We all live with mental illness whether we have a mental condition or we know others living with mental illness. Whether some of us like it or not, mental health and mental illness is real and is part of reality. It has been for centuries.

Most of society has been in denial, ignorant, rude, selfish, uneducated, closed-minded, stubborn and blind to what real damage they are doing to our society and our world! They wonder why the suicide rate is so high at times and never think as to what they may have done to contribute to those rates.

If you want change in any area of life, you must educate yourself and analyze the whole area and section you’re focusing on and see what you can do to make a change. But a lot of the times, we must start with ourselves. As what Michael Jackson has inspired in “Man In The Mirror”:

I’m starting with the man in the mirror. I’m asking him to change his ways. And no message could have been any clearer. If you wanna make the world a better place, take a look at yourself, and then make a change

  • Everyone has a song in their playlist which they always skip but never delete.

Things that keep you up at night: loneliness, cold, heat, hunger, late night texting, memories, over thinking, worries, the internet.

A lot of problems in the world would disappear if we talked to each other instead of talking about each other.

Most of your depression is caused by over-thinking.
