 | Being cognizant of your mental health daily, preferably each moment, is mental health awareness (#mentalhealthawareness). Pause. Assess by asking yourself:
The answers to these questions give you the opportunity to be completely in tune with how you are feeling and how that is impacting your actions and choices. |
Reflect on these questions:
Often, clients tell me they don’t want to burden their family or friends with their issues. Therefore, they keep their pain inside. When we bury our pain, it grows in our minds but manifests externally in destructive ways (such as over/under eating, isolation, excessive sleeping, lack of participation in enjoyable hobbies, yelling or arguing with others, violence, excessive drinking, drug usage, suicidal ideation – just to name a few examples).
It can be difficult to ask for help (from a professional counselor or from family/friends), but people are not supposed to live in isolation! Most people want to help other. Surrounding yourself with quality help and support is a necessary part of a healthy mental health journey. If you need help with anxiety, depression, anger, and/or relationship issues, contact Bree today for your free phone consultation before we schedule your initial session.
- When am I most likely to make poor decisions?
- What situations cause me to experience negative thoughts?
- How do I handle emotional pain?
- Do I need help making different choices or responding differently (especially to stressful situations)?
