So, let's talk about mental health. These days people have had it with the world, and could you blame them? We in a society filled with hate, abuse, and violence. While we try to see change within the world it is hard when change is not there. However, we need to discuss how your mental health is doing with this quarantine.
How are you feeling today?
Are you feeling mad? Sad? Are you feeling tired about all these news? You're justified to have an off day, you are okay to feel selfish. Do not let someone downplay your feelings because you are entitled to your emotions. It is okay to feel not okay.
Did you eat?
Did you eat a full meal? No skipping. We need some carbs and whatever you want, go crazy. I think we can all admit that we had our fair share of binge eating. So, if you have not had a meal today go to your kitchen and whip up a quick meal. Don't ignore your body!
Have you planned a self-care day?
This can be from reading your favorite book when it's thundering to putting different face masks on? (Please watch out for your skin). Try watching the show you said you'll watch five months ago. I know you probably have a long list of all the Netflix shows you want to binge. I would say watch Friends, but they're are better options out there.
Try a new nail polish. We are barely going out (I hope) but, try new looks with your nails and show them off in your next zoom meeting or day with friends.
These are just a couple of questions you should ask yourself. Mental health is more important than ever. We might be in trying times but that does not mean we can let ourselves spiral. If you feel any depressive thoughts, or feel your mental health is not taken serious. Please contact mental health hotlines or locations to gain the proper healthcare you need.
You are important. You are one, but one one in a million. Take care of yourselves and those around you.
