Awareness Resilience Series

Resilience is the ability to overcome challenges, adapt, and keep going after something difficult has happened in your life. From this series we have learned that no matter what you suffer from, whether it is a disease, disorder, depression, sexuality or anything that effects your mental health, you will be able to overcome it if you have the determination and courage to do so. You don’t have to be perfect all the time and it’s ok to be sad and to have flaws, as everyone in this life struggles in their own way. Getting through the hardship a person faces with their mental health issues like addiction, depression depends on the way they deal with them. It is essential to create yourself and love yourself the most. Never compare yourself with others and live the life you want to live, don’t let others plan your life for you. All you have to do is accept yourself for who you are and draw your own kind of happiness. Always believe that emotions come and go and feeling depressed or afraid doesn’t mean that you lost, it just means you have to look at things from another perspective. Have faith that one day you will find the things in life that you are good at, that might give you the feeling of success even if they are simple and always surround yourself with people that you love, as they are your biggest support and motivation in overcoming your mental health problems and play a role in your mental-wellbeing . Never let the fear of being sick to stop you from living, and don’t compare yourself with others. Always think that being different makes you unique. Resilience means that you have to have hope and faith because all you need is time to make you heal and deal with your feelings to shift the burden off your chest.
