However, this is not normal and can become a very consuming. This week I talk about the reasons behind this negative guilt and tips based on personal experience that can be used to get better. #LifeWithMentalHarmony

This week we are talking about doing your bit by watching your words. As human beings we are a product of our environment. This automatically means we have a lot of internalised biases and stigmas and can be very judge people. Part of being mentally responsible to others, requires you to unlearn these habits and ensure that your bias does not play into your actions or words and hurt someone. #LifeWithMentalHarmony  

Emotional responsibility is a complex topic. Mainly because there is no blue print or one consistent way to go about it. It's all about reaching an equilibrium between emotional independence and emotional dependence. This week, I simplify emotional responsibility and talk about the benefits and problems of both being emotionally dependent and independent and how we can best navigate our interpersonal problems emotionally responsibly. 

This week we are talking about the difficulties when dealing with a partner with a mental illness and steps to navigate it. Dealing with a mentally ill partner can be very mentally challenging for you. The change in behaviour and dynamics can very easily ruin the relationships and even cause you mental instability. On this episode I give tips to help maintain and manage the situation to the best of your ability whilst making sure you remain healthy. 

This week we are talking about social media and the role it plays in your mental crisis. for a lot of people social media plays a different role from entertainment to them. There is inspiration and positivity but there is also a lot of negativity, comparison and that can get pretty overwhelming and affect your mental space detrimentally. We go into the problems people often encounter on social media and how to manage the problems that come with being on social media.
