Mental Health Month Blog Day

| 3 Comments

Today is Mental Health Month Blog Day, run by the American Psychological Association, to raise awareness towards mental health issues. My struggles were depression and anxiety.

What was yours? How can you help?

My blog is full of my rambles already. I just want to use this opportunity to remind people of the importance of mental health. Here are a few posts that might be useful in terms of seeking help and support. Otherwise, feel free to browse around for my experience, hope you find some inspiration.

My next venture, is how to help employee well-being through playfulness and creativity. Wish me luck.

I'm Blogging for Mental Health 2015.

    Hi Noch
    Congrats on the baby, though I know you have some stress. And congrats on the new direction. Glad to see you writing again.
    Not that I have any epiphanies from on high, but what I have found helpful lately is learning how to accept my thoughts, my ruminations, etc, rather than fighting them. Therefore they lose their power. It takes time, a lot of time. I stumbled across a guy named Noah Elkrief on Youtube. Pretty powerful stuff.

    Namaste from Houston
    Jim

      Thanks for the suggestion Jim, will look Noah up. And yess, I agree with you, I also find solace in my own ramblings, and to learn to embrace them as part of me instead of rejecting them! Noch Noch

    Life is not all rainbows. Sometimes life is crap. We spend time waiting, chasing, hoping, wondering… to no concrete results. People do not respond to emails. Things out of our control keep us in limbo. We get sick. We get tired. We do not reach the goals in our self-allotted time. Sometimes we wonder what…

    When i was pregnant, I said to myself, my baby should not get attached to a safety blanket or a teddy bear. Today, I wonder if I need to be so adamant, and if perhaps in depriving her of one, I am opening the doors for insecurity in her. Through my current studies of organizational psychology,…

    In 2007, I took a short holiday break with my high school best friend, Slo, to rejuvenate. She was one of those girls who would sleep through class and ace all the examinations. We hardly talked or emailed but we would see each other every now and then in different parts of the world, and…
