Greetings...
Today we are continuing our open discussion on Mental Health... Oh boy did I get some feedback.... Thank you everyone... This lets us know that Mental Health is a topic that is needed in today's society...
Self Admittance... Being able to identify with oneseelf is very important. Again I say, you are not crazy nor are you dysfunctional, you are a human being that at some point in your life came in contact with something/someone that offset you mentally.
On yesterday, a viewer pointed out that although mental health is real, it is more taboo in the African American society opposed to other cultures. I personally agree. Why? We as a race of color have been taught for years to supress our thoughts, feelings, and knowledge. Which in turn caused us to bottle up our emotions. Which resulted in silent frustration that sometimes led to DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, and PTSD..
Sure, there are other cultures that endure the same teachings, but speaking from the standpoint as an African American Woman, it is so prevalent in our culture than others. We have for many years been restricted to remain silent, walk slow, and never question... So not cool...
But, its a new day, its a new way, and I'm feeling good...
Expressing one's insight to particular situations is another step to healing. Being able to express verbally one's insight is truly a great way to obtain the road of recovery. Now I'm not suggesting that you speak without thinking. Absolutely not. I am merely suggesting that one should be able to express verbally in a manner that frees one's mind from any unnecessary trauma without being confrontational.
So with that being said, what are you thoughts pertaining to the comment listed above?...
Open Discussion...
Let's Talk About It
... and as always
Peace and Blessings 😉
