I just push through but it was quite miserable. But I kept telling myself to just do it and what matters is just showing up everyday. I always tell myself that it wont last forever and that you are never to far from getting back to your feet. I also think life is way more than feeling pity for myself and its not worth it to constantly tell myself why I am bad at things. My main strategies are on the mental side and self-talk. I feel that the mental side will transfer over physically to overcome barriers.

Right now, the stigma for mental health isn’t that big anymore since right now everyone is more open-minded and would understand if someone is going through a hard mental episode. Some stereotypes such as mental illnesses are a disease that should be dispersed, and people shouldn’t treat those with mental health like an outcast and should help them to get the treatment they needed.

Although there's been some improvement in reducing mental health stigma, challenges remain, especially for teens facing stress and difficulty seeking help due to societal judgments and lack of awareness.

Currently with the rising suicide rates among youth, I feel that many teenagers and young adults are facing difficulty in reaching out and asking for help when they are facing mental health issues. I feel people are easily labelled for being mentally unstable and judged when they try to ask family and friends for help. And because of the general unawareness on the serious negative impacts that mental health issues can cause, a lot of people just brush it off and think that it is not something to give much importance to. Not only that, I feel especially the older generation are quite judgemental when they see someone going through mental health issues , and instead of providing help, they can cause them to feel worse.

Currently me being a student myself, i felt over the years from the transitions of different schools ive been in, schools have not really given much importance on the issues related to mental health. They are not very encouraging to students to actually seek help and the effort put into raising awareness amongst the students is very minimal to almost no effort.

I feel it is not enough. Mental health is not emphasized enough. Even though there are activities and events for it, it doesn’t connect with the individuals and how they feel. I think things that can be improved is maybe having a more positive environment and being more optimistic. But also schools also have a lot on their plate and doing these may take a lot of effort.

In my own personal opinion I feel young people just feel afraid that they would be judged or labelled as “Crazy” or “Mentally unstable” or even just “Seeking attention”. Due to this fears and stereotypes that is within our current society is what I feel would cause young people to not want to talk about their mental health. Also the older generation are not as aware of mental health issues and instead of providing help to these young people , I feel they might do the exact opposite by giving negative remarks and comments to what these young people are going through. I feel there is a strong judgement within the older generation with talking about mental health issues which can further cause young people not to reach out.

When people open up and others just tell them to not be sad. Like when you open up to your parents and they will say stuff that makes you wonder why you even told them your issues in the first place. I think it would be good if parents are thought on how to not be judgemental or learn how to react in situations like that. People also don’t have friends that can understand their feelings and be comfortable enough to share with.
