Mental health awareness
Self-help involves any and all acknowledgment of mental health matters.
Mental health is important. And the stigma that still exists regarding aspects of it helps nobody.
A lot of different elements go into working on mental health. Many of these elements work best when combined.
Therapy, psychopharmacology, and self-help notions can be used separately. But often a combination of these proves to be most effective.
In my experience, the best way to not just find but stay balanced and centered is the work you put into yourself. Which, yes, means self-help.
Mental health matters. But what control you take to deal with issues matters, too.
Alone in your head – but not alone
One of the biggest issues we have with anything we’re dealing with is that, ultimately, we’re all alone inside of ourselves.
No matter how many friends you have, how large a family you come from, or however many people you share your thoughts and feelings with – you’re alone inside of yourself. In your head, heart, and soul, there is only you.
Tuning in to mental health and taking control
When all is said and done, you have the ultimate control over your self.
When it comes to your thoughts, feelings, actions, and intentions, you are the one in control. Nobody can make you think, feel or act against your will. You are the driver behind the wheel of your life experience.
That’s not to say that outside stimuli won’t cause you to experience unwanted feelings.
Self-help is literally about helping yourself
Seeking therapy and accepting a medication prescription for an anti-anxiety drug or antidepressant are self-help. Nobody can force you to do these things.
The stigma surrounding mental health only changes when we alter our individual awareness of it. What begins small can expand into the collective consciousness.
