Mental Health Reassurance

Definitely in this world and in many societies, the strain of living with unattended trauma weighs heavy on those who feel boxed in. they begin to express themselves with feelings of isolation, awkwardness, pain, mood swings, harmful self medication, etc hoping at times that it will magically go away or even the worst case scenario, removing themselves from picture. This solves nothing and actually adds to the monster that needs to be fought, the depression. The sadness of it all if allowed to go on unaddressed may consume everyone involved. All the loved ones you have may be effected but this not about them at the moment. This is about YOU. Did you know you are not alone? Did you know there are people willing to reach out and make connections to help you back on the road to some wellness. It could be a group, a comforting voice, a relatable story, something, like a rope to help you climb up out of your despair. I haven't met any one who can read a mind so the decision has to be made by the ones most effected by a mental crisis. Yes, it's a hard call. Yes, you may be deemed the evil one. Hated by the very person you are trying to help but if they connect with just a glimpse of what can be possible, just a hint of wellness, it is like opening the curtains for sunshine to come in. We need all the tools we can and care for each other to achieve this and the greatest addition is the awareness of the person knowing they are not alone in the struggle. Look up the mental health facilities in your area if you have a loved one in crisis mode. The suicide hotline number is 800-273-8255
The Poison Prevention number is 800-222-1222
Here's a great book (in the link below)for those who need that connection to reassure them that mental wellness is possible. Thank you for reading. feel free to share. Be well. http://introvertunites.tumblr.com/post/171554912790/awake-society-mental-health-support-mental
