Surviving Another Day.... Mental Health Problems. The Taboo Subject.

Surviving Another Day.... Mental Health Problems. The Taboo Subject.

A Poem by Onlyme

I often wonder.
Why am I still here?
Am I here for a reason?

Particularly on bad days.

Days when I feel like giving
up and calling it quits.

Giving in and saying to hell
with it all.

I guess we all get days like those
days. If we manage to suffer those
moments and actually not give in
and ended it all.

But I carry on. And manage to survive
another day around the circuit of life.

Living life is not easy. When you suffer
from mental health issues in general.

Like depression, anxiety attacks. Let
alone other serious health problems.
If anyone suffers from them. On an
average day in a life.

But particularly when you are stressed and
overwhelmingly suffering from anxiety
and drama that does not help either.

I feel for anyone who suffers from Mental
Health Issues. As I know how hard, in general,
that is to deal with daily. Outwith the sigma
some people in general. Have towards mental
health problems at that.

Psychological problems are taboo subjects in
general. And most people never talk about them
. And that is sad. As those types of
problems. Should be spoke about and
understood better by the general community
at large.

It's only when someone starts to suffer from
one of the many problems. Do they then
relate to what it's actually like.

And they want some understand and respect.
How ironic is that and sad?
It took for them to be ill themselves
before they could relate.

Instead of having compassion and
sympathy before hand.

I suppose we should start with. Everybody has mental health problems to some degree.
They just cope in different ways. It's the not knowing is the problem. People won't talk about their mental health. But in reality, they should. I actually think we should have drop in centres for mental health problems. Just talking to someone is a great help. Well highlighted.

I think many people are yet to understand what mental health issues are....cause here if a person approaches to a psychologist than he becomes MAD for the society...that means you can't even scream out your pain nor you can help yourself out... A man having psychological problems and a man with mad behaviours are total different....I hope they find the inner peace without any hindrance. Also they may open up instead of taking their problems as taboo...
Thanks for sharing this one Dawn :)
