May is Mental Health month and I couldn’t be happier. This is gives us a chance to discuss probably the most important topic related to our own personal well being. My mental health has been a roller coaster. There are days when I’m happy and there are days when the cares of life overtake me. There are days when I feel depressed because of my own personal failures and there are other days when I have a positive attitude. Through all of it, I find great comfort knowing free will is an illusion. While I do not deny the mistakes I have made, I know if another person were in my shoes, grew up in my house, had my DNA, they would have made the same mistakes. It’s all about learning how to prevent mistakes.
I feel like I’ve finally grown up at the age of 43. That seems like a long time but if you knew where I came from and what I’ve gone through, you’d understand. I hope you all are making progress in your own mental health lives too!

Thank you for your reply. Yep, life does that to us sometimes. If I may, I encourage you to stop watching the news and avoiding anyone and anything in your life that brings on destructive thoughts. Sleep 6-8 hours per night, adhere to a healthy diet, and exercise. Good luck to you my friend!

@sciguy24 @burtsplurt I’m so sorry that you’re both suffering and struggling! I wish I could take it all from both of you!
I’ve been struggling off and on a little bit lately, mainly because of my health issues; ending up in the hospital from Thursday through today didn’t do much to help. Although using my nitroglycerin and getting to the ER in time kept me from having another heart attack, so that’s awesome! While generally joyful, pain and confusion sometimes rear their ugly heads. I try to let myself feel these moments so I can move on and they don’t get stuck. Since before I was born, people, circumstances, and my congenital disease have literally tried to end me (hence my C-PTSD). I must remember that nothing has worked at taking me out yet, so I must be kind of strong and maybe even here for a reason. I’m just trying to figure out what that might be. I’m lucky; I’ll be okay. I just have to let myself feel that I am not okay sometimes.
