Mental health is a fundamental right; the future of humanity depends on it.

How Our Bodies Are Holding Us Back
Why is it we wonder, in an age that so glorifies the toil for perfection, how we've come to view our bodies through such a distorted lens? Our society praises those who strive, who suffer in the name of success, for the sake of admonishing those who settle- leaving us to question just who could dare to be seen as anything other than unattainable? As a collective, we've stripped ourselves of our humanity, layer by layer, in favour of growing a new skin: One of invincibility. We've come to associate being at our peak with being untouchable, but set it at too steep a climb for the majority to make- marking not only the expectation, but the demand that we reach the top, in a trembling flag at its summit.

Without Emotion
Countless people around the world suffer from mental health issues on a daily basis. Some people can have better days, some can have worse. You could go on a three-year good streak and watch the world suddenly crash around you.

Brain V/S Religion
In recent years, psychological well-being has been the concentration of exceptional research consideration. Psychological well-being lives within the experience of the person. It might be characterized as the condition of feeling sound and cheerful, having fulfillment, unwinding, joy, and genuine feelings of serenity. It manages individuals' emotions about ordinary encounters in life exercises. Such sentiments may extend from negative mental states or mental strains, for example, uneasiness, sorrow, trouble, disappointment, passionate weariness, misery, and disappointment, to a state which has been distinguished as positive psychological well-being. There is currently generous writing which exhibits beneficial outcomes of religious convictions on mental prosperity in addition to the negative effects. Psychological well-being is profoundly identified with the person's religious belief, which offers a rich source of material to consider the connection between different measurements of religious inclusion and different aspects of mental prosperity. This research essay focuses on the effects of the religious belief on different dimensions of the life of human beings. It provides findings of the studies done on positive and negative effects of religious belief from different academic sources to state that religion is one of the determinants of human health and well-being focusing on mental health and will ultimately lead to stating that religion is such a big force that affects physical, mental, social, and overall well-being of a person but the effects depends on the way we perceive it.

Am I Crazy?
I've been admitted to the psychiatric ward of the hospital three times. You could call me crazy. You could say that I was in the "mad house" or "crazy ward". Maybe it's true, maybe I am crazy. Maybe there are some parts of the hospital that are for "crazy" people. But my experiences have been perfectly normal, and have taught me a lot about others.

My Mind is Messy
I don't want to be jealous or mad just because someone else gets the things I want, but I can't control my feelings. If people could control their feelings, depression wouldn't exist. I know being envious isn't nice but guess what? Not everything in life is nice. And I get mad at myself for feeling jealous, because I don't want to be jealous. Then I get mad at myself for getting mad at myself for getting jealous because I shouldn't get mad at myself for feeling something I can't control. It's complicated.

44/52: Week One - The Intake
05/05/2019: The Intake So my day isn’t going very well. Yes, I know you didn’t ask, but we are both here so let’s make the best of a shitty situation shall we? Like I was trying to say before you rudely rolled your eyes, my day is not going very well. My boss left a vague, yet detailed passive aggressive note in my employee box this morning. It said the following.

What is the purpose of my existence?
What is the purpose of my existence? This is one of the great philosophical questions of life. Why do I exist? What gives my life meaning? What is the point? We all seek an answer or provide our own response. We all find a reason for existing or we would not be reading this right now.

Personality Tests and What They Mean
While people have almost always had a concept of personality, it has been recent that scientists have started to gain an understanding of it. Many scientists have come up with theories on why humans behave the way they do, such as Freud, Erikson, etc. However, many flaws have been found in past theories. Now, researchers have a better understanding of personality, but there is still more to learn and discover. One of the many ideas psychologists have improved upon is the way we test for certain personality traits. Many tests and theories were made in the last century, and since then, scientists have been working to improve those methods. Presently, researchers have come up with the NEO PI-R. This test scores your personality based off of traits within the Big 5 personality traits: neuroticism, extroversion, agreeableness, openness, and conscientiousness. Within these larger overall traits, there are smaller traits that account for the characteristics. I personally took the test to see how I scored in each category, and I also had my best friend fill one out for me for comparison.

The Great Question of Suicide
It was Albert Camus who first brilliantly framed for us perhaps the most monumental question man might ever decide. For hundreds upon hundreds of years the great thinkers had been arguing over how we came to know anything, where the concept of beauty came from, and how we ought to live; all these questions presupposing the most intimately personal decision of all, whether to go on living or to not.

An Inquiry on My Life
I like to think I have a comfortable life, good family, nice friends, and good stuff but I can't help but stress and panic. I'm in college for now, although summer break is coming up and I find myself panicking. I find myself out of control and trying to pretend that I have it. I find myself wondering if I speak what's on my mind will anybody care to hear me and if they do, how bad will it change their opinion of me.
