It’s time to talk

When I was growing up, we weren’t encouraged to talk about how we felt. And although nothing was said, we learned very quickly that reaching out was a sign of weakness, not a sign of strength. We learned not to talk about how we felt.

As a child I wanted desperately to talk about things. I not only had physical weakness through a disability I knew nothing about, but my mental and emotional feelings were shot. I knew I was different. It’s time to talk about how we feel, for others to listen to us, and for us to listen to others.

Talking isn’t a sign of weakness, talking about how you feel is a gutsy thing to do. It’s not only telling the other person you have something to say, but it’s clearing things up for you; it’s finding resolution.

The word dis-ease means ill at ease and that’s when illness sets in. When we talk about things, we keep illness at bay. There is a fine dividing line between staying well and becoming ill. The more we keep things inside, the more we invite illness in.

Although I learned early on that I couldn’t talk about how I felt, that yearning of wanting to talk never left. There is no doubt for me that finding resolution if we can’t achieve it by ourselves, comes when we talk openly about things.

Amara Sikander (@amarasikander) believes: "Guidance and counseling are important for children, and schools have a huge role in bringing out the best in children. Good conduct is coveted, but sometimes young minds need guidance to polish their personality. Through counseling, children are given advice on how to manage and deal with emotional conflict and personal problems." Further she added, "Decide what must get done and what can wait, and learn to say no to new tasks if they are putting you into overload. Note what you have accomplished at the end of the day, not what you have been unable to do. Stay connected with people who can provide emotional and other support. To reduce stress, ask for help from friends, family, and community." • So, let’s get this conversation going and start to talk about these issues more to end the stigma against Mental Health. We are pushing for a change in students life, #onestepatatime. |Stop stigma against #MentalHealth| Reminder: "You are not alone". -- #tds #greenribbon #mentalhealthmatters #mindmatters #thedialogueseries #youthactivists #lahore #BBDO #Pakistan #artdirector #youthorganization #itstimetotalk #mentalhealth #endstigma

I was in an Elementary School earlier and this big poster caught my attention. I don't judge but it was kind of disturbing... Don't you think?. 🤔 Nung elementary kasi ako ang alam ko lang mag-aral eh. 😅 #InstaHealth by Doc Che Ibay DID YOU KNOW THAT in the Philippines ONE IN FIVE people suffers from a mental health problem? What is mental health? MentalHealth.gov defines mental health as our emotional, psychological and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel and act. It also determines how we handle stress, relate to others and make choices. Mental health is equally important as physical health. Why? Because mental illness hinders your growth as a person, hinders your happiness and may lead you to commit suicide. Suicide is the most dangerous complication of untreated mental health problem. According to National Statistics Office, mental illnesses are the third most common morbidities among Filipinos. Furthermore, 17-20 percent of Filipino adults experience psychiatric disorders and 10-15 percent of Filipino children, aged 5 to 10 years old, suffer from mental health problems. These worrisome numbers may simply be a fraction of the actual problem since mental health issues, especially in a Catholic country, tends to be under reported. What can be done to promote mental wellness? Find the right balance. Know your worth, surround yourself with positive people and take care of your body. Exercise, eat a balanced diet, take your vitamins and get enough sleep. Let us erase the stigma attached to mental illness. If you know somebody suffering from mental health problem, don't judge them, instead help them fight this difficult battle. Its time we talk about it! #itstimetoTalk #fightmentalillness #LovelifeandLiveit #beAFriend #itstimetoListen For more information visit National Mental Health Association
