You know in my house we are very aware of mental health and how easy it is to end up in a bad place without knowing how to get out. The young adults coming through now are worse off than we ever were with the constant
media attached to the end of their arms and with Mental Health Departments closing countrywide, we as their constants need to be aware of how to help ourselves and others.
Here are 7 myths regarding some mental health issues I have found for your perusal.
The more I speak to people the more I find that the people who haven't had any mental health issues in the past are few and far between but most of us think that it is something to be ashamed of. The only way this is going to change is by talking about our experiences with others and let the younger generation know that it is GOOD to talk; that it is good to have bad days so you know when you are having a great day. Boys, in particular need a male
role model who they feel they can open up to and not feel ashamed to cry.
At Underground we love a good cry, it is positively encouraged and it is good for the soul. Someone once told me that tears were just words the soul couldn't find the words for. I LOVE that!
