I had watched quite a number of medical & mystery series this few years. I realised that the world had gotten sick. Simply to put into words, for example in Criminal Minds, they had run for 15 years straight & fill with different cases that mostly due to mental health.
I am not a doctor to educate and advise. Just from a layman opinion.
so what is mental health ? && why it is so important ?
Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being.
It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood .
From 2010, we can see the rise of social media like twitter, facebook and even instagram. Leave alone video channel like youtube & vine. This not only increase positively like additional job created, social influencer as well as public awareness but birth of tons of keyboard warrior that influenced emotions and psychologically.
It is almost impossible to see a celebrity's instagram without negative comment below it. What on earth had they done so wrong to us until they deserve all the hate? Clearly, with 1000 love & only 1 hate, we are prone to remember the harsh. That's human nature.
In Malaysia for example, it always easier to give example based on my own surrounding. Yuna had lead to exemplary example to our music industry & not to leave our own Dr Amalina Che Bakri which she is an excellent and remarkable icon that can be look up to. She indeed a beauty with brain, in other word a stylish surgeon. She gave medical advice thru her twitter. Instead, those extra free-time warrior decided to bash on their attire more than their achievement that should be followed by youngsters .
End of last year, one kpop artist commit ed suicide due to depression despite all the fame, looks and wealth, he felt that he was not talented enough. This is indeed an unhealthy mental health. but we have to realise, in order to have unhealthy mental health there will be something polluting an healthy mind. This can also be continuous bash & negative remarks that lead to low self esteem.
As for me, as i cam basically at the bottom of my life, after i resigned to take care of my late father. Employment opportunity dont even make their appearance. Sometimes, i wonder is this the end for me?
Luckily for me, with supporting family & friends. I dont feel left out.
After all, i realised that rizq is subjective. Allah will give something we need.
Just believe in Allah.
Everything will be fine.
It is important to give support & not judgement to those needed.
It is not rocket science to sit back & listen. Lend an ear to a story or two wont cost you a cent.
They need support .
They need love.
They need to know that they are not alone.
Who knows, we might need the support too in the future.
We clearly not Paris Hilton's chihuahua that are free of problem & live in luxury.
Problems & breakups might come in our lives.
So be there.
Support.
&& dont judge.
