We Have All Been Touched By Mental Health

We have all been touched by mental heal in the pandemic, and many of us are still having to deal with mental health issues. Governments ignoring the pandemic, resulting in them interfering with your mental health doesn’t help, and the issues exacerbate. We should all be concerned that governments are ignoring the science.

Social media heard today from someone who was heading to hospital, having tried to take his own life. Feeling ashamed, he wanted people to know how he felt and I get him. He has nothing to be ashamed of. Politicians on the other hand, have every reason to feel ashamed, but they aren’t.

I have autism and I struggle with mental health. I also write about mental health issues on my blog, the very issues that affect us all. I choose every day not to live in denial that I have mental health issues. Social media has become a platform for many of us who talk about issues, with undercurrents that are very much mental health related, they just don’t give it a name.

It is easy to see how many people are struggling, but we shouldn’t live in denial and no one is free of mental health issues, or feeling out of their depth. Things happen, and sometimes those things are out of our control. It is important to think about how you feel, and to acknowledge the state of your mental health.

When I was growing up, mental health wasn’t a thing because no one talked about it, but it was still there and if you struggled, you struggled alone and in silence, and although in 2022, mental health is out in the open, politics and society don’t mix well, and those with a predisposition to mental health issues, fare worse than those who generally do okay with their mental health, but may have felt out of their depth in the pandemic.

But not talking about how you feel, doesn’t mean your struggles aren’t there. Politics around the world and in the pandemic is having an impact on people’s mental health. To acknowledge that is a start.

Social media has become a sounding board for mental health. You can hear the desperation as others struggle to comprehend. I struggle to comprehend also.

For anyone struggling with mental health or feeling suicidal, please reach out for help. You’re not alone.

If you fancy grabbing a copy and reading about mental health and emotional wellbeing, and so that mental health charities can benefit, or you simply want more info, you can buy my books from Amazon, or through the following link https://linktr.ee/Ilana_Estelle

You can choose to drop it🥳 ✨ It would be great if we could choose what we think about but unfortunately life doesn’t work that way and we only get to choose what we focus on✅ ✨ If you’re analysing thought to try and understand why something happened or didn’t happen recognise that you’re living through who you think you are which demands answers because it needs to reconcile what the event means about you🤔 ✨ The real you doesn’t give a fuck what anything means or doesn’t mean because it is never damaged by anything that’s ever happened because it is whole and complete😌 ✨ The only thing that takes us away from our natural state of peace is believing a lie and the lie originates with whatever random thought is running through our heads in the moment😅 ✨ How freeing it is to see that thought doesn’t have to mean anything🥳 ✨ How would your life be different if you could choose to drop whatever you’re thinking about in the moment?🤔 ✨ #selfimprovement #mentaltoughness #tedtalks #selfrevolution #dailyreminders #mentalhealththerapist #positivevibe #itsokaytotalk #grounded #messageoftheday #spiritualfood #spiritualworld #mindcoach #acourseinmiracles #creatingchange #selfhelpbook #selfmastery #alanwatts #healingtools #livejoyfully (at Beachscape Kin Ha Villas & Suites) https://www.instagram.com/p/COGQwE-nj4J/?igshid=zugvyplrf1gy

Can't you hear my silent screams? They are so loud they echo in my dreams. Behind this face that carries a smile Lies a dark road that goes on mile after mile. My silent screams have been going on for years, But it always falls on so many deaf ears. How can they hear these silent screams in my mind? They can't hear my thoughts if I keep telling them I'm fine. What can I tell them? These silent screams carry no words. It's just feelings of sadness and darkness that come in its herds. How can I explain so people understand this? It's like walking around in a suffocating black mist. It's holding on to happiness like holding water in your hands. It just trickles between your fingers and disappears into the sands. I can't explain how this feels; it's so extreme, So I hold my mouth shut to cover my silent screams.

It’s scary how easy it is to feel completely alone. It doesn’t matter if you’re single, if you’re married, if you have roommates, or if you live with family. There are times when you feel like the world is full of people that have either forgotten about you or are disappointed in you. Sometimes the feelings don’t even come from actual conversations with those people, but things you’ve played over and over in your head so much that they’ve mutated into something else entirely. Either way, it all just feels like too much.

I can’t tell you how everything is going to work out or what is going to happen tomorrow, but what I can tell you is that I am 100% positive, beyond any shadow of a doubt that you are not alone. Everyone gets those awful feelings. Your life could be going fine and the most tiny, simple thing will turn your world upside down. Usually it happens as soon as you lie down in your bed. For years I would stay up until I was about to pass out because I didn’t want to deal with the mental torment that would engulf my brain as soon as the lights went out. I would start going through every “what if” scenario imaginable and overwhelm myself with things that, more than likely, would never happen. I felt like I was the only person in the world that felt this way and no one could possibly understand what I was going through. That’s not true at all.

It may not be to that extreme, but everyone has moments of being swarmed by crippling inadequately. Everyone has days where it seems as though every decision you make is the wrong one and every word you speak ends up doing unintentional damage. You feel like the push the people away you should cling to and desperately hold on to those that are toxic for your life. You’re not alone.

I wish I could say, “here are ten foolproof methods to help you strap up your boots and seize the day!” I wish I could tell you that the person who hurt you so deeply will be exposed for who they really are, or the things that you’ve worked so hard for are just within your reach, but I can’t. Bad things happen. Good people end up getting hurt and sometimes you just feel like lying in bed all day and screaming into your pillow. Just know that you’re not the only one that’s been in that exact same position.

So if everyone has been in that situation and felt that overwhelming sorrow, then what separates those who are presumably happy with those who are miserable? The refusal to stay in that place.

I’m not speaking from a place of judgment, but a place of experience. I’ve felt loss. I’ve had to deal with betrayal and heartbreak and the voice in the back of my head telling me that I don’t deserve happiness. I’ve had moments where I listened to it and let it dictate my decisions, but I got to the point where I had to decide if I would let my life be defined by this, or if, in that moment, I would decide that this is the lowest point I will ever be and refuse to ever get back to that place. You have to decide it for yourself. No one can make you push yourself beyond the sadness. No one can make you try when failure seems inevitable. Just don’t quit. We all have that battle. And we’re all fighting it together.

- everything gonna be alright!

Boundaries

Some people won't appreciate what you do for them. Some people won't meet you at the same energy. Don't let that stop you from being you. You can be kind, loving and supportive of others, and still keep some space between you and some others. Your boundaries matter.

Sometimes a parent has done irreparable damage. Because of that when they in turn become a parent. They are the most a parent can be.

My mother has said and done tremendously horrid things to me throughout my life. She was and has been my emotional abuser. She lost her hold on me today. I finally let go. Because I would not give into her demands. I mean literal demands. Verbatim "I'm not arguing with you. You will do this". I am a 26 year old mother and wife. I am an adult. I am a women with dignity and respect for myself and family. I will protect them. As mentioned. I did not meet said demands. She threatened to call the authorities. Why? You got me . This entire time my 13 month old boy was asleep in my lap. I could not believe the audacity of my mother. Willing to disturb the sleep of her grandson for the sake of her own want. A switch went off in my brain. I became numb. I am finished. So I sent her a message. Explaining she will no longer be able to spend time with our son. Until she can be less hateful towards me . I will not allow that negativity around our child. Before this she's called my husband a single parent. She's gone over my head. She answer questions before I get a chance to regarding our son as if he was her own. She, when I cooked mason the burger the other night got mad at me for some reason, so she slapped masons food across the counter. I asked her what she was doing. She replied with I didn't do anything. I'm done. She's going to far.

feel so alone in my head sometimes.. ngl it kinda sucks n gets to be a bit of a struggle, sorry to everyone if I ain’t been myself or lashed out recently, sorry if I’ve ignored you, I assure you it was quite likely unintentional (I forget things.. likE A LOT), sorry I find it hard to sleep at normal times and then am able to sleep days on end then hit with inability to sleep, I’m sorry I get sad, I’m sure you all sick of hearing about it or seeing it by now, i am truly sorry I am the way I am and can be the way I am. I’m sorry, I’m TRYING. - #mha #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthisimportant #mentalhealthsupport #imsorry #itsokaynottobeokay #itsokaytonotbeokay #itsokaytotalk #itsokaytocry #itsokaytoaskforhelp #itsokaytobedifferent (at United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6IM4hHnuSX2dYYB8W6DKpWPABq0-5zh3Tye-s0/?igshid=qbm4nist2pu5

Feelings don’t have to mean anything🤔 ✨ They come and go just like breath, if we let them! But holding on to feelings and analysing them only makes them linger for longer😅 ✨ When we dig into our feelings and try to figure out where they’re coming from all we’re doing is judging and analysing which takes us further and further from the place we want to get to - where we were before the feeling😭 ✨ To get back to that place all we need to do is drop the thinking, drop the analysis and come back to quiet😇 ✨ Easier said than done I know but it starts with giving yourself permission to have nothing on your mind and from there you will find peace🌚 ✨ #selfimprovement #mentaltoughness #tedtalks #selfrevolution #dailyreminders #mentalhealththerapist #positivevibe #itsokaytotalk #grounded #messageoftheday #spiritualfood #spiritualworld #mindcoach #acourseinmiracles #creatingchange #selfhelpbook #selfmastery #alanwatts #healingtools #livejoyfully (at London, Unιted Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMLAngNnGtZ/?igshid=1gyp50nr6bgga
