Greetings to all. We are now in the month of May, which is a time to commemorate people who suffer from mental illness.
I'm from Malaysia, and this is how SOME of my culture and society see this illness.
From my perspective, most of the society still believes that people with mental illnesses are made up, attention seekers, over thinkers, rigid, unwilling to be independent, and spoiled.
BECAUSE OF WHAT ?
MAYBE as a result of the stigma associated with mental illness and the fact that the topic of mental health is still somewhat "taboo" among us.
You know you can't see it, right?
When we learn that an acquaintance has a mental illness, we keep whispering about them, some how we give them suggestions, counselling, and casual conversations to them.
For example :
⏬
"Be patient.. God is testing you.."
"Remember God always.."
"Go and find a natural remedy rather than eating the medication; it's not good for you."
"Don't think too much.."
"I feel sorry for you.."
Such verses are useless for them.
BELIEVE ME!
They already are aware of such information.
In reality, they are stuck!
LOST!
LACK SPIRIT OF SELF!
HATE THEMSELVES!
They are TIRED of looking for a WAY OUT & SOLUTION.
HALLUCINATION/DELUSION VISUAL & AUDITORY HALLUCINATE is something that some of them constantly deal with.
They frequently notice distinct and random images.
Example of a delusion:
People were crushed and di*ed, bodies were trapped, blood was spilled, the sky split, fruits, animals, and plants spoke, and many more.
Examples of auditory or vocal sounds:
People screaming while they sleep; whispers; voices; eerie talks; any kind of music; and anything related to sounds.
This situation is absolutely NOT COOL, my hive friends.
Regardless of the time, it will happen all over and over again and it can be random.
Sometimes when working, eating, praying, taking a bath, riding a motorbike, operating a vehicle, and in other situations.
THEY LOST FOCUS !!!
Make them fearful of the circumstance.
It's VERY TERRIFYING.
Let's avoid conversation and make them despise their life even more.
These mentally ill people require TIME,
ACTION SUPPORT,
and most importantly,
TIME TO HEAL.
How long should it take?
Depends on the SUPPORT given.
Don't give these mentally ill people hope if you can't help at all, they are trying to survive everyday.
Due to the fact that the majority of these mental sufferers are searching for STRONG STRENGTH & REASONS to CONTINUE LIVING.
They won't think twice about taking their own lives if there are no other REASONS.
SIN ?
END UP IN HELL?
Unless they were NO LONGER sane, NO NORMAL human beings would take efforts to end their life.
Finally, the person who has this mental illness could be your child, partner, siblings, family, close friend, or acquaintance.
PLEASE ~ PLEASE ~ PLEASE
SUPPORT them.
🙏🙏🙏
Don't force them to think like a NORMAL person.
Some people are really silently suffering from mental problem. You're right that people who commit suicide are not really in good thinking. They can't do that if they could still think we'll.
Being silent is easy. Because not everybody can understand this kind of illness. Hoping the community will share more awareness towards this subject.
