How to talk to someone suffering from mental illnesses?

article image placeholderUploaded by @Tancy_0818
Maybe they are going through some kind of injury and that's medically affecting them, a disease that is mentally affecting them, how to approach them and how to start a conversation. And I would like to add this before I start, that once you approach these people, they'll feel really great. Let me add that once you ask them how are you doing, how's it going? They will really appreciate your thoughts that you made time to ask them

I would like to share how we can approach and socialize with people who seem sad, disturbed or mentally ill #sayitonswell

So Tanishka and your soul was so great. And it is a good initiative to make aware people about that. How can you interact with the people who are suffering from the mental illness? And yes, there is a biggest problem, like from mental wellness, just not like a big disease. It can be depression, it can be introvert personality that can make them mentally ill because they are not able to connect with everyone

They're just even accepting the fact that they need help or they're in a situation where they might be judged. It's a big deal. And that's when friends come in as just support to lean on. You need not offer any advice. You do not offer a solution, but just by providing them a listening gear. By actively listening, that means empathizing and not sympathizing empathizing with their situation, empathizing with the trauma or their family members or the calamity that has befallen them

Hey, Tanishka, this very was very useful and worthy to listen. And you know what I think is we should, you know, make comfortable the people who are sad or, you know, depressed it all the time. We should talk to them like you said in your swell. And I think there's nothing wrong with helping each other in our bad times

Dear Prachi, thank you so much for replying to myself and I'm glad that you liked it. And yeah, really, I just feel like we should help others because, you know what we give to the world, we get it back. And, you know, it's just kind of like good vibes everywhere. It's just something I feel like everybody wants to do. I feel like everybody likes to help others. We don't like to see other people sad

And that is one and another thing is and it's not also very easy to keep tabs on everyone because you have your own life to deal with and you have your own friends. And when you start balancing everything and managing, it turns out to be a chore rather than just a natural conversation. And one more thing is that you don't have to treat people who are going through something specially. You just have to act normal to them. Just initiate a normal conversation

Well, thank you for sharing that. I think that that is an important topic that we really need to talk more about, because I don't think that we really give a lot of credit and a lot of respect for people who are going through mental illness and suffering. And I know they have had to go through a lot, sometimes a lot more than what we've had to go through. So I appreciate you sharing that

And that's something that I would definitely do. Another thing I would also try and do is if you know someone that is going through something or maybe is struggling with mental illness or is just sad, is opening up about your own experiences beforehand. And that sort of shows where you want that conversation to go to, that you're open to where the conversation is going to go. And three, just allows them to connect to your own experiences

Yes, I totally agree with what you said. It's definitely becoming more acceptable to talk about mental wellness, mental health, and just how you are really feeling and being vulnerable in that regard. But it it doesn't really change anything on the ground level. If you aren't taking action, there's a lot that can be said. But if you aren't actively reaching out to other people or looking for help, then not a lot is going to change

And I feel like that's so amazing and I feel like all of us should use that. We have been given this power to talk and communicate in different ways in different languages and it's just so great. And if we use it, it will be so much great for all of us. And yeah, communication really helps and listening really helps them because they feel important. Who doesn't?

And we should really appreciate people a lot more who are going through this kind of thing because I feel like once they get these appreciations, I think they will feel more important and they'll feel like they can do it because a lot of them lose hope because they don't have a way of communicating or have a way of resolving their problems
