Mental Harmony

Today we are talking about mental illness relapses. In a time like this, which is really stressful and mentally exhausting, I though it would be helpful to talk about the topic of how easily one can relapse after recovering from a mental illness. This relapse is in fact normal and very common and definitely not something to be ashamed of. Over the years of managing your mental illness sometimes you can develop new triggers or be re-triggered by a previous by the same thing. I talk about triggers and signs to help identify a mental relapses. stay safe and stay home. #LifeWithMentalHarmony

This week we are talking about being overdependent on a romantic partner for your mental and emotional stability. Often times people become completely dependent on their partner for happiness because they are helping them out of a mental health crisis. As we all know no one person can supply you all the happiness you need and the volatility of relationships  make over dependency a recipe for disaster. 

This week we are talking about how to maintaining a positive mental space during this self isolation period. As we all know there has recently been a lot of chaos. This pandemic has the world spinning on its head and everything has come to a halt. We're all having to  stay at home for extended periods and that can be mentally exhausting. So I decided to share some tips to help stay positive and upbeat during this situation. 

This week we are talking about the role our parents play in helping us maintain balanced and healthy mental spaces. Since it was mother's day recently I decided to do an episode appreciating them for all the love and support we feel constantly and even talked about navigating these sometimes difficult relationships. Hope you enjoy the episode! #LifewithMentalHarmony. 

This week we're talking about therapy, I get into why people tend to shy away, the types and the many, many benefits. Therapy is something that many people consider scary or not for them even without trying, understandably because vulnerability and looking at yourself can be very difficult. But honestly I would say to try before you judge, you won't regret it. 

Today I and my special guest; Olorifits continue to talk about being vulnerable in your relationships and the major benefits of this. We also weigh in on why people may be very hesitant to open up to their loved ones and talk about our past experiences in relation to this topic. Go listen to part 1 first and i hope you enjoy it.

This week we're talking about comparison and how much of a negative effect it can have on your mental health. People intentionally and unintentionally make comparisons of people which sometimes stick and send them into depressive episodes. As part of our social contract we should all try to be mindful.

This week I get into how this all started for me, me realising I wasn't okay and the steps I took to feel better. More importantly realising it's okay not to be okay and finally being patient with myself. Not being okay is not uncommon, or negative. Give yourself time and watch yourself blossom again. 

Today we're talking about the role religion plays whilst dealing with mental issues. For a lot of people from black backgrounds they have been made to believe their mental health issues are just demons which need exorcism. That is in fact a lie and we talk about the danger that has posed to the health of the affected.
