Mental Illness

An illness that inflicts the person's mental state. Mental illnesses range widely from mild anxiety to severe schizophrenia. Depending on the severity of an illness, it can impact a person's life more than just mentally. For example, a person with borderline personality disorder might have a hard time holding down a job because of their mood instability. Other things that can be hard while mentally ill are keeping good hygiene, keeping healthy relationships, and keeping a good sleep schedule
John breaks up with Becky's best friend.
Becky: That was so sick of you! What, do you have a mental illness?

John: Mentally Ill is not an adjective. I have though, been struggling with depression. My mental ill ness doesn’t make me any less of a person.

mental gymnastics

The act of trying to justify actions or validate opinions not supported by any facts. A means of dealing with cognitive dissonance.
"Hey Jessica, you're really pretty today."
"Oh so you're saying that yesterday I was looking like shit. Also you're saying that because I'm a white fit woman. That makes you a pathetic misogynist and racist. Let's not mention the fact that if I didn't pander to your sexuality, I would be called unattractive and ugly. You, John, are a dumbass and a patriarchal pig, do you know how stressful it is to be a woman and having to look sexy 24 7 just so men get horny in this society? You don't, because you are such a privileged white male."
"Wow Jessica that was some serious mental gymnastics you did right there..."

mental health

well your mental health is so important guys!
Mental health encompasses emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It influences cognition, perception, and behavior. It also determines how an individual handles stress, interpersonal relationships, and decision-making. Mental health includes subjective well-being, perceived self-efficacy, autonomy, competence, intergenerational dependence, and self-actualization of one's intellectual and emotional potential, among others. From the perspectives of positive psychology or holism, mental health may include an individual's ability to enjoy life and to create a balance between life activities and efforts to achieve psychological resilience. Cultural differences, subjective assessments, and competing professional theories all affect how one defines "mental health". Some early signs related to mental health problems are sleep irritation, lack of energy and thinking of harming yourself or others.
