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.

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...

BACK FROM THE EDGE

I give up on writing.  Really.  It's not what it used to be.  It no longer feels warm.  I remember my first time on Wattpad and how butterflies formed in my belly when I read different stories, and I thought  "Ah, wouldn't it be nice if someone else could have a taste of this feeling of bliss"?  This was how my love story began until I was swayed into the arms of another in search of a solution to my many problems.  A journey of hatred and suffocation started.  Why, you may ask?  Well, I won't mince words when giving my answer. It's too accurate to miss😂 That which I once held dear became a bitter experience.  It tore the garment of my soul!  It gave me the feeling of an American male teenager who has parents who are always at loggerheads.  No comfort.  No solace.  No calm .  Just a space filled with darkness as thick as a forest.  I used to live for writing.  It was the bane of my existence.  It ...

THE POWER OF OVER CONFIDENCE

A Tired body. Drowsy eyes. Weak legs. As I pen down my thoughts for you, these are the expressions of the state I've found myself in. I wonder what will happen if I don't show up when my heart already knows the answer, and so I keep going because the feeling of regret and distrust in oneself is too much of a burden to bear. Speaking of distrust, something crazy happened to me. "What was I thinking?" I have been asking myself what went wrong. I was fully aware of my words and environment, but somehow I got lost in my head. Lost in my abilities . As much as it seemed funny, it caused me a lot of concern. I've always been an avid Word Lover. Words make me happy. New words give me ecstasy. Once I come across a word I'm unfamiliar with, I tend to leave every engagement just to get the information surrounding that word. So it shouldn't have been a problem to spell the word "Grace". Yes, that's the word I misspelled in front of a crowd—–quite embarr...
