Prompt- Do you think that more people should talk about their mental health?

I absolutely do. It should be normalized to talk about what you are actually going through. Unfortunately, sometimes when I am going through something that the person has not, and they have no idea, and it makes them uncomfortable, so it makes me uncomfortable. You just don’t feel like ‘burdening’ anyone so sometimes you keep a lot of stuff to ( Read more... )

mental health, normalized, to talk or not to talk, scientificaly, it is healthy to talk about it, prompt, groups, burden, peer support, counselor

I'm mentally ill and I don't tell a lot of people about it.

I think it’s very important, I have had my battles with mental illness. At first I didn’t want to tell anyone. But my attitude has changed so much.
Finding a good therapist and supportive family and friends is utmost important.

Anytime you’re having a bad day I’m here for you.

Thank you Julie! Same for you. I’m able to get to my phone for most of the day. A good therapist is key. You are not always going to find a therapist that you are comfortable right away. Sometimes it takes trying a second or third (some might try even more) to find the one for you. I have had a lot of traumatic things happen in my life so I just find it’s easier for me to talk with just my counselor or my peer groups. Peer groups have helped me tremendously. They just make me feel not so alone.
