There should be no shame in asking for help, the
shame is when we need help and cannot ask for it for fear of
social outcast and abandonment.

Our entire being depends solely upon our minds. If it weren't for
our mind to send signals to our body when we are exposed to
extremely hot temperatures for instance, then we could virtually
disintegrate into ashes. And how could we walk, talk, eat and
breathe if this magnificent brain failed to send the correct
signals?
![]() ![]()
But, indeed this same mind does have the capability to send wrong
information if it is not feeling well, therefore at these times it
cannot operate properly. Our bodies suffer at times with stomach ulcers,
heart disease, headaches, neck and shoulder pains, partly due to the
poor condition of our mental health when our minds are stressed out or
otherwise ill.

"Poor mental health" is the phrase that I choose to use because
that is exactly where some of our average physical
discomforts originate from. In fact we all have bouts of poor
mental health during times of grief like losing a loved one, which
sometimes results in poor physical health due to the stress that we are
under. An argument with someone we deeply care about might cause us
to become sad, lose our appetite, experience a heavy beating in our
chest or cause us to have headaches and other physical pains. Think
of it as a "mental viral domino effect".
![]() ![]()
An example of how this domino effect is triggered is negative
intake such as an employment rejection. This may be the third
application that you've submitted, only to be rejected again. The
bills are piling up while the funds are dwindling down. You're
facing foreclosure on your home soon and you see no light at the
end of the tunnel and chances are good that you have already fallen
into a deep depression.

This may cause fatigue, a loss of appetite and sleeping too much.
Your nerves are on edge and every noise that your children make
infuriates you, causing you lose your cool more quickly than you
normally would.

Your body has already begun to suffer with lack of exercise, the
wrong diet and different sleeping patterns and as a result of the
body feeling weaker and your deepening even further, making your
body even more ill as well.

This cycle can go on and on until you think you can't handle
anymore. But, suddenly the phone rings and upon answering, you hear the
voice of that forth employer with instructions of when to come to
work.
![]() ![]()
In a matter of minutes your body begins to rejuvenate with
adrenaline rushing through your veins, pumping energy that you
did not even have ten minutes ago. You're suddenly famished and as
you slide out of your grunges and prepare to go out on the town to
celebrate, the kids are even welcomed into the room to cheer for your
success. What happened? You did nothing physically different but you
feel so much better!
![]() ![]()
Ah, it was your mind that got the healing power! We all experience
poor mental health at different times of our lives so remember that you
have nothing to be ashamed of when your mind needs a healthy dose of
TLC. The shame is that we suffer alone in silence with major mental
discomfort because of the stigma that has been placed on mental issues
by our society.
![]() ![]()
Why would we brand such a marvelous, important part of our body as taboo
when it is ill, when we should really be nurturing this
troubled mind back to health? But have no fear, there is help
available for those who are suffering with confusion, and other
mental discomforts and feel that there is no way out of a life in
torment.
