    Simply help by listening and showing love in whatever way fits your loved one best. It means sooo much to us. Therapy plus medication. With successful therapy and support system, the medication is slowly decreased in strength and then stopped. There’s a huge misconception that you’re supposed to take a pill daily for the rest of your life. We all need to Be kind, open minded, non-judgmental, and better humans

    This was absolutely amazing! What struck me the most is offering to go with them. In my case, when I'm struggling the most, I have difficulties doing anything by myself. That can mean a struggle going to the grocery store, medical appointments... even just making the appointments can be hard. Just sitting outside I feel so exposed. The things that will help the most are so very difficult to do.
    Having someone by my side makes a tremendous difference. Thank you for doing this video!

    This is beautiful, has anyone ever noticed how, people, myself included ☺️ with mental health issues are so switched on, and majority of the time, are kinder, intelligent and quite often feel the world rather than see it, is this increased empathy a common thread or just the case for some. I was born unable to hate, I have talked to my psychologist on Wether or not this was somehow a learned behaviour, but from as young as 9, someone saying I hate you to anyone would send me into a furious lecture mode, mostly at school. Bullying and other kids being mean became my personal bane. I remember 2 occasions in grade 3 where kids came to me to stop an argument, because I took it more seriously than the teachers. Along with it though is that outrage disappears fast...in my mind...once the actual problem is over it's like it never ever happened, and a 52 I am still the same, from school, to being slapped around by my ex, having my house broken into and purse stolen by my daughter in-laws sister, and many things worse and smaller in between, are all equal in severity to me, I have not only forgiven automatically everything that's ever been done, it also feels like it was never done, feels like. I logically know, but I don't feel it. I've learnt a lot over the years as far as boundaries, I have no problem saying no to things if it's for a loving reason. But it still remains a mystery and keeps me away from real people. I have noticed extra kindness from most people going through mental health issues and many not putting themselves first 🦋💞💞💞💙💙💙🐨🇦🇺🦘🙏🤗.

Keep in mind that there are good people in this world who you haven't discovered yet. Try going to a church to make new friends. Ignore your family, they can often be the root of the problem! Very unfortunate but too often true. Believe in yourself and your God given talents...the Lord created you for a Devine purpose. Use your talents to help others or teach others. Avoid your critics ❤❤❤

    Mental health is about "overload"... is about not being able to manage "weight/pressure"... in any case, people need to be able to release & decompress.... therefore, DONT DO ANYTHING!!!, people are not machines that can be fixed replacing parts... they need CONTAINMENT, and SAFETY to get out of the "edge".
    Just BE THERE, for them, and understand....you'll have to TAKE from them (listening, being patient, don't force trough silence, etc)
    Mental and emotional recovery is much slower than the physical. HOWEVER, don't do, 2 things ... Don't proyect your own strength on them (you'll become frustrated and impatient), & don't become an "emotional crutch".

    For me what helps is if you encounter physical thought make it mental, it is easier to get over. For example if you see heavy object you can always use mental ability to imagine this object. There are different type of thoughts, physical thoughts can not be overcome without making thought mental. It is IMPOSSIBLE!!

The professional can’t help you they just pump you full of highly addictive drugs, like Valium for anxiety ! And antidepressants. If you take personal responsibility for your state of being then a solution can be found, by actively choosing to change your life through your actions. I see suicidal addicts recover, many of whom were depressed and have underlying conditions like adhd autism and bipolar.

    This is such a joke. 99% of all mental problems come from a bad diet. Bad diet leads to bad environments, and then we have diseases that these so called specialists like to make super complicated. But really all that people need to do is eat/drink right so they can sleep right. And then of course one needs to be in a job where one is truly happy. But all of this will naturally come to you once you have done the diet 100% right. People just want a pill to take together with an excuse that they cannot be changed because they are just unlucky.
    The whole system is a joke, they don´t serve patients. They serve customers. And especially psychiatrists they are not needed at all. Psychologist maybe, doctors a hell of a lot more.
    But people need to wake up and understand that they cannot live in the City and be happy wearing plastic clothes and having deodorants on them while not drinking water or getting fresh air and getting a regular massage.
    We are living creatures, not machines. And so the only problem is the lifestyle, not any scientific or psychiatric point of view.
    Also, no doctor is telling their the true secret to recovering so you don´t need them. And that is to ONLY eat your 1-3 meals in a 6 hour window per day circa 10am to 4pm. That makes everybodies immune system like 2-3x stronger, that is one of the biggest secrets in this world to getting over all kinds of physical/mental problems.
    Conclusion: our diet regulates our mood/feelings so that everything in life gets better. It is the cement our life is built on. People don't just have a feeling or depression that is hurting them, what I described is the solution, it is the thing creating the mental/physical viewpoint that we hold to be real, it is just hard to break the locked environments that we live in, in order to do what I suggested.
    Spread the message in order to create better lives for people!

      Are you kidding me with this comment. I’ve been struggling for quite sometime and you’re over here saying Jesus saves. Answers like that is what make the situation worse. If it was that easy we who deal with it on a daily basis wouldn’t be as unable to function. “Oh Jesus please save me”, that’s not how it works. Clearly you didn’t watch the video. One size does not fit all. Man you need to grow up

      You have such a powerful mind, but beneath your mind is a beautiful, limitless being.
