on dumping the Mmm… what say…yeah garbage inside us , but everyone has a fixed bin which when filled up… it blasts off like a volcano… like if sea is dumped with wastage, plastic n all rubbish what happens, when tides come n hit the shore n go back to the sea, it leave behind all the wastage....same happens with our minds when we keep on dumping the things,first things popped up are the negativities and we get scared but if we want to clean we have to first start up with cleaning of such garbage stored in our minds.......but believe me this is the toughest job to do , coz it needs at very first level your confrontation with your own self, most of the times we never recognise ourselves??we cant believe that this can happen to us ( coz we have this pre-conditioning that wrongs happen to neighbors only?).

I believe time to time filteration is very important… … one should not wait for volcano to erupt… I am going through same, find it easy to dump the feelings…… boasting off the carefree attitude but that's not reality…?? and result is depression, anxiety , panic🙇‍♀️🤦‍♀️ and trust me this feeling is very, very scary…….a feeling like we r stuck in long dark tunnel, at the end of which there is no light. It fills you with feeling of useless, worthless, heaviness, emptiness… …… n icing on the cake will be that part of you continuously whispering ,come out of this, just come out… You want to be productive but maybe have insufficient urge to do so, you want to be with friends but you afraid of doing so… constant fear of being judged, being judged as successful or failure,being judged as strong or weak….but reality is you've no control on yourself.

How beautiful it can be if we pay emphasis on our emotional well being too, just like We take care of our physical well being. If it's in my hand I'll make sure everyone must see psychologist or counsellor atleast once a year if not more…… talking about emotional issues shouldn't be a taboo… the more vocal we are about it, the more open we are to seek help… lesser the prob will be.

Enough for this time……pratyaya

Hi Hidden, your so right in what you say. Mental illness is a taboo subject and as long as people hide it it will continue to be. I openly talk about it to friends and colleagues. In fact my friend told me half of our work force are on anti depressants. I'm sure she's exaggerated but the statistic is 1in 4 people have a mental health issue. Numbers are going up since this pandemic started.

I can usually spot the people who have anxiety at work. In England now there is a big drive to train up mental health first aiders to help signpost suffers to get the relevant help.

In my opinion one of the mojar causes of deteriorating mental health is life is too fast, toxic and materialistic. We're being brainwashed to consume more by subconsciously told we're not good enough if we don't have a 24inch waist, not tall enough or pretty enough. They lie through filters, airbrushing, lighting and camera tricks. This constant judging ourselves and others. This is overloading our brains overwhelming us with useless things and then we crash. Same as a computer when a website or system has too many log ons it crashes and a computer is an inanimate object!

I'm not a writer either, have a bit of a phobia about use of and comprehension of language and grammar. I have this need to understand everything precisely which is not useful, it's perfectionism and I don't like failing so end up avoiding everything. So there are big gaps in my education. But I have had to step up and not to be obsessive about little mistakes because I have probably written more on this forum than in my day job. So keep on writing it's good to hear others thoughts and experiences.

Keep safe.🤗
