Bcs mental health became very important to me the last few years I want to share what I´ve learned.
There're soo many "diseases" nowadays and doctors who diagnose ppl with anything.I think it's important to remember not to go crazy abt all that stuff and to realize that we can lose ourselves in that.

My experience:
I did some research by myself but I still believe it's okay to listen to professionals too. Doctors and psychiatrists have helped me a lot especially with Therapie but I try to remind myself that doctors in the past also said smoking is healthy so I try to always question a lot.
My therapist even told me being vegan is unhealthy (I mean I can blame him he's not a nutritionist neither am I but I know the necessary basics). I'm just saying to listen to yourself too and not to believe everything you hear and to be always suspicious.
First Ive been told that I have a schizoaffective disorder but the diagnose didn't fit to what I was feeling so it changed to bipolar with hard depression and also anxiety. I'm pretty sure I have some sort of social anxiety too but it was never diagnosed bcs I also don't visit Therapie rn that often anymore.
I don´t diagnose myself but I kind of wanna figure out the things that are going on in my mind and also physically. That's why I exercise, meditate and do all the work necessary to be in a better mental state.
From the point where even brushing my teeth was extremely exhausting I'm know a year later that I am at a completely different point of my live and I can say that I'm highly proud and confident abt that.

I left hospital early not bcs the doctors said I was ready but bcs I was tired of medication and just laying in bed I wanted to frkn live.
So I still do take medication but another amount. I'm on my way now to figure out what hormone imbalance I have and how to fix it with plant medicine. When I think abt last year.. I took 6-8 different meds...so for everyone who feels that way and is in a deep deep dark hole rn. YOU GOT THIS! And you'll get out of it sooner as you think. I would have never thought that I make this much progress in this short time that's amazing.
All the ppl that supported me and were by my side. I'm so so incredibly thankful for that! <3

The role of mental health in society:
Today society is way more understanding abt mental health but it still can be of course better. Ppl have to understand that chemical imbalance, hormones or just genes can make a huge impact on someones life and that mental health is as important as physical health bcs this also goes hand in hand.
Ppl often focus on one but everything is connected. We're all energy who are the same deep inside. We're not as different as most of the ppl think. That's a hugeeee lessons I was able to learn and I'm also so thankful for that!!!
I didn´t understand either that mentality is so necessary to have a good life I always thought hard work and "just staying positive" will get me to my goals. This is also important but living in an unrealistic world where everything is happy is just very fucked up (laughter abt myself).
I would have never thought that I'm a person who gets depression. I judged a lot which is the reason why I also ignored my feelings. I didn't wanted to understand it bcs my mentality was always "you're not allowed to be sad you have so much". Thoughts like that just destroyed me bcs I couldn't accept my emotions and thoughts.
Being optimistic is great but playing happy just ate me up from inside.
I really wanna spread the knowledge I've earned and listen to those who went through the same or who are on a higher level ob conscious being. I love to be inspired so I kinda wann share my experience too.
If you struggle with mental illness..Go to a professional right now! Do your self-work right now! Bcs I know I've waited very long and I was overwhelmed by my emotions who finally came out. I've never really took care of my mentality when I was a teenager bcs I just wanted to be busy and meet as much friends as I can and explore as much as I can. So I literally burned myself out with the stressful thought that I only have 1 chance. Reminding yourself that you'll die one day can be encouraging but according to my experience it was just stressful.

There's so much to talk abt but I can't put anything in one article. I'll post of course more on You-Tube bcs I'm also very passionate spirituality which also helped me with my mentality. Just trusting the universe instead of stressing myself out over dumb stuff.
If you're interested in mental health talk you can also text me on my socials so I know what you wanna see and what you wanna talk abt.
I am not a doctor but I have made a loot of experience which I think can help some ppl.
