Monday Chats II (On a Tuesday)
4/18/2017
A few weeks
ago I posted something called Monday Chats, where I just talked about random
things that have been on my mind for a couple of days. Today I really wanted to
talk about mental health and criticism (as in my opinion they go a bit
together) and I have decided to post another Monday Chats, this time on a
Tuesday.
I've been
noticing recently that mental health has become more and more difficult to talk
about; with that I mean that people are more prone to either judge you or not believe
what you said, simply because they can't see physical effects of that illness.
I've heard many people say that someone with anorexia is just a diva and that
is trying to draw attention; I have also heard that someone with anxiety is
just nervous and that have to relax; etc. I have more examples but I don't
think it is necessary to explain them, you get what I mean.
I personally
think (and I think I am right) that mental illness are really hard, even harder
than some physical illness. The biggest problem I found is that you don't know
how to cure mental illness; anxiety is different in everyone, depression is
different in everyone and even anorexia is different in everyone. This fact
makes knowing how to cure or control mental illness really, really hard. I
don't wan to go into more detail as I think mental health is a really serious
topic and I am not prepared to talk about it in full detail.
“You are worth finding, worth knowing, worth loving.”
I've also
noticed that there is a lot of criticism, both online and in real life. People
feel free to critic other's life choices, every day decisions and even, and
that's how I see it, people's health issues. I am not saying (obviously) that
you can't do any time of criticism; I think Constructive criticism is really
useful and really necessary. However, there are many ways of making criticism
and that's what many people don't understand. Don't critic others by making
other people think they are completely wrong, make them see the small things
when they are not right and help them change that.
Related to
mental health, criticism has made people hide their illness which makes
recovering even more difficult.
I also
wanted to give a shutout to a few bloggers, which have talked about this two
things openly recently (Zoella and HelloOctober); things like that make a big
change.
