High -functioning mental disorders kill our society

I opened the flow of my Facebook and saw positions that reject my feed, saying the same thing.

Rip, dead, dead, we will miss you.

My heart stopped. What the hell? The more I read, I came to understand the scary conclusion. One of my classmates in high school was dead. More specifically, he committed suicide.

Left everyone in a state of shock. No one saw it coming.

He was one of the happiest, funniest guys in class. Right;

Hides with a simple look

Does this sound known to anyone? It is not uncommon for people to lose a loved one and have no indication that they have even struggled to start.

Often, the people who appear the brightest and most funniest are the ones who are most struggling.

What do you imagine when you hear the word “depression?”

Imagine people who look blue and lonely. People who are isolated in their homes live isolated. They are in bed all day, accumulate under the covers.

This is far from what depression looks like. In fact, depression looks just like you and me. It’s because there is no look at mental health.

Mental illness is hidden with a simple look.

It seems that your friends, your neighbors and your partners. People around the world are struggling with mental health, but there is no one to look at it.

Often, it is hidden. Your friend underestimates a smile, but inside feels like they die.

Uncomfortable with depression

Mentally, sometimes it is like still living in the dark times. It is unusual to talk about your feelings. In general, they tell you not to feel your feelings.

We live around this narrative that feelings are for fools and a must Be strong, no matter how they feel.

This is a harmful and harmful narrative, but it is part of our society. He lives with us, within us, and perpetuates our beliefs and the way we live.

Is the belief that “Boys don’t cry, ” and “The girls are very emotionally. ”

“Both men and women should feel free to be sensitive. Both men and women should feel free to be strong … It’s time to perceive all sex in a spectrum not as two opposing sets of ideals.” – Emma Watson

Internally, you have been taught not to feel. Feelings make you weak. Emotions make you without spin. You can’t be strong and have emotions.

You should not feel, so you minimize your internal situations. You launch them, thinking it doesn’t matter.

Now, you are struggling with the fact that you don’t want to feel. You are struggling to turn off your feelings, but you can’t. You want to take it out, talk about it, get it out of your chest, but when you do, you judge.

The expression of your emotions can also make you a lean.

All of this only spread the problem.

You’re not supposed to feel, so you fight with your feelings. You are struggling with your feelings and you want to leave them out. You know that if you do this, it is unlikely to be taken well. You keep it in, letting the emotions arrive, until one day you blow up.

You could avoid the blatant together if it wasn’t taboo to talk about mental health.

I can’t recognize mental health

You know what it’s like to have depression. You know what it’s like to get up every day and go for your life.

It is a “high functionality” label as if it means the simple presence of a mental disorder that you cannot operate. Talking as a mental discomfort version is better than the other.

“At least you can get out of bed and go to work, right? ” It does not cancel your depression that you can act as a human being.

Your body was done to withstand hurricanes, earthquakes and hurricanes. Can survive some bad feelings. It seems like a big assumption that you are not incapable of your mental illness.

As the only way your mental illness is valid is if you deal with your incompetence.

Everyone hurts in their own way. You can’t say by looking at people and that’s the point. You can’t say on the basis of someone’s appearance whether it’s depression or not.

Depression does not have a look. It comes in all shapes and sizes.

Talk about it

We have to start discussing mental health. We have to stop pretending to be not real. We need to allow people to feel.

Depression and anxiety rates are increasing worldwide. Given the situation of the world, it is no surprise. This should not prevent the discussion. After all, it should open the doors of the conversation open.

The reason I talk about mental health is that it helps people feel less alone. When you know someone else hurts as you hurt, it hurts a little less.

Once you open and talk about it, the pressure begins to fade. Talking about it is like shining a light in the dark. Depression no longer has a place to hide.

Well, let’s talk and shine a light on it.
