There is no one on this planet who does not go through stress or some other sort of mental discomfort. However, there are very few who do actually make sure that their mental health is fine. You are also making a big mistake if you don’t check up on your mental health from time to time because closeted issues are scarier than the ones out in the open.
If you can not see it does not mean it is not there, mental health is usually disregarded because it does not impact one physically. It is very important to understand that mental health is just as important as one's physical health, however, due to lack of awareness not many know what the basic check-ins or signs indicate whether you are mentally well or not.
In order to find out whether you are mentally fine or not ask yourself a few questions, How am I feeling today? What is on my mind? Is the thought clouding my mind bothering me too much? Am I providing my body with its basic needs? What am I doing these days to bring joy to myself?
Remember, you need to be honest to yourself in order to make sure whether you are at your best or not (mentally). You should know yourself the best, make sure not to miss the signs, your body will try to tell you, make sure you catch on and not take it lightly.
Long-lasting sadness or irritability
Extremely high and low moods
Excessive fear, worry, or anxiety
Social withdrawal
Dramatic changes in eating or sleeping habits
In times like these when everyone is busy amongst themselves, make sure you are the first person who is there for you, prioritising yourself and your overall well-being over anything else is very necessary for a sound mind and body.
Normalising mental health issues and not settling with them is very important for every individual. Although it is necessary that your loved ones are fine too before that make sure you are fine, as change starts from within.
