Greater #MentalHealth understanding is good, but it can only go so far without mental health *understanding*
Hence you should read 'Psycho-Logical', all about the science of mental health, by Dean Burnett
Manche Menschen glauben immer noch, dass sich Depressionen mit Schoki und Sonnenschein heilen lassen.
Wer Depressionen nicht ernst nimmt, hat noch immer nicht verstanden, dass wir von einer Krankheit sprechen, welche im schlimmsten Fall tödlich enden kann. Oftmals bekommt das Umfeld rein gar nichts von der Krankheit mit. Achtet auf Eure Mitmenschen.
Wusstest du, dass viele #Suizide verhindert werden könnten? Eine Forscherin fordert bessere Präventionsmethoden & Aufklärung, um die Zahl der Betroffenen zu senken. Lasst uns offen über psychische Gesundheit sprechen & Hilfe suchen!

“It's no coincidence that the Trump Administration and his Republican surrogates drastically reduced funding for mental healthcare and removed barriers to ill people accessing firearms. This chaos is what it thrives upon, traffics in, and desires. In an environment populated by emotionally fragile and mentally unhealthy people, it's much easier to act without accountability..”

I don't think you think of Science Fiction often when thinking about Lars Von Trier. Yet, his 2011 masterpiece Melancholia is one of, if not the best, science fiction film(s) ever.

“People in Sweetwater perceived mental health as, like, you’re lower. They always thought you should just be happy. It was like you had to be a functioning person with depression, and I couldn’t do that every day.” https://www.texasobserver.org/mental-health-crisis-rural-texas/
Hey, ich bin neu hier.
Ich schreibe über mentale Gesundheit, weil sie mich selbst, meinen Alltag und meinen Job betrifft. Vielleicht auch mal über meine #Katzen.
Ich habe jetzt lange darüber gegrübelt, ob ich wirklich auf absenden klicken soll.
Dementsprechend bin ich etwas nervös. 
Ich freu mich auf Austausch.
#Anxiety and #depression are two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS, and I wish prescribers could tell the difference.
I'm 43 and this Friday I'll be taking my first ever flight to see my cousin get married. I would say I'm scared, but if it crashes and I die that'll solve all my problems and if it doesn't I'll get to see some friends and my cousin start a new chapter. Win win? #flying #mentalhealth #anxiety #depression
Feeling very blah, unmotivated, and uninspired today. Anything I try to pass the time doesn't last for any real length of time and nothing really sounds good to me
Basically just describing the symptoms talked about in 00s antidepressant medication ads.
- mit einer Freundin in Ruhe einen Tee getrunken,
- etwas aufgeräumt, damit mein Schlafzimmer gemütlicher ist,
- jetzt werde ich eine Entspannungsübung versuchen
- und wenn das nicht klappt, schaue ich einfach meine Serie weiter

So, I wrote this as the opening part of a short story, but I believe it may resonate with folks who have had to deal with depression.
"Everybody gets sad," they say, "but most people are never depressed."
True depression is not something you can understand if you haven't experienced it. It's not just an emotion; it's your whole body. There is a heaviness to the world around you. Ask a depression sufferer about the weight of being of being conscious, of breathing, walking, eating, going to the bathroom, of thinking about all of it. Ask them about the inertia. You've sat down, now try to get up. You've started walking, now try to turn back. You've started crying, now try to stop. Ask them about the isolation brought by the film that sits between them and the rest of the world, about the bubble they live in where color drains, sound dampens, touch never quite reaches. Ask them how their food tastes. Ask them what they dream about at night. Ask them the hardest question of all: "why are you depressed?"
"If I knew that, I wouldn't be depressed."
Nearly half of depression diagnoses could be considered treatment-resistant https://flip.it/2vrmeh #depression #mentalhealth #ketamine #psychedelics
Kennt ihr das? Es hat sich z.B. im Haushalt allerlei angesammelt. Dann kommt etwas Motivation z.B. durch einen angekündigten Besuch. Oder ihr habt eine eigene Methode, euch zumindest phasenweise zu motivieren.
Trotzdem kommt ihr nur schleppend voran. Ihr schaut auf die Uhr. Ihr schaut auf das, was noch zu tun ist. Ihr bekommt ein Unwohlsein in der Magengegend.
Und dieses verkörperte schlechte Gewissen sorgt dafür, dass es noch schleppender voran geht. Was wiederum das Unwohlsein verstärkt. Undsoweiterundsofort.
Talmud (Sanhedrin 37a): “Whoever saves a single life is considered by scripture to have saved the whole world entire.
If you find yourself in that dark place please know you are loved and help is available. You deserve to feel better and you are NOT alone in that pain.
