What does *mental health* mean to you?


I now work in the field of mental health, as some of you know. I am realising we all safeguard our mental health in different ways. I safeguard my mental health by getting enough sleep, eating my fruit and veg, and making sure I have my daily dosage of chocolate.

Some people have more of a challenge to maintain their mental health.

Some people stay away from crowded places.
Some people get massages and listen to tapes with jungle sounds.
Some people go out for tea every day.
Some people make sure they structure their day well.
Some people take meds to protect their mental health (most of them wish they didn't have to).

We all protect our mental health in different ways.

How do you stay mentally healthy?

Irrelevant side note:
I got myself some fringe.

ok, fine, i'll put it back:
I take care of my mental health by talking to people on the phone all day who are thinking about ending their relationship with tobacco. I also like to beat people up and steal candy from children. These are a few of the things that bring me joy in life.

ive been losing my mind a lot lately...i leave it different places around the house where i think it will be safe--& then my husband steps on it or my toddler finds it & pokes it with a stick...
the sleep/fruits & veggies/chocolate (& sometimes beer or bourban) plan usually works for me..writing & exercise are a must as well or i start a slippery decline into slow motion chaos...ive also been known to pack up, leave a note, & disappear to keep my peace of mind.
