According to mental health professionals, if you find yourself struggling with your mental health, keep these tips in mind:
Schedule time to get some exercise and let off steam
Reach out to friends and family for emotional support
Begin to adjust your breathing so that your in-breath is a bit shorter than your breath out. For example: 5 seconds in, 7 seconds out. If doing this causes distress, simply go back to noticing your breath.
Lastly, if you find yourself experiencing on-going mental health concerns, it might be time to seek therapy and Ellie is here to help
In addition, the Centers for Disease Control says that more than 50% of Americans will be diagnosed with a mental illness or disorder at some point in their lifetime. The longer people wait to receive care the worse the effects can get, eventually leading to physical ailments as well. Symptoms of anxiety and depression can lead to substance abuse, thoughts of suicide and increased risk of cancer and diabetes.
