R U Ok day

[bvs]

Here in Oz, September 12th is "R U OK?" Day (as far as I know it's just an Aussie thing?). It's a day where we remind each other to check in and ask our family, friends and even strangers about their mental health, offer them support and spread the good message.

So my question to you all is: R U OK?

But if you want the truth, my day has been one of the shittiest I've had in a long time... Maybe the worst... Idk.

My brain is a quart low on cognitive functioning, my body feels like I been ran over by a truck, other than that keeping a good attitude wins the day. Thanks for asking.

My family tells me that they love me, and my dog wags her tail and comes running to me every time I come home, so I'm doing just fine.

Hope you're OK too bud.

For those of you not doing as well today, hope your day improves quickly.

I'm sick and inundated with work, but things are overall pretty good here.

 

[Boogieman]

To be honest, I have been better! Today is actually probably one of the worst I have had In a while. However with that being said I can look forward and I know theres good things to come! Life goes on and so will I!

I've always thought it odd, the stigma placed on mental health issues. No one judges ye for heading to the doctor to get a check-up. Fook, my GP sends me "we miss ye" cards to get me to come back into the office. But someone shares they're seeing a psychologist and people view them differently. Men in particular - that 'Baby Boomer' mindset that we're not supposed to experience emotions and god forbid we talk about 'em if we do. Like surely mental health issues can be 'cured' just by denying them and powering through them because the physical symptoms are often internalized. The pressure to put on a mask and just "be fine" even if yer not surely exacerbates the underlying issues.

Good on ye BVS for the thread. Hoping one day people sharing how they're dealing with anxiety or depression becomes as normal as sharing how ye caught strep throat and are taking a z-pack fer it.
