Mental Healthness
All too often we hear about mental health in a negative light. We hear: “I don’t have mental health” or “He must suffer with his nerves”.
We don’t hear about the person who struggled with depression all their life finally finding some light.
We don’t hear about the person who attempted suicide finding comfort and solace from the noises in their head.
We don’t hear about what they did to change how they felt.
We’re not educated in how they did it.
The Problem
In school, we’re taught maths, geography, history.
We’re even taught how to balance a chequebook. Seriously.
No one explains what healthy mental health is.
No one explains how to deal with overwhelming emotions, what depression is, how to cope with anxiety, or what mental illness looks like.
