Your Sanity Matters




      Happy World Mental Health Day



What better day than today to share my little story.



Recently I have been having sucidal 
thoughts. I went into the depression zone. I would say I got tired of life.


I didn't have anyone to talk to about it because I felt no one will truly understand what I'm going through. But then in the process of thinking. It struck me that committing suicide is a big sin. So it's a loss for me even after life and that was when the inspiration for this particular blog post came in.

Not many people know when they are going off. Not many are enlightened on their mental health prolly because of the way the world is going. 

Our mental health is linked with both our spiritual and physical being. Once you are not psychologically stable, you're whole life becomes an uproar. You canj't function normally. Most times you are being referred to as MAD. 

Not everyone knows that they are having a mental breakdown. 

When you start wallowing in your thoughts, avoiding social gatherings, bottling up emotions, leaving reality, you are on your way to destroying your mental health .

I am not a psychologist neither am I a medical personnel but I know  based on the experience that I've been there before that if you keep things hidden, they eat you up from the inside. You become jittery, easily shocked and even insecure. You feel that everyone is after you which is not so. Your mind is only playing tricks on you. You start acting out of the ordinary and then termed CRAZY.

When you think positivity, positive vibes come in but when you are wallowing in negativity, your thoughts are harmed and that paves way for social vices which in turn leads to a world full of crime.

Most people don't like sharing their problems because they are afraid it will become the talk of the Town but when you become 'psycho', it'll still be heard all over. Both ways people will still talk whether you like it or not. It's a win win for them.

A lot if things can cause your mental health to be at stake. Examples are

~Depression
~Sadness
~Loneliness
~Drug Abuse
~Peer pressure
~Stress and a whole lot more.

Learn to give yourself time to rest. Learn to take a vacation. Learn to think of your best interests as well as that if others. Learn to feel(it's okay to be heartbroken and it's okay to cry, bottling this up breaks you), learn to speak up when you are being molested, learn to voice out your opinions in the right way, learn to enjoy life and also learn to love God. He alone gives peace of mind. He alone brings joy to your soul.


You can also participate in yoga classes. It can be of great help.

Also note that sometimes putting yourself before others doesn't mean you're being selfish. It actually means you're being selfish to yourself. Once in a while take a break. Taking out 10 minutes out if 24 hours each day will do. You can listen to good music and also down a cup of coffee or a cup of tea. They are great stress relievers.

So if you're feeling down, you can talk to someone advicably someone you trust and if you end up not finding anyone, I'll be available. 


Your Sanity Matters.

"If you don't take care of yourself, you won't be able to take care of others."

Till next time my darlings,
Dese.

IMPERFECTIONS

Have you ever gone on Social media, particularly WhatsApp and decide that you'll use a few moments to just go through statuses. You come across things that make you cringe, some make you happy, some make you sad and some brings out an ugly head that will just weaken your mind and break your self esteem. Very crazy indeed. From there you start asking yourself questions that can either build you up or bring you down. Everytime I create a new post on my blog, I go through a lot of doubts asking myself if it's good enough or if people actually read what I post or if it even creates a spark in someone's mind to keep pushing (Pushing P😂) and guess what, if the negative thought supercedes the positive, I'll just tell myself, "Wo, just give up abegggi" and to think I actually do it🙂. There's this song that lives rent-free in my head. I heard it from a Disney cartoon I watched years ago. "Look at me,  I would never pass for a perfect bride Or a perfect d...

CHILL! THE RESULTS WILL SHOW

I never kept my fingernails. Not because I don't like long nails; it's just that they found their way to my mouth at any given time— I'm telling you, my fingers have minds of their own. I'm sad, I bite. I'm anxious, I bite. I'm scared, I bite. I think, I bite. And the funniest, I'm hungry, I bite. Please don't judge me, and I won't do the same. So, because of these claims, I didn't fancy it until a thought dropped coupled with a little threat. I decided to keep my left pinky, More like a little experiment. Arrgh! The frustration that came with keeping it kicked in. Mere staring at it brings triggers the urge to bite. I was so anxious. I even asked myself if it might be nice cause I won't even lie. I was scared. Yeah, insecurities kicked in. But something in me kept calming my heart. Fast-forward to this moment, I wonder why I didn't keep them all these while. Though, on average, it came out beautiful. I never imagined my nails looking all...

DON'T HOLD ON!

  My decisions are mine and mine alone, even when influenced by others, I'm still the one with the final say. I'm still the one who decides if I want to go or if I want to stay. And so it kills me when such decisions bring about an emotion that won't give me a chance to breathe. That won't give me a chance to move. That won't give me a chance at life. Regret. Basically, we're looking at regret in context of the past i.e in things we wish we had done. Subtly put, Wishful Thinking. To regret means to feel sorry about something, to be remorseful.  It means that regret comes with a deep kind of sorrow. When we feel sorry, it means something went wrong or haywire.  It means there's a pain deep in your hearts knowing that if you went back in time, you would definitely change the turnout of things. "Assuming I just listened, I wouldn't be in this state". This is the sound of someone who feels sorry for themselves for not doing something or taking acti...
