Mental Health.

Mental health is on the rise.

It can affect anyone of any race,

age. Let alone background

or statues.

A compassionate friendly smile

a caring attitude and love.

As well as having an open heart and soul.

Let alone an ear to listen.

Can go a long way

to someone in need and suffering.

You will be suprized at who it can

affect and how it started.

This caring post is even truer NOW than was when first posted : isolation and stress has caused even more weight on those working in mental health care.

Might you re.post your very sensitive and finely written thoughts. So many of us need a nudge to forget selves for a few minutes a day and think of those more fragile.

This is so true, we need to still take the time, even in these hard ones, to be kind and consifderate of others.
Take care, Dawn - Dave

i love this. its so true, one simple nice gesture can turn a horrible day into one you can survive, or if you're lucky even in a good one. but sadly it's also the other way around, one thing can turn a wonderful day into something you would do anything to forget

Love this poem!!! You’re such a great poet!!

Mental health is easy to grasp, yet it isn't. Why would I preach retail anything to my mind with my thought life? A lot of people don't and won't get this, as they would rather be little girl and boy types and big, fat pigs. I'm sure you get the idea...

mental health...mental hygiene...like flossing teeth and stretching running the muscle/sinews
what scaffolds get implanted in our growing mentality...in those early synapse growing years...
what skills do we develop to cope with emotional burps and farts as we grow through our child's hood...

More people need to know about mental health. Especially where I come from. Thank you

A small gesture can sure go a long way. I like what you're saying here.
Kindness costs us nothing.
