yeah,.... mental health.... the state of our minds..... not the best subject to deal with or face.... and its a hidden aspect of any person.....
but what is mental health.....????
well its the same thing as the health of our bodies.... except its our heads...lol
there is one thing that i see a lot in bisexuals, and that is forms of depressions, mainly mild depression....yet most of us are not aware of it...
depression is not that simple to pinpoint or diagnosis..specially in ourselves... depression has more forms than we often think... and depression is not a bisexual exclusive thing either.... animals and people can get it...
bisexuals can be prone to mild depression, as we deal with mind and mood swings, and the changes between hetero / partly gay to mainly gay / partly hetero and all the areas in between
what we generally call our * bad days * can be a form of mild depresssion, but that doesn't mean we need a heap of pretty pills and tablets that would choke a horse.......it simply means, we are reacting normally to changes that affect us
that * down * feeling that lasts a couple of day, the tiredness, a struggle to concentrate, a lil more emotional than normal, loss of sexual desire and a struggle with sexual performance, can be signs of mild depression.....tho depression can have a few more severe symptoms as well, but they are generally connected to more severe forms of depression
a health brain needs exercise, so they tell us
can you imagine taking your brain for a run around the block..... or saying to somebody " hell, I bench pressed 1000 pounds with my cerebellum "... lol
now unlike physical exercise, and pulling a ham string or throwing ya back out... its harder to exercise your brain and tell if you * pulled * a brain cell connection or * threw out ya motor neuro connections *
and so we need mental exercises like memory tests, and brain teaser puzzles....and we need to rely on the same brain to tell us if that brain is not responding the way it should..... and thats why we struggle to see mild depression in ourselves ......
it is estimated that 1 in 3 people will or do suffer the effects of mild depression.... thats high odds.......but if you consider what we deal with everyday.... its not high at all
the thing is its OK to have mild depression at times.... its not a sign of weakness, instability, insanity.......the pressure on us to be constantly smiling and positive is like asking everybody to be super model slim, and perfect.... its just not gonna happen
the struggle we face as we try to come to terms with our bisexuality, then living our lives as bisexuals, is a hard one, and all too often, we are given the impression that once we come out, its all good... we get sex, and smile.....but we are not told about the sexuality swings, the sexual urges and the stress of trying to balance two sexual paths in the same body
thats when we can suffer bouts of mild depression....
the first thing to do, is NOT get worked up about having mild depression....the last thing you wanna do is add more stress to yourself.....so you wanna do the reverse and say ok, it looks like i am dealing with mild depression....damm, thats gonna put a few wrinkles in my day... but ok....i need to try not to stress out
you are gonna be like a 6 cylinder car, trying to run on 4.5 cylinders there for a while.... lol....
now you can decide if you wanna get a lil help from a doc or a specialist or go at it alone.....its very possible that once you recognize the signs of mild depression, that you will see a pattern and may well decide that you can do it on ya own, or that you need a lil extra help.... either way its ok
you may also think about telling others that you experience bouts of depression.....now a lil secret is NOT to feel like a person with a weakness..... sure you have depression at times, but you can also tell people about the positive as well
" yeah i suffer from mild depression at times ... but you wanna see me suffer from mild happiness... I grin like a fool for days, for no reason " lol
the most harmful thing to any person dealing with mild depression, is not the depression.... its the people that don't understand that its mild depression, and not psychotic tendencies... you are not gonna grab a knife or a gun... just a squeezy toy or a punching bag.....
many people don't understand the nature of depression and to them, i simply say, its like a broken heart.... it knocks you about.....but its not something that you are able to deal with over night...it just takes a lil time, and a lot of understanding and patience
tho depression in all its forms is classed as a mental health issue.... it DOESN'T make you mentally deranged.... the correct term is mentally ill.... and I dislike even that term cos it makes it sound like your brain has a bad case of the flu and that its terminal
I generally say to people, that they deal with depression, and thats cool, but I admire the aspects of their mental abilities that show thru, and so i don't see them as mentally ill.... but having a brain fart day....
so its ok to have bad days, and its ok to have mild depression and other forms of brain farts.....
its like safe sex, its good to protect your body and their body..... but its also good to protect your own mental state of mind.... and sadly condoms don't work in that way.....so in the same way as saying, know your body... you need to know your mind... and your emotional state of being....
and these are some of my fav sayings
sex is a wonderful thing..... but its best to fuck with bodies and not heads
if happiness is a state of mind..... then with the state of my mind, i'm gonna laugh myself to death
i love being insane.... that way I fit in with the rest of the human race
I am not mentally challenged..... I just lowered my IQ level 100 points to match your IQ
there is no such thing as damage.... just brains made in taiwan
i also get a second opinion... I just ask my multiple personalties
so if you feel you are mildly depressed, or feel/ know that you have some other form of * brain fart *, smile.....it makes you unique....not subhuman.....
and believe it or not.... about 1/3 of the human race is walking in your shoes.... you are not alone * grins *
