I wish everyone could feel loved. That would change the world. Not just in general not for each individual who feels loved.⁰
@KatieTheBigRockOne
I think I could recognize mental health as sth as important as physical health and started to try daily check-ins on how I feel. Also could see how physical health affects mental health.
@mary31 This month could certainly allow you to recognise the importance of your mental health and mental health in general, and encourage you to start treating that in a very similar way to physical health :) Daily check-ins can be very valuable in prioritising and focusing on your health in this way 💚journalling might be very helpful for you if you'd want to continue that on, it's always insightful to see your state, especially intriguing when you can also begin to see how physical and mental health link for you, I hope you get many chances to explore that!
@KatieTheBigRockOne
Hm. Everything kind of begins and ends with mental health. I really like that there's a month for it now. There's much more awareness and education on it than ever before. That may be the one thing that I feel is totally moving in the right direction. Maybe we can finally start to move against negative cycles that have repeated throughout all known history. I'd definitely like to see less people falling through the cracks, whether it be from mental health issues or other circumstances
@Torean I can definitely agree with this reply! So much links to our mental health, having now a month to celebrate awareness and education is definitely, I feel too, taking us in the right direction to recover from cycles in history and to improve on our current systems. I hope along with you that less people fall through the cracks and people get the support they need. This month opens up a lot in that area 💚I'm glad to read your outlook
@KatieTheBigRockOne
I so wish that mental health support is available to anyone. Anyone deserves support and help if they need it. It would make me so happy if everyone could receive it.
@goldenLion1121 I agree there, mental health support and help should be available to everyone, anyone who needs it should have the opportunity to receive such help. I hope with months like this and events like these it'll help push us all towards that reality 💚
Yeah, couldn't agree more ❤️
I just am learning mental health things and learn mine is BAD. Why I see doctors and therapist now try to help but is not helping I still just am very sad and upset all the time and I try not be but it is hard because I don’t understand why I feel like this so much but I want to learn more this month helps even if I don’t understand what most things mean still
@theboymoana Learning about mental health and discovering the extent of your own can be an overwhelming and confusing experience, but you should be proud you are exploring and facing it despite not fully being able to understand it 💚 This month opens a lot of opportunity to explore that more and hopefully begin to give a better idea for you
@KatieTheBigRockOne I see that mental is essential and those living with mental health issues..deserve care, understanding and compassion.
@KatieTheBigRockOne
It is important because it gets us talk about it more. Hopefully it will help us talk about it more often throughout the year!

What Is important to you about mental health awareness month?.....Honestly for me its pretty simple. Its just the fact that awareness and attention is brought to it. That its recognized as a Health issue. Mental Health is just as important as Physical Health. They go hand-in-hand.
@PoliteOcean For some the answer is definitely more straightforward! It's easy to recognise the importance in this month in normalising mental health and allowing people to view it similarly to physical health, both do go hand in hand with eachother 💚 When we change our outlooks on health and illness we'll be able to progress in treatment and compassion to one another
@KatieTheBigRockOne
Being aware of what is important to me as an individual. Learning more about mental health and what it means to be mentally health or unhealthy. Learning how to deal with different issues I may have and helping and learning how to help, and advocate for others.
@affectionateCat9553 There are a lot of aspects of the value of this month! It's wonderful to see someone recognise so many :) attention and awareness is key to normalising and legitimising the impact of mental health.
Being able to recognise that allows you to explore what health means and what that means to you as an individual. Allowing you to cope and explore issues you may face with knowledge, as well as using that to support and advocate for others 💚
Hello everyone, thank you for hosting and being here. Answering your question about what is important for me about Mental Health Awareness Month is actually spreading this awareness. We all know how important and fragile mental health is, that's why we're here but people outside of 7cups probably don't know much about it. This month is not only for us who are interested in psychology but also for those who never thought about it. I hope what I said is understandable and clear. Hope you have an amazing day. Cheers <333
@Antthony101 Your thanks are very kind 💚
Awareness is certainly one of the most important aspects of what mental health awareness month brings; the great members and listeners of 7cups as well as many away from cups realise the importance of this :) This month is for everyone to explore and become more knowledgeable and understood, I'm glad to hear your point of view!
Have a great day too :)
