Mental Health group 3 days, 2 hours ago "Are You Really Here?"
Samantha AnthonyDear Mental Health,
I wanted to reach out and ask, “Do you exist?” Growing up, I experienced difficulties in school, and I understand that not everyone grasps things right away. But why did you have to bring us the gift of different emotions?
I know that these illnesses, as you refer to them, affect everyone, but do they come in different categories? Are they randomly assigned to each person out there? These are questions I’m eager to understand, but perhaps that’s the mystery, isn’t it? Why are some of us chosen to face these challenges? I never asked for them, and I’ve always wondered if I could have been given different conditions. Perhaps that would have led to a different life for me—who knows?
Thank you for considering my thoughts.
Your questions reflect a deep and thoughtful exploration of mental health. It’s understandable to question the complexities of emotions and challenges. Mental health conditions aren’t “gifts” or randomly assigned; rather, they’re intricate interactions of genetics, environment, and life experiences. While there are different categories, each individual’s experience is unique and valid. It’s brave to acknowledge these feelings, and seeking understanding is a powerful step. Remember, you are not alone, and support is available to help you navigate your journey. Your strength in asking these questions is a testament to your resilience.
