Life can be unpredictable. It can throw curveballs at us when we least expect it. Whether it's a sudden illness, a financial setback, or a relationship issue, we all face storms in our lives. These storms can leave us feeling helpless, anxious, and overwhelmed. But just like how the storm in the Bible was calmed, there are ways we can calm the storms in our lives.

Growing up in any family can be challenging at times. However, there are often unique issues when a family member or family members have a mental illness. Members of these families often have to deal with instability or unpredictability. Often there is confusion in family roles. For example, children or other family members may have to take over many of the parents’ responsibilities, such as taking care of younger siblings or managing household duties usually managed by parents. They may even have the responsibility of taking care of the emotional or physical needs of their parents. Children or other family members in these situations do not always receive the care and nurturing they need. In addition, individuals who have a family member with a mental illness may feel ashamed to talk about their situation with others and consequently may withdraw from relatives or friends who could help them or support them. Oftentimes they may have difficulties to recognize and express their needs to others and even to themselves. As a result, these individuals frequently feel isolated and alone. In today’s Podcast we go in detail on how to cope with that and overcome.

Many are the times when I’ve heard people say that they’re suffering fro Mental Health, yes it bothers me and today we’re going to be corrected, Mental Health is not a Problem, but those disorders that’s affect our mental Health. Todays podcast, we’re talking about mental health and illness in detail.
Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make healthy choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.

However,
Mental illnesses are health conditions involving changes in emotion, thinking or behavior (or a combination of these). Mental illnesses can be associated with distress and/or problems functioning in social, work or family activities.

However Mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of. It is a medical problem, just like heart disease or diabetes.

How Does Family Life Affect Mental Health?
When you check on the environment you’re in, you will realize that everything that has happened ever since you were born, is the reason for the state of your mental health today. Sometimes, it's the people you least expect,
The ones you never thought would hurt you.
That blind you with glitter in your eyes,
Then make you live on, never knowing what's untrue.
A lot of who you are is determined by the people you spend time with, especially those in your family. More in this episode

Betrayal in personal relationships refers to the violation of your trust by someone close to you.


The betrayal could be your partner's infidelity or it could be your best friend’s dropping you for a new friend.

Feeling betrayed can lead to a flurry of complex emotions and they may feel difficult to manage. This article discusses the types of betrayal, how to decide if you should end the relationship, and how to cope with feelings of betrayal.

Whether we Like it or not adversity is part of life.


Overcoming adversity is one of the biggest hurdles we face.
As Havelock Ellis wrote, "Pain and death are part of life. To reject them is to reject life itself."
Problems, large and small, present themselves to us throughout our whole existence.

Stress is not a mental health condition. It tends to have an obvious trigger, like a move, divorce, or illness. Stress typically resolves as life events change. However, stress can lead to mental health problems like anxiety and depression if it persists over long periods without relief.

Does other people’s negative energy bring you down? Maybe it’s your coworkers, family members, or even friends you’ve grown apart from.

When you’re surrounded by negativity, it’s easy to absorb that energy and start to feel negative yourself. This can mess with your mindset and make you feel drained. That’s why it’s so important to be around people who you easily connect with and who uplift your spirits. We all know that’s not always possible though, especially since we don’t get to choose our family members or coworkers.

That being said, there are ways we can bring positivity to situations and not let the negativity cloud our minds. In this pod! I’m sharing five tips for how to deal with negative people so they don’t get into your head.

As we go through these unprecedented times, we need to remember that our neighborhood and even strangers need to taste on our love instead of speaking trash to them. Let's all embrace this by spreading love, and speaking hope to all because they deserve our love regardless of who they are. Let love lead. #SpreadLove Not #Hate
