Hi. I've just attended a talk about World Mental Health and I've learned some things about it. So I just wanted to share this information with everyone. Hope that you are coping well with everything too.

Cheers

Oops. I forgot to add this...

These are some ways to take care of your mental health:



talking about your feelings

keeping active

eating well

drinking sensibly

keeping in touch with friends and loved ones

asking for help when you need it

taking a break

doing something you’re good at and enjoy

accepting who you are

caring for others

Its funny how I'm expressing my sorrows here, but anyway, I'm just feeling down today. Because my memories are back to haunt me. Memories of betrayal.

I hope by now that those memories have subsided and that you have found a way to deal with them - memories are hard things - they can comfort or destroy, calm or make you feel like you are going crazy - I try to hang onto the good ones and tell myself that the bad ones are only memories - that i survived them then and i can now because they are not happening now - but it sucks when the bad ones have a hold of you :( I hope that you have founbd a good memory to hold onto - take care :hug: P7

Hey

Thank you for your reply. It's good to see someone reply when I'm feeling really down. Yeah I think that what you've said is true, holding onto the good and forgetting the bad. It's just that sometimes, the mind keeps remembering the bad things. Weird. So I'm trying hard to counter the bad thoughts.

Thanks anyway :)
