Yo, that's a difficult task, you know, because mental health come with a lot of negatives. But I think it's up to the mental health community to break the stigma by all the great work they've been doing over the years. And, you know, able to overcome a lot of it and show, you know, I think that the community itself is breaking the stigma.

I don't think we can or should break the stigma or stigmata of mental health. I think the onus is on the person to try to hide their sickness, either with medication or coping mechanisms, because the layman will never understand or accept certain kinds of behavior, and that's normal.

The most protected, legally protected information in the world is your healthcare record, which includes your mental healthcare. You're not supposed to share that information with just anyone, because people will not understand nor accept. Back in the day when cancer was new, diseases were new, people were afraid of catching cancer from you. Don't tell people.

Who is entitled to know specifically your mental health condition? People like your employers who have to accommodate you. Very close family members, partners, but not just anybody. And you're not going to be around just anybody for very long anyway.

Another great soundbite, we can do the simple things by asking ourselves how am I today, each day, and then think to ourselves, well who's not okay? It'll get our minds thinking that wow, there are people who are not okay as much as I am.

One last note about mental health, one in four or five people in the United States have some form of mental disorder. It can be an anxiety disorder, it can be schizophrenia, there's a range of disorders, and some of them you will never ever know. And that's okay, you don't have to know. But you need to be aware that this is common among our human race, and we should be compassionate about it as much as we can be about it.

Yeah, I kind of agree with what Kof said, because it was a period of time where, well we have the internet now, that's another thing that I think makes it easier to have these conversations about mental health anyway, but there was a period of time when no one was really talking about it like that. It was like kind of, you experience it and it might not necessarily even have had a name or you didn't know there was a name for it, whereas now you have access to education about it and you have access to conversations about it.

Peace and blessings, peace and blessings to you. I really appreciate this post. And I'd just like to chime in and say that mental health is very important. The acknowledgement that we live in a society upon the social constructs and negative programming that puts a lot of pressure on us and causes a lot of unintelligent things to happen within us by program and design. I think that we should pay attention to mental health and try to grow healthy by, you know, the people that we are.

The people that we're around and the people that we're allowed to come into our spaces, I think daily we should be, you know, making assessments to how we feel, what things are causing us to be triggered, what things that give us joy and try to capitalize in ways that we can grow in a positive way. But I would just want to say, man, to anybody out there, man, that's dealing with any form of mental illness out there, know that health is right around the corner. You're one decision away. So peace. Love y'all. With God's perfect love. Thank you, Elizabeth.

And one last thing to the Goddess, the Princess Warrior, we really appreciate you, Goddess, for what you bring to the table and what you're trying to do to strike up the conversations that we need to have. These are important conversations because we have a world of people, man, that need help. And then some of us, I know I do, I deal with my mental issues all the time, so I thank you so much, Goddess. Continue to be a warrior. Peace and love. Icons.
