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.

Believe

Hi guys😊, I'm back from the very long break and I guess I was greatly missed 🤭. So our topic of discussion today is Believe.  It is a cure to fear. For those of you who remember, in our last session,  I said we are going to deal with how to overcome fear and voila, here we are.  Believe simply put means having faith in something or someone. Our focus is on believing in yourself and I mean you. Like I said before, Fear is a negative vibe that distabilises humans. So we can see Believe as a Positive vibe. Most times the human mind is weakened by what it sees, hears or feels and so it needs to be tricked into believing it can overcome. There was a particular time in my life when I just felt like I couldn't take it anymore. I just couldn't control what was happening in my life. To be sincere, I was scared of living. I came in contact with a friend who was living life like it will end the next day. She made me realize that there's nothing to be scared of especially since I...

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...

Reality Sucks

 Yes Yes It sucks and I mean it.  Most times, we can't come to terms with happenings around us. We tend to dwell more in our minds and heads, not really caring if we are doing it right or not. I for one know what it's like prolly because I wallow in fantasies a lot but then if you keep on drowning yourself in your thoughts, you're paving ways for depression. Let's all come to terms with the saying that nothing lasts forever. Reality brings you out from the fantasy wall you've built into a world that's uncomprehending. This topic came from a thought in my head and boy did it take me a while to find words to give birth to this piece. For the first time since I started this blog, I had a writer's block and that's when it dawned on me that nothing is actually perfect. Things don't go smoothly all the time. Your reality might be scary, weird, blurry, confusing but that's what makes it reality . It's not a bed of Roses. In reality, shit happens. In...
