How to Deal With Your Mental Health Battles

Mental health isn’t just a topic I discuss—it’s deeply personal. Having lost close friends to suicide, I know how overwhelming it can feel when the weight of life gets too heavy. Here are some principles that have helped me navigate these internal battles, and I hope they can help you too.

1. Acceptance

Accepting your situation, no matter how hard it feels, is the first step. Whether you're facing financial hardship, relationship issues, or personal struggles, accepting where you are right now helps you stay present and make clearer decisions moving forward.

2. Stop Blaming

Blaming others, or even yourself, keeps you stuck in negativity. It's easy to hyper-focus on what went wrong, but remember: when you point fingers at someone else, three fingers point back. Instead of fixating on the past, channel that energy into understanding the situation.

3. Self-Reflection

Ask yourself, “Why do I feel this way? What led me here?” Think of it like trying to understand a tough problem. Sometimes you'll realize you missed the warning signs, didn’t prepare well, or maybe there's nothing you could’ve done. Either way, reflection helps you learn and grow.

4. Move On

Once you’ve accepted, stopped blaming, and reflected, the weight starts to lift. Moving on becomes easier when you've processed things. You begin to see solutions and paths forward, and the burden feels lighter.

5. Seek Help

If these steps don’t bring you relief, remember—problems are meant to be shared. You don't have to face this alone. It's okay to reach out for help. Whether it's a trusted friend or professional support, talking to someone can make a world of difference.

Remember

It's okay to cry, to feel pain, and to take your time. But also know that you don’t have to carry these struggles alone. If you need personalized support, reach out. Your mental health is important, and help is available when you're ready.
