How many ways does mental health affect our lives? If you do not deal with depression, anxiety, MPD, Bipolar, and any number of other "negative" types of mental health, the affect upon your life is generally a positive outlook, seeing rainbows in spite of the darkness. You most likely glide through difficult life moments with a good nature and a smile.
However, if you have any of the before mentioned "stigmas", then there are likely a thousand ways in which they affect your daily living. When I wake up in the mornings, I often have to talk myself into getting out of bed. I don't want to face the day and all that might appear. That's depression helping me. I've already mentally organized my day a million times starting the day before. So, when something not on the list happens, anxiety steps in to assist. Simple things, maybe the dogs want to go out early and other things have to happen after. Well, simple as it may well be, now my day seems to be spiraling out of control quicker than I can complete a thought.
Things like this occur everyday, all throughout the day for me. I have learned a lot of tricks to get through these events. Deep breaths, counting, nature, call someone. However, at the end of the day and the end of every attack, there's always one thing that holds me together as I get through the day. Love. Unconditional. Nonjudgmental. Love is stronger than any hand, word, emotion that I could possibly think of and there's not near enough of it in our daily lives.
Please, whom ever you care for, however much or little, let them know daily that they are loved. Let them know that the lack of their presence would impact your life. Let them never wonder how you feel about them.
My rainbow recently, my friend who has only loved me and expected nothing else from me. I cannot repay that except to say that I love you.
All My Love, Me
