recently i read in this forum people saying that their mental health is their priority. this really made me unsure (about myself) because it made me realize i have never consider my mental health as my priority. my initial thought when i read that sentence is “am i even allowed to?”
i have been taking online counseling for about a year (until now), and i have learned how to treat myself more gently than before. but i never think of it as my priority because i have always felt like im not supposed to. im just curious about how you guys felt, do you consider your mental health as your priority? what does that really mean? |

I think I need to start taking much better care of my mental health. I’m hard on myself and that takes a toll on a person after a while. Mental health is just as important as physical health.

I think if I didn't see my mental health as a priority I don't know exactly where I would be right now. I am really new in getting treatment and focusing on healing and things I have gone through in my life. I know I need these treatments and my therapist in my life.

Absolutely!!! My mental health determines how my life runs and contributes to my physical health.

I am taking one day at a time. I have had continuous stress for a long time.
I am making my health a priority. I also agree with LilyMop and Fuzzybear

I dont and havent. Ive experienced a lot of disassociation where I just let myself get under so much stress and pressure that I go numb for MONTHS. I will do fine during this period and then it's like my mind and body will try to "catch up" my lost emotions and feelings during that time because I end up having uncontrollable spells of crying for HOURS even at work. It is humiliating and I realized I have put work and jobs where they would replace me the second I leave above my mental health all together.

I absolutely do. I left my last job because it was taking too much of a toll on my mental well-being. If you're constantly so stressed that you can't function, what kind of life is that? Rather economize, be poor, and be happier.
Wishing you well....

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
