Folks may have suffered in silence in past decades, but awareness and education are shifting the conversation. Researchers have studied what makes us struggle and how to alter our state of mind. We can use this month to learn about resources and work toward a stronger sense of well-being in us all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Facts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you or someone you love needs immediate care, please consider going to an emergency room, calling 988, or texting START to 678-678 for LGBTQIA2S+ specific support. If you are not in an emergency, contacting your doctor can be a helpful first step. Oregon has a <a href=\"https:\/\/ccswebsite.org\/warmline\/#:~:text=Toll%2DFree%201%2D800%2D,No%20appointments%20needed!\">warmline<\/a> (a non-emergency resource to find someone to talk with) available. As reported in <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/15939837\/\"><em>General Psychology<\/em><\/a>, \u201c46% of Americans will meet the criteria for a mental health disorder sometime in their life.\u201d Anxiety disorders are the <a href=\"https:\/\/mhanational.org\/mentalhealthfacts\">most commonly diagnosed<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When to Seek Help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Please see the above paragraph for emergency resources or immediate situations. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mhanational.org\/sites\/default\/files\/MHM%202015%20-%20Fact%20Sheet%20-%20Get%20Informed%20B4Stage4.pdf\">Mental Health America<\/a> suggests that you or a loved one may consider seeking professional support when you notice several symptoms such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Inability to complete work or school tasks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Changes in energy levels and sleep patterns.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Disconnection from others or withdrawal from typically enjoyable activities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As with physical health, it is much easier to treat mental health if we seek help in the early stages of change. Mental Health Awareness Month helps us break down the shame of mental health needs. We should make changes if we feel that things are \u201cnot right.\u201d This may mean talking with our primary care physician or therapist or making lifestyle changes. You may consider taking <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mhascreening.org\/\">this online screener<\/a> to help you decide whether to seek support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Mental Health Is and Isn&#8217;t<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Psychologist Dr. Lisa Damour helps clarify the definition of mental health in her book <a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/p\/books\/the-emotional-lives-of-teenagers-raising-connected-capable-and-compassionate-adolescents-lisa-damour\/18529420?ean=9780593500019\"><em>The Emotional Lives of Teenagers<\/em><\/a>. She <a href=\"https:\/\/drlisadamour.com\/books\/the-emotional-lives-of-teenagers\/\">writes<\/a> \u201c<strong>that mental health isn\u2019t about \u201cfeeling good\u201d<\/strong> but about having feelings that fit the moment, even if those feelings are unwanted or painful.\u201d [emphasis Dr. Damour\u2019s] She shares an example of intense nervous feelings leading up to a big test as appropriate feelings, even if they\u2019re uncomfortable. This definition applies to all ages. \u201cGood\u201d mental health doesn\u2019t mean we\u2019re always happy; it means we have many fitting emotions. People are not naturally happy all the time, but that doesn\u2019t mean we have a diagnosable mental health disorder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mental Health is not Permanent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Reminding ourselves that our situations are not permanent can be helpful when our feelings are uncomfortable and life feels more effortless. We can be present to what we are living and enjoy it. There are practical steps we can take to shift our mindset. Research has shown that small habits in our lives can tremendously impact disordered thinking. Mental Health Awareness Month is a great time to build in some of these habits. The Center for Mental Health Services director, Dr. Anita Everett, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samhsa.gov\/blog\/mental-health-awareness-month-time-self-care\">shares a list of strategies <\/a>to boost our resiliency. We can experiment to see if our mood shifts with suggestions such as eating foods that help our bodies, sleeping enough and well, and spending time with our pets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When someone you love is struggling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Witnessing someone you care about suffering can be challenging. The cliches are right &#8211; we have to care for ourselves first. Dr. Kristin Neff\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/self-compassion.org\/self-compassion-practices\/\">guided exercises for self-compassion<\/a> can be essential touchstones throughout your day. You can express your concern and encourage your friend or family to seek help. You can invite them to walk with you in nature and offer care for them, but you can\u2019t take away their pain, necessarily. A presence can be significant for many people &#8211; you don\u2019t have to talk, but you can keep them company. You may consider talk therapy for yourself so that you have an outlet for the pain you feel and guidance for support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Let\u2019s use this awareness month to check in with ourselves, build resiliency habits, and take the next step we need for care, whether it\u2019s making that appointment for therapy, reaching out to a friend, or learning more about tools to support our growth.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Web Resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/publications\/i\/item\/9789240003927\">Doing What Matters In Times of Stress (WHO)<\/a> available in multiple languages<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mhanational.org\/mental-health-month\">Mental Health America<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jamielynntatera.com\">Self-Compassion for Children and Caregivers<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Books<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/p\/books\/atomic-habits-an-easy-proven-way-to-build-good-habits-break-bad-ones-james-clear\/12117739?ean=9780735211292\"><em>Atomic Habits<\/em><\/a> by James Clear (<a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/p\/books\/habitos-atomicos-atomic-habits-spanish-edition-james-clear\/19495931?ean=9786075694122\">En Espanol<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/p\/books\/burnout-the-secret-to-unlocking-the-stress-cycle-emily-nagoski\/9572582?ean=9781984818324\"><em>Burnout <\/em><\/a>by Amelia Nagoski, DMA and Emily Nagoski, Ph.D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.powells.com\/book\/how-to-tame-the-tumbles-the-mindful-self-compassionate-way-9781771613866\"><em>How to Tame the Tumbles<\/em><\/a> by Eileen Beltzner (for youth)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/p\/books\/self-compassion-the-proven-power-of-being-kind-to-yourself-kristin-neff\/9006877?ean=9780061733529\"><em>Self-Compassion<\/em><\/a> by Kristin Neff, Ph.D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p>By Megan McQueen.
