How do your disabilities affect your mental health? I am bi polar so it affects my mental health very much! The constant ups and downs are so exhausting and at times I feel very defeated. It's difficult to have so many emotions and feel them so serverly all the time!
What do you do to improve your mental health? To improve my mental health I meditate, exercise (walk), listen to calming music (mostly piano for me!), and use aromatherapy (essential oils).
What do you think of your current mental health status? Currently my mental health staus has greatly improved! I've been getting a lot of help for a while (mainly therapy) and I get so much support from my family and friends so it makes it easier to get through the really hard days.
@baylinAnderson123 hey baylin, first of all I understand the up and downs are exhausting and made you feel defeated. It is difficult to cope with so many intense emotions.
I'm glad you have a supportive network, therapy and aroma oils work well for you. That's wonderful!
❤️
@kindSoul10 Thank you so much! Have a beautiful day!
@baylinAnderson123 thank you! ❤️ You too!
@AffyAvo My mental health is affected by overthinking too much about things i can't do, mostly when i read something scary in the media, despite it isn't correct and verified. For example, i read that hearing loss can lead to depression, but it isn't always true. Also people with hearing loss can be happy and mentally healthy. I need to focus on positive and on what i can, not what i can't.
@gentleSun78 I'm happy you want to focus on the positive things. Some news can be depressing and always true. People make different experiences and it's good to remind ourselves overthinking things can be unproductive.
