Mental Health, simply put is one’s Psychological, Emotional and Social Well-being.  How we think, feel and behave can impact on our mental health.
It is important to be aware and to take care of our mental health at all stages of our lives.
 
Triggers of Mental Health Issues:
 
  • Our ability to handle stress of our daily live
  • Being in a highly pressurised job
  • Financial pressures
  • Stressful relationships
  • Issues around physical health
  • Going through life changing situations
  • Going through trauma or abuse
  • History of mental health issues in the family
  • Too much on the plate and unable to cope
  • Work related stress like bullying and harassment…… and many more
 
All of the above can have a lasting negative impact on our mental health. 
 
Learning to recognise and deal with triggers can minimize the impact they can have on our mental health.  
 
How can you help yourself and create good mental health?
 
  • Keep an eye on your stress levels

I have suffered greatly over the years from depression. Everyday has been a struggle and still is in some days. There is help out there. Do speak to your GP and they will help you. Don’t suffer is silence as we do because we feel we need to be strong. It’s ok to say “I’m not ok “

I did

Its so true that mental health affects our physical well-being and over the years I have come to realise that most of my aches and pains are due to some or anxiety issues. Thanks to the blogs like these, I have been able to identify my issues and ask for help when needed.
