[LOH#100] Helping a friend with Mental Health Issues
Another week with fantastic subject presented to us by @trangbaby for the @ladiesofhive weekly prompt.
Dealing with a mental problem is one crucial thing and everyone who is confronting it requires love and attention.
Nobody is beyond having mental illness even the affluent too.
So I have a friend who was assaulted by her cousin's brother who lived with them when she was younger. she genuinely despised guys because of it. Her mom was so busy that she hardly had time for her and every time she reports to her mum, her mum doesn't trust her.
It made her become an introvert and felt less of herself. It was incredibly hard for her to love herself not even someone.
When we met in school, we became and I was her close buddy. It was incredibly hard for her to even pour it out to me but over time she did. The past scenario has been influencing her present circumstances and anytime she thinks about it she gets depressed.
Show them love and care
If I ever get in touch with such folks, the first thing they need is love. They require care too.
Give them helpful advice
The finest thing you can do to someone suffering from mental health challenges is to offer them support and helpful recommendations. Letting them know they will pass through it and it isn't the end of life.
Never judge
If you see or hear someone pass. do not judge them. it makes their mental health worse, they told you because they trusted you.
If you have a friend with a mental health condition you might urge them to consult a therapist too or an older person.
I would love to invite @mell79 @lormez16 to join this contest. You can know more about it here

It's pretty good that you make her your friend, she will feel that love she has never experienced from her mum, that is nice of you.
Yeah, she thanks me everytime that her changed her mentality
What happened to your friend was heartbreaking; I hope she is dealing better and have the help she needs.
Your tips for helping a friend who is dealing with sad mental health episodes are sweet and kind. We could always need some love and care from someone who sees and understands us without judgement, in the moments where if feels like the whole world is against us. And it is always best to kindly suggest being open to getting help from a trained professional.
How thoughtful of you.
She's better now
At least i am encouraging her to forget the past and not let it hurt her
Good question this week, thanks for the invitation. This week I will have time to participate.
To go through such an event and not receive support from your loved ones, not even from your mother, must be tremendous. Luckily she found you as a friend and that would be a good support for her. Thank you for sharing the story.
Wow
Nice you will have time to participate.
I can't wait to read your entry
Good advice, @graciousvic !

Yes,we should show them love and attention🥺. That’s the easiest and nice thing we can ever do for a person suffering from mental health.
Exactly dear friend
I'm sorry to hear about your friend's case, and hopefully, she's doing better with you besides to support her. I appreciate what you've been doing to help her.
Mental health is a real and serious issue that should be taken seriously. It is important to be there for your loved ones and to show them that you care. Additionally, it is important to be a good listener and avoid judgement.
Thanks for the entry !LUV
It's not easy for her, but am glad she's doing better too
